Bremerhaven box talents shine in the fishing port!

On July 13, 2025, an exciting open-air box event took place in the fishing port of Bremerhaven, which captivated the audience. Around 60 athletes competed against each other in the ring, and especially the young boxers were able to conquer the hearts of the approximately 500 spectators present. Among the participants were Nazar Yermash and Ali Zaher from the Weser Boxring Bremerhaven, who impressively demonstrated their skills. According to Sportschau it was a day full of excitement and sporting top performance.

Nazar Yermash, who comes from Ukraine, had started an impressive boxing career at a young age. With his coach Mohammed Zaher at his side, he reached the final in the U18 age and weight class up to 60 kg and was able to prevail against an opponent from Kiel. After only two years in boxing, Yermash already has a fabulous record of 12 wins from 13 fights. His goal is to take part in the German U18 championship in Cologne in November. Sport was a way for him to refuel and protect others - a remarkable motivation!

boxing as a new passion

Ali Zaher also celebrated a triumph at the event. Although his opponent did not compete in the final, his path to boxing was just as impressive. The 19-year-old switched from football to boxing at the end of 2024 and now trains seven days a week, and twice as much during the holidays. Zaher, son of the coach Mohammed Zaher, strives for the title of German champion and, despite his nervousness, focuses on his sporting goals. Like his father, who hopes that Ali also not neglected his school duties, is motivated and ambitious.

The event was organized by Marco Blome, who has been active at the Weser Box ring for 30 years. His task included the planning, structure and moderation of the festival. Blome is committed to promoting the enthusiasm for boxing, especially in the youth. He clears up with the cliché about beginners and creates conditions that guarantee a fair competition in the ring.
