Harald "ET" Geier (born November 20, 1972 in Wiener Neustadt ) is a former Austrian professional boxer.

Geier became a professional at Universum Box-Promotion in 1990 and won his first 20 fights in a row, eleven of them by knockout (knockout).

On February 19, 1993 he boxed in Wiener Neustadt against the Englishman Peter Buckley for the intercontinental championship of the WBA in super bantamweight. Buckley had won only 18 of his 42 fights so far, only four of them by knockout. Geier had to the ground in round 9, but won after 12 rounds on points.

After six more victories in a row, he received on September 3, 1994 a fight for the world championship of the association WBO in super bantamweight. The Puerto Rican title holder Daniel Jiménez had 17 wins, three losses and a no-contest fight in his professional record. Against Geier he denied his fourth title defense. In the fight, Geier was hit hard by Jiménez in the first attack and was knocked out after 17 seconds, which was a speed record at the time of the fight.

After that, Geier played eleven fights, of which he won ten. On November 30, 1996 he entered the fight for the European Championship of the EBU in bantamweight against the ex-world champion in super flyweight and later world champion in bantamweight, the Danes Johnny Bredahl . He lost this fight in the 5th round by knockout and then only played four fights, of which he won three. Against the later Hungarian champion Sandor Koczak he had to accept a point defeat.

In 1998 he ended his career and now runs a fishing sport shop in Wiener Neustadt.
