Captain Huck once recognized the great talent of the Hessian native of Serbian roots. In 2016, when he was still the IBO world champion, he hired Tommy Punch as his sparring partner and was so enthusiastic about him that he immediately signed him to his then-newly formed team, MH Boxing. “The guy has such ambition, such strong will and extremely good ability, so we had no choice but to sign him,” enthuses the current heavyweight. His brother Kenan Hukic, CEO of MH Boxing, adds: “I looked Marco in the eye after the sparring and without saying anything we agreed implicitly to add Tommy to our team.”
