Career

He made his professional debut on September 26, 2005 against Vladimir Tazik. Weber won the fight by technical knockout (TKO) in the first round. After further victories, his eighth fight ended in a draw on November 18, 2006 against the French Frank Haroche Horta. On September 13, 2007, Maurice Weber boxed in his eleventh professional fight against Daniel Käfer for the vacant German championship title in the light middleweight division. He won this fight on points. In the direct rematch, too, all ten rounds were boxed and Weber was again named the winner. This time Daniel Käfer had to go down once in the third and fourth round. Weber last successfully defended his German championship title on July 11, 2008 against Johannes Fabrizius. On December 5, 2008 Weber lost to the Frenchman Frederic Serre by a narrow majority decision by the judges (77:77, 75:77, 76:78). During this fight Weber seriously injured his right hand and had to end his sporting career on the advice of several doctors.

After a three-year recovery break, he made a successful comeback for the Sturm Box promotion on December 2, 2011 in the SAP Arena in Mannheim with Magomed Schaburow as coach. This was followed by a quick knockout win in the Lanxess Arena in Cologne on April 13, 2012 , a fight in Sarajevo with a clear win on points on June 8, 2012, and another knockout win in round three in the Oberhausen arena on September 1, 2012 and on February 1st, 2013 in the Düsseldorf ISS Dome a clear victory on points. Weber then achieved three quick knockout victories: on July 1, 2013 in the Dortmund Westfalenhalle , on December 7, 2013 in the Stuttgart Porsche-Arena and on May 31, 2014 in the König-Palast in Krefeld. In June 2014 Weber finished in a top 15 position for the first time in his career, ranking 11th at the WBO . In March 2015, he reached his hitherto highest ranking in a world rankings with rank 6 at the WBA . His highest fight so far was an interim world championship in the WBA association against Jack Culcay-Keth on May 9, 2015, in which Weber broke his right hand in the third round. He still boxed for the full 12 rounds, but lost the fight on points. After this injury, he won a fight in the MBS Arena Potsdam on April 9, 2016 clearly and by knockout in the 3rd round. Weber was on the undercard of the previous opponent Jack Culcay-Keth. Since then, he has not been able to contest further fights because of his hand injury.
