Ottomar Sachse
Ottomar Sachse (born April 15, 1951 in Lützen ) is a former German boxer . He won a total of six light heavyweight medals at world and European championships for amateurs.
Career
Ottomar Sachse started boxing as a teenager. Due to his success, he was delegated to SC Chemie Halle as a junior . His coach there was Jürgen Witte. He also attended the children's and youth sports school in Halle (Saale) , where he was able to optimally combine his school education with his sporting ambitions.
At a height of 1.90 meters, Ottomar Sachse always boxed in the light heavyweight category, up to 81 kg body weight. In 1970 Ottomar Sachse was European junior light heavyweight champion in Miskolc / Hungary. He defeated the Hungarian Imre Siklosi in the final battle by breaking off in the second round. This success marked the beginning of a very successful boxing career that lasted until 1977.
In 1970 Ottomar Sachse was the light heavyweight tournament winner at the Chemistry Cup, which was held for the first time in Halle (Saale). In the final, he won it over the former GDR light heavyweight Jürgen Schlegel . By 1975 he won this tournament, which was always filled with internationally high-ranking boxers, five more times in a row. He was the record holder for this tournament for a long time until he was replaced by his boxing colleague Sven Küchler from Halle , who won this tournament seven times.
In 1971, Ottomar Sachse was the first time East German champion among senior citizens. He defeated Knut Anders from TSC Berlin . By 1977 he won this title five more times. His victory over Bernd Wittenburg in 1977 was particularly remarkable .
In 1971 Ottomar Sachse was vice European light heavyweight champion in Madrid . In the final he was defeated by the Yugoslav boxing legend Mate Parlov on points (0: 5). The start at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich was less successful for him , because he lost there on points in his first fight against the largely unknown Angel Cuello from Argentina (1: 4 judges' votes). He was eliminated and finished together with all the other losers of his round only 17th place.
At the European Championships in 1973 in Belgrade , he then won his second medal at an international championship. After a bye in the 1st round, a demolition victory in the 3rd round in the quarter-finals over Georgi Stoymenow from Bulgaria was enough for him . In the semifinals he lost to Oleg Georgijewitsch Korotajew from the USSR on points (1: 4).
In 1974 Ottomar Sachse celebrated a great success at the Honved Cup in Budapest , because he beat the 1972 Olympic middleweight champion Vyacheslav Lemeschew from the USSR on points in the final battle of this tournament . In the same year he won another medal with the 3rd place at the world championship for amateurs in Havana for the first time . He lost again in the semifinals against Mate Parlov on points.
At the European Championships in 1975 in Katowice , Ottomar Sachse won two short-round victories over Erich Prückler from Austria and Constantin Varan from Romania . In the semifinals, however , he was defeated by the Russian Anatoly Klimanov , which in turn meant that he had to make do with a bronze medal . At the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal he won two victories over Louis Ngatchou from Cameroon and Jean-Claude Montane from Andorra . In the quarter-finals, however, was the end of the line for him, because he was defeated here against the later professional heavyweight world champion Leon Spinks from the United States on points (0: 5). This placed him in 5th place.
In 1977 Ottomar Sachse finally fought his way to the final with three wins at the European Championships in Halle (Saale) . But it was not granted to him again to win a major international title, because in this final he was defeated by Dawit Kwatschadze from the USSR and came in second place.
After 1977 Ottomar Sachse ended his boxer career. He finished his studies and received his doctorate as Dr. rer. nat. He is an independent entrepreneur in Halle and is also involved in various sports institutions on a voluntary basis, such as B. the German Olympic Society.
