GREAT SUCCESSES IN THE RING
Robert Stieglitz from Magdeburg brought world and European championship titles to the City of Otto and is one of the most successful German professional boxers ever.
Robert Stieglitz moved to Magdeburg to live with his uncle at a young age and started boxing as an amateur for 1st Boxing Club Magdeburg. His future promoter, Ulf Steinforth, recognized his talent, nurtured it, and turned Stieglitz into a professional boxer. What followed was a success story made in Magdeburg. Robert Stieglitz finally ended his career after 57 professional fights. In 2018, he founded the Stieglitz Boxing Academy near the city of Otto to attract children and young people to boxing.

The 28-year-old defeated defending champion Karoly Balzsay in Budapest with a tactical display, dethroning him with a technical knockout in the eleventh round. This resulted in the Magdeburg native winning the WBO super middleweight world championship in 2009/10, which was a complete surprise. “I was an underdog, I took it all a bit less serious,” said Stieglitz after his victory, “I think the other side didn’t take me seriously either.”
