Kim Weber (born January 13, 1971 in Cologne ) is a former German heavyweight boxer.
amateur
Kim Weber only started boxing at the age of 17, after having previously practiced other martial arts such as kickboxing and ju-jutsu . As an amateur, he boxed for SC Colonia 06 Cologne and Bayer Leverkusen under coach Fritz Sdunek . He has only played 23 amateur fights, of which he lost six.
Professional career
In 1994 he turned pro and signed a boxing promotion with Universum . After winning his first 17 fights, he boxed on October 5, 1996 against his also unbeaten Frankfurt rival Willi Fischer for the German heavyweight championship. The fight, which Weber won over ten rounds on points, took place in Cologne and was more of a home judgment.
A little later he suffered a debris book of the kneecap and a ruptured outer ligament in a serious motorcycle accident . He was only able to return to the ring after just under a year. On July 10, 1998 he went sensationally KO against Mario Schießer in the fight for the German championship title . Against Willie Chapman he was down again in the same year.
In October 1999 there was a rematch against Willi Fischer. The fight took place in Frankfurt am Main and again the local hero won controversially, this time it was the Frankfurt fishermen. After another victory, Weber ended his career at the age of 28.
Others
