Karl Furcht (born March 28,  1938 in Aachen ) is a former German boxer . He was a German champion in professional boxing.

Life

After his debut as a professional boxer in February 1961, Furcht fought for the first time for the German championship in early June 1962, but lost to Conny Rudhof in Cologne . About a year later Furcht also failed the second attempt, he lost the fight for the German lightweight championship against Willy Quatuor in Munich . Feart won the title in the third attempt: In April 1964 he boxed against Peter Goschka in Oldenburg in front of 4,000 spectators . Fear knocked his opponent to the ground in the fifth round and again in the next round. With a liver hook , fear, which according to the Hamburger Abendblatt "burrowed into" the opponent, caused the fight to end prematurely.

In September 1966, Furcht, who was supervised by Jupp Thelen as manager, defended the German championship title when he defeated Lothar Abend in his home town of Kiel with a demolition victory (seventh round). Although fear plagued private worries at the time, he won convincingly in the state capital of Schleswig-Holstein . “Fear, whose style is that he has no, wedged both hands,” reported the Hamburger Abendblatt about the duel. In the following fight against Klaus Jacoby in Oldenburg in October 1966, fear had advantages, especially at the beginning of the duel and in the ninth round, the judges decided on a draw, so fear remained German champions. At the end of February 1967 both faced each other again in the ring, fear won prematurely in Cologne. The ice rink in Dusseldorf  was the venue for the third fight between Furcht and Jacoby in September 1967. After the ninth round, the German champion got into trouble at times, but was better in the previous rounds. The fight found no winner.

In the years that followed, fear, which often fought at events in other European countries, recorded significantly more defeats than victories. In the penultimate fight of his time as a professional boxer, a German championship title (this time in welterweight) was at stake, but the Aachener lost to Kurt Hombach in April 1973 . At the end of August 1973, Feart stood in the ring for the last time as a professional boxer, losing to Wolfgang Gans .
