The EBU belt is currently owned by Joe Joyce, who will soon leave it vacant, because in the spring he will have a duel for the interim WBO belt against Alexander Usyk. The Briton won the title in November, stopping Daniel Dubois.
Huck has been the official contender for the EBU belt for a long time, while Yoka won the European Union title on Friday. The European Boxing Union is likely to appoint a fight of the Frenchman and the German, who previously held the world heavyweight title. Huck had his last fight in August.
