Professional career

The shooter, who is considered stubborn, trained in his professional career with Werner Papke, Fritz Sdunek , Werner Kirsch and Eckhard Dagge , among others, and he was under contract with Universum Box-Promotion . He completed his first professional fight in December 1990 in his hometown of Berlin and won over four rounds on points. In his third fight he defeated Bernd Friedrich in his professional debut. On 10 January 1992, he met in the fight for the International German Heavyweight Championship on Mario Guedes ; in the fast-paced and action-packed duel, however, Guedes was able to prevail on points, Schießer suffered his first defeat. Afterwards his career seemed to stagnate, the following victories were mostly hard-won, against Marco van Spaendonck only one draw was possible.

The rematch with Guedes took place on October 15, 1993. Again it was over the full distance of ten rounds, but this time Schießer won the match. Guedes accused him of taking doping substances after the fight, because Schießer, like in many other fights, looked beaten several times, but quickly recovered in the ring breaks and continued to box aggressively. However, Guedes later distanced himself from the undetectable allegations.

After four more early victories, the Berliner was given the opportunity to fight Henry Akinwande for the European Championship on June 23, 1994 . After he was able to make the fight quite open at the beginning, he broke in the middle rounds and was finally knocked out in the seventh round by Akinwande by a left hook.

In January 1995 he won the German championship by a TKO victory over Steffen Wiesenthal . He defended the title in rematches against Wiesenthal and Bernd Friedrich. The fight with Friedrich fought over so hard that the BDB against both boxers several months protective barriers imposed and shooter but knew the championship.

In the third duel with Friedrich he was then able to win the International German Championship again in May 1997 by technical knockout in the tenth round . However, he lost the title to Willi Fischer in the next fight six months later . On June 10, 1998, he fought in the Munich Circus Krone against the unbeaten Kim Weber , who had meanwhile won the German championship. In a typically spectacular fight, he won by technical knockout on lap nine.

Then he boxed for the second time for the European Championship. Against the Ukrainian Vitali Klitschko he had no chance on October 24, 1998 and lost by technical knockout in the second round. In 1999 he lost to Timo Hoffmann prematurely , then his performance dropped rapidly. After losing to Özcan Çetinkaya from Turkey in March 2003, he ended his career.
