Erwin Heiber (born March 1, 1956 in Hemmoor ) is a former German boxer . As a professional boxer, he was German light middleweight champion (also known as super welterweight).

Life

Heiber from Hemmoor was in the ring for the first time as a professional boxer in April 1977. He suffered his first defeat in October 1978, having previously won five fights in a row. The trained bricklayer boxed for the first time in July 1983 for the German light middleweight championship for professional boxers, but lost on points in the Festhalle in Frankfurt am Main against title holder Jean-André Emmerich . In February 1984 the two boxers met again: In the fight in the Alsterdorfer Sporthalle in Hamburg , Heiber sat down in Parisprepared for this task in front of 1,800 spectators on points. Emmerich doubted the judges' judgment and ended his professional career.

Heiber defended his German championship title against Jürgen Broszeit (technical knockout in the second round) in May 1987 , a good three months later Heiber went down twice in the fight against the Dutchman John van Elteren, the duel ultimately ended in a draw. In October 1987 he fought in the Swiss Morges against Mauro Martelli for the European Championship, but lost on points. The Swiss Martelli said in retrospect that Heiber was an "old hand" who also used head and elbow kicks in the fight.

At the end of June 1988, Heiber got a second opportunity to box for the European title. In the sports hall Wandsbek in Hamburg he faced the French René Jacquot in front of 2000 spectators , but gave up in the eleventh round. Heiber was then reported by the Hamburger Abendblatt that he had no strength left to turn the fight around . The German had already been counted in the first round because he went down, which was due to a slip. In the course of the fight, however, Heiber, supervised by René Weller , was powerless against Jacquot's left leading hand and right uppercut . At the end of February 1989, Heiber lost his German championship title. The fight against José Varela from Rüsselsheim had to be stopped in the fifth round because Heiber had sustained an eye injury. It was also his last fight as a professional boxer.
