Former two-time WBO heavyweight champion Herbie Hide (40-4, 39 KOs) is going for gold again. On December 23rd in Halle (Saale) "the Dancing Destroyer" faces unbeaten Mikhail Nasyrov (18-0, 13 KOs) for the vacant WBC International cruiserweight belt. Rudolf Kraj had relinquished the belt after his last successful defense on December 6th because he is fighting an elimination bout for the world championship next. To become world cruiserweight champion is exactly what Herbie is aiming for as well. "I would have loved to strip the belt from Kraj by beating him in the ring," said Hide.
