Germany vs. England – Masterboxing Supercard with Three WBU World Championship Fights
A milestone for European masters boxing
Markt Erlbach (15 November)
One of the most significant masters boxing events of the year took place on Saturday evening at the Rangauhalle in Markt Erlbach. In front of a packed house, 21 bouts were contested, including three officially sanctioned WBU world championship fights – two of them inaugural title bouts and one successful title defence.
Masters boxing, long smiled at and underestimated, presented itself here on a fully professional level:
Male and female athletes from Germany, England, Italy, Austria, Bulgaria and the Netherlands, aged between 32 and over 60, delivered technically high-quality and fair contests throughout the entire evening.
The event was organized by Ralf-Peter Frohn-Lux and Ralph Heerdegen, who have been working for years to establish professional structures in masters boxing.
A special highlight of the night was the successful title defence by WBU world champion Jürgen Grabosch, who was coached in his corner by Siegfried “Sigi” Schuster, a former successful Austrian boxer.
Sporting- as well as organisation-wise, the event set new standards and stands as further proof that masters boxing has secured its rightful place within the European boxing landscape.
Ralf-Peter Frohn-Lux is a German WBU Master Boxing World Champion, entrepreneur and former elite endurance athlete.
With more than 40 years of experience in competitive sports, he has successfully combined high-level boxing, extreme endurance challenges and business leadership.
