17 years after winning the WBC International (Heavyweight) Championship for the first time “The Dancing Destroyer” is back on top. Herbie Hide knocked out unbeaten Russian prospect Mikhail Nasyrov (19-0-0) in round 6 at Maritim Hotel in Halle/Saale to recapture “his” belt. Nasyrov recovered from three knock-downs in the 2nd but was brought down and stopped by one of Herbie’s fast combinations in the 6th.
Right after the victory Herbie called his wife Helen in Las Vegas: “Tell the kids that daddy is the champion again!” To the press he stated “This 25-year-old boy had the chance to become a champion and fought for his life but ‘The Dancing Destroyer’ stopped him cold. Now I will go on to become World Cruiserweight Champion. Tell Marco Huck and David Haye that I will knock them out the same night if they want!.”
Promoter Ahmet Öner: “That was boxing that I like to watch. This Russian kid just didn’t want to give up. Every time Herbie knocked him down he stood right up again and came back. I think he might have even won one or two rounds. Still Herbie showed great effort and once more proofed that he is one of the hardest hitting cruiserweights in the world.”
