Professional career

Tajbert has been under contract with the Hamburg professional boxing stable Spotlight Boxing since November 2005 , he was trained by Magomed Schaburow . He made his professional debut on December 3, 2005 in Magdeburg with a knockout victory against Robert Zsemberi from Slovenia.

His first better-known opponent was the 38-year-old former Bulgarian amateur world champion Kirkor Kirkorow in December 2006 , whom he defeated on points over six rounds. In the Hamburg sports hall he boxed on February 29, 2008 against the Spaniard Jesús García Escalona for the EBU -EU championship title. The fight lasted twelve rounds and earned Tajbert his first professional boxing title. On July 5, 2008, he defended the title with a point win against the Portuguese Antonio João Bento in the Gerry Weber Stadium in Halle (Westphalia) .

Around three years after his professional debut, Tajbert boxed on December 5, 2008 against the Belarusian Sjarhej Guljakjewitsch in Halle (Saale) for the title of EBU European Champion and clearly lost on points. After an injury break in the spring of 2009, he reported back with a win against Rudy Encarnacion in Oberhausen .

On November 22, 2009 Vitali Tajbert got the opportunity to box against the Mexican Humberto Mauro Gutiérrez for the interim world title of the World Boxing Council (WBC). He defeated Gutiérrez, who had previously defeated Tajbert's conqueror Guljakjewitsch, in the Kiel Sparkasse Arena with the points scores 116: 112, 116: 112 and 116: 113. Tajbert should then have boxed against the WBC world champion Humberto Soto from Mexico. However, since Soto rose to the lightweight category and won the WBC title in this weight class on March 13, 2010, this encounter did not occur. Tajbert was then named WBC super featherweight world champion on March 18, 2010 without a fight and thus also the first German boxer to win a world title in professional boxing in this weight class.

Tajbert defended his first World Cup title on May 22, 2010 in Rostock against Héctor Velázquez from Mexico . Already in the second lap, Tajbert suffered a deep laceration over his left eye from a headbutt from the Mexican in the second lap. Tajbert remained very good in the fight despite the impairment and made his points undeterred until referee Richard James Davis stopped the fight in the ninth round due to this injury. At this point Tajbert was 87:83, 88:82, 88:32 clearly ahead of his opponent and thus defended his title as WBC world champion on points.

The next title defense Tajbert denied on November 25, 2010 in Nagoya against the Japanese Takahiro Aō . In the third round he had to accept the first precipitation of his career. However, Tajbert had injured his right hand in the second round and was only able to use it to a limited extent. He then lost his world title unanimously on points to Aō. In March 2012 he separated from his long-time trainer Magomed Schaburow and switched to Michael Timm .

On March 16, 2005, he received the Silver Laurel Leaf for his sporting success.

Private

In 1992 he came with his family as a late repatriate to Germany / Stuttgart , where Vitali attended the Armeisenberg School and then the Hohenstein School. After graduating from school in the summer of 1998, he began training as a printer and finished it as one of the best in his class with a degree. Vitali then did his military service and was until the end of 2005 in the Bundeswehr - sports promotion group Bruchsal active.

In December 2009, Tajbert beat a 23-year-old in a dispute in a Stuttgart discotheque. The victim suffered life-threatening head injuries, was in a coma for several days and had to be hospitalized for months. After paying compensation for pain and suffering , the victim later withdrew a complaint, whereupon the public prosecutor applied for a penalty order in July 2010 for a suspended prison sentence and was issued by the Stuttgart District Court.
