Marco Huck (born November 11, 1984 as Muamer Hukić in Sjenica, Serbia) is a German professional boxer of Bosniak origin. He is the current WBO Cruiserweight Champion.

Marco started Taekwando and kickboxing at the age of ten. As an amateur kickboxer he had some success winning a gold medal at first the W.A.K.O European championships in 2002 and then at the same organizations world championships in 2003 aged just 18. Despite success in Full-Contact kickboxing he decided to switch completely to boxing, having also participated in the sport since he was 15.^[1]

In 2004 he proved himself in sparring for promoter Sauerland and turned pro under Ulli Wegner. There he showed a crowdpleasing aggressive style, good stamina, power, a decent chin and a strong will to win but a volatile temper and an extremely dirty fighting style making him a controversial character.

In the build-up he bested amateur stars Michael Simms and Claudio Rasco and had his first major fight against contender ( rated in the Ring Magazine) Pietro Aurino. In a typical wild affair he was butted by the Italian and kicked him in the stomach in return. When he wasn't disqualified the Italian stormed out of the ring in disgust and was declared loser.

Right afterwards he outpointed another world class fighter in undefeated (23-0) contender Vadim Tokarev this time without controversy.

He was rated #7 by the Ring Magazine when he fought Steve Cunningham, however Huck was knockout by Cunningham in his first title defense.

After the loss to Cunningham he has since won six straight fights by knockout and on March 13,2010 Huck won the WBO Cruiserweight title from Victor Emilio Ramírez. He has since defended this title eight times against Ola Afolabi, Adam Richards, Brian Minto, Matt Godfrey, Denis Lebedev, Ran Nakash, Hugo Garay and Rogelio Omar Rossi.
