newsroom Company Nov 8, 2015 Hück vs. Botha He's done it again. Uwe Hück, Head of the Works Council at Porsche, climbed into the ring for the second time for a good cause. His opponent: former heavyweight boxer Francois Botha. Head of the Works Council in the daytime, boxer in the evening. Uwe Hück spent a year preparing for this evening. After all, it's not every day that you get into the ring with a real heavyweight boxer. After Luan Kransiqi, this time Francois Botha was the chosen opponent. The 47 year old with the arena name "The White Buffalo" has boxed against Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield – and on Saturday evening against the Head of the Porsche Works Council. He didn't treat his opponent gently. At the end of the fight that you can see here in the Carrera TV recording the decision was: a draw. Uwe Hück says: "It was a tough and disciplined fight." And the many celebrities who had come especially to the MHP arena in Ludwigsburg to cheer for the Head of the Works Council – including ex professional boxer Regina Halmich and actors Ralf Möller and Mark Keller – were of the same opinion. In addition to the main fight an extensive supporting programme with four further boxing matches, performances by Peter Freudenthaler from Fools Garden and cabaret artist Christoph Sonntag and a tombola provided entertainment until after midnight. And all in aid of a good course as the proceeds and donations from the evening are going to various charitable foundations including the children's charity SOS Kinderdörfer and the educational charity Lernstiftung Hück.

"Mike" Tyson Years
Name: Michael Gerard "Mike" Tyson Years: June 30, 1966 to Present Residence: Scottsdale, Arizona Brief Biography: “Iron” Mike Tyson was born in Brooklyn, New York on June 30th, 1966. After his father abandoned him and his mother passed away, Tyson was adopted by Cus D’Amato, a boxing manager and trainer. Tyson moved frequently around New York and was a trouble child at a young age. In fact, Tyson was already arrested 38 times by the age of thirteen. Tyson was introduced to boxing by Bobby Stewart, a former boxer and juvenile detention center counselor, in Johnstown, a town in Fulton County. Tyson went on to win a silver medal in the 1982 Junior Olympic Games, where he won every fight by knockout. The 16-year-old also set a world record by knocking out an opponent in a mere eight seconds. His professional career began in March 1985 in Albany, where he beat Hector Mercedes in a first round knockout. Tyson went on to win 26 of his first 28 fights by KO. His first nationally televised fight was in Troy in February 1985, where he knocked out Jesse Ferguson in six rounds. Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion ever in November 1986 when, at the age of 20, he captured the WBC heavyweight championship after knocking out Trevor Berbick in two rounds. In March 1987, Tyson added the WBA heavyweight championship to his résumé after defeating James Smith. Only five months later, Tyson became the undisputed heavyweight champion after capturing the IBF heavyweight championship from Tony Tucker in a twelve-round unanimous decision.

Top Rank and Star Boxing Join Forces to Promote Heavyweight Contender Carlos Takam
Top Rank and Star Boxing Join Forces to Promote Heavyweight Contender Carlos Takam (Sept. 25, 2019) — Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and former heavyweight world title challenger Carlos Takam have joined forces with Top Rank. Takam, 38, will make his Star Boxing/Top Rank debut on an ESPN platform in early 2020. “Carlos Takam is an exciting, world-class heavyweight who always makes for outstanding fights,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “I look forward to working with Joe DeGuardia and his team, as we believe Carlos has what it takes to reach the top of the division.” “Big thanks to my promoter Joe DeGuardia of Star Boxing and many thanks to ESPN and Bob Arum,” Takam said. “I am grateful and excited for the opportunity in my quest to become the heavyweight champion of the world. I would like to thank my team for the great job they are doing and all my fans all over the world for their support.” Said DeGuardia: “Carlos and I are pleased to be joining forces with Top Rank and ESPN. Carlos will have all the opportunities needed to rise to the pinnacle of the heavyweight division, and we are certainly looking forward to 2020.” Takam (37-5-1, 28 KOs) is a 14-year pro who has been a contender for the better part of a decade, notching wins over former world title challengers Tony Thompson, Francois Botha and Michael Grant. He challenged Anthony Joshua for the unified heavyweight title on October 28, 2017, putting forth a respectable effort before being stopped in the 10th round.
