amateur
As an amateur , Bunn won eleven Hessian boxing championships in a row from 2005 to 2015. In the Bundesliga seasons 2011/12 ( CSC Frankfurt , 2nd Bundesliga), 2012/13 and 2013/14 ( SV Nordhausen , 1st Bundesliga), the counter boxer Bunn remained undefeated in all thirteen fights and won the reigning national champion Mateusz Tryc (Poland) and Serge Michel (Germany). In the 2014/15 season, Bunn was German team champion of the 1st Bundesliga with SV Nordhausen. After losing in the final of the German championship in 2014 due to a cut injury , Bunn became German champion in 2015 and also won the light heavyweight chemistry cup.
In his amateur career, the left wingman Bunn achieved 80 wins in seven draws in his 112 fights, although he has only lost three fights since 2012.
Professional career
Leon Bunn's professional debut took place in Sofia on December 3, 2016 , when he defeated his opponent Gordan Glisic in the first round by technical knockout . Also in 2016, Bunn was signed by the Berlin Boxstall Sauerland Event and has been trained by Ulli Wegner ever since .
In 2017, Bunn also won his debut as a Sauerland fighter as well as his four other fights ahead of schedule. In his sixth fight as a professional boxer, he managed to defeat his opponent Tomasz Gargula from Poland in the fifth round with a technical knockout despite a hand injury.
In 2018, Leon Bunn fought a total of six times, including internationally in Norway and Croatia. Bunn was able to expand his record with five unanimous wins on points and a TKO (technical termination of the fight by the referee in the fight against Emmanuel Feuzeu, after the Spaniard's corner did not want to play the next round) and thus remained victorious in all of his first twelve professional fights.
In February 2019, Bunn first fought in Koblenz against Viktor Polyakov, whom he defeated unanimously on points. On May 4, 2019, Bunn boxed in his hometown of Frankfurt am Main against Leon Harth, who previously competed in the cruiserweight division , for the IBF International light heavyweight title and won through TKO. On November 2, 2019, Bunn defended the title at a benefit boxing gala against Enrico Kölling , in which the proceeds from both ticket sales and donations at the event went to three non-profit associations.
