Bad news for Herbie Hide: The WBC Cruiserweight Final Eliminator between the “Dancing Destroyer” and Matt Godfrey originally scheduled to take place on March 6 in Cuxhaven, Germany, has been postponed for at least eight weeks because Godfrey suffered a hand injury while preparing for the fight.

Nonetheless, Hide, 46-4 (42), will make his next appearance on March 6 in an eight-rounder against an opponent to be announced.

“I am fired up to get back to Cuxhaven”, says Hide. “I wasn’t happy with my last performance here and I am glad about the chance to show my fans the real ‘Dancing Destroyer’.

"I am not coming here for playing. I will use this fight to prepare for Godfrey. My goal is to become the first former heavyweight champion to win the cruiserweight title and nobody will stop me on my way.” More...
