Klaus-Peter Tombers (born October 10,  1939 in Hamburg ; † 2016 ) was a German boxer . He was German champion in professional boxing ( middleweight ).

Life

Tombers boxed for the Hamburg club HBC Heros Wilhelmsburg, then the BC Wilhelmsburg. As a junior he was German runner-up and Hamburg champion.

In March 1961 he fought his first fight as a professional boxer in Kiel . Tombers had a match record of nine wins, six losses and one draw when he  boxed against Hans-Dieter Schwartz for the German middleweight championship in late September 1972 . Tombers won the duel and thus the title. The 1.68 meter long Tombers, who was characterized by a strong left hand and who was at times sparring partner of Jürgen Blin , lost the championship title to Eckhard Dagge in early June 1973 . The fight took place in front of 4,000 spectators on the Waldbühne in West Berlin . Tombers got into big trouble on lap three and got on his knees but kept fighting. The duel was canceled in the fifth round, Dagge had defeated Tombers by technical knockout. For the fight Tombers received a reward of 12,000 D-Marks.

In September 1973 he fought for the German junior middleweight championship. Tombers lost the fight against Randolph Hombach . He went down for the third time in the eleventh round and was unable to resume the fight. Previously, Tombers had also sent his opponent to the boards. The duel, which was held in Hamburg's Ernst-Merck-Halle during a fight evening, was overshadowed by the death of Tomber's trainer and manager Alwin Hühnke, who collapsed in the sixth round in the corner of the ring with a heart attack. In his last fight as a professional boxer, Tombers lost at the end of January 1977 to the Cameroonian Louis Pergaud , who made his debut in the professional camp at the duel in Bremen .
