Marco Huck vs. Mairis Briedis live results

The big boys take center stage this afternoon as veteran Marco Huck battles Latvian puncher Mairis Briedis for the WBC Cruiserweight Championship. The two headline a BoxNation stream from Dortmund that’s scheduled to kick off at 8:00 PM BST (3:00 PM ET).

Huck (40-3-1, 27 KO) has won two straight since Krzysztof Glowacki ended his run as WBO champion in 2015, stopping rival Ola Afolabi for the IBO title and defending it with a decision over Dmytro Kucher last November. Briedis (21-0, 18 KO), meanwhile, smashed Olanrewaju Durodola last May to become Tony Bellew’s mandatory challenger and followed it up with a quick drubbing of Simon Vallily.

The other fight of note pits WBO and WBC women’s middleweight champion Christina Hammer (20-0, 9 KO) against Sweden’s Maria Lindberg (15-1-2, 8 KO).

We’ll have round-by-round coverage of the main event, plus quick recaps of whatever BoxNation elects to show us beforehand.
