Peter Goschka (born October 25,  1937 in Hamburg ) is a former German boxer .

Life

Goschka boxed as an amateur for the Hamburg club BC Sportmann and was there protégé of trainer Alfred Rehn. Goschka's father was the club's second chairman. In December 1959 he switched to the police SV. At the European Championships in 1957 in Prague he won the bronze medal in the bantamweight division and  silver in the featherweight division at the 1959 European Championships in Lucerne . He was German champion three times: in 1957 in the weight class up to 54 kilograms, in 1958 and 1959 in the weight class up to 57 kilograms. Goschka was German runner-up in the class up to 51 kilograms in 1956.

The Hamburger made his debut as a professional boxer at the end of March 1960 in Dortmund . By mid-June 1961 Goschka won 13 fights in a row, at the end of September 1961 he  suffered his first defeat in the duel with the Algerian Abderamane Faradji in Berlin . In early December 1962, Goschka was given the opportunity to fight for the title  against German lightweight champion Conny Rudhof at an event in Hamburg's Ernst-Merck-Halle . In the run-up to the duel, Rudhof was classified as the “more versatile boxer man” of the two. According to the Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper, Goschka, who was looking for a “grandiose chance”, lost the fight, although he knocked Rudhof down twice. In the eleventh round, Rudhof was clear as the winner by breaking off.

Counter-boxing and his punching power were among Goschka's strengths. In September 1963 he fought against Hans-Peter Schulz in Hamburg for the German championship title in the then new weight class junior lightweight. Although Goschka's preparation for the fight was short, he won by knockout in the fourth round and became the first German champion in the weight class, also known as super featherweight. Goschka's last fight took place in April 1964, the Hamburg-based champion competed as the German lightweight champion, but lost in Oldenburg to Karl Furcht  from Aachen . After Goschka went down in the sixth round, his trainer Hanne Wichmann threw in the towel as a sign of the task at hand. Goschka was the owner of the Lange Theke pub in the St. Pauli district of Hamburg .

In 2007 Goschka appeared in the Spiegel TV report Der Penny-Markt on the Reeperbahn .
