Sarah Scheurich: Boxing world champion from Parchim makes history!

In a night full of emotions, 26-year-old Sarah Scheurich from Ludwigslust-Parchim made history on St. Nicholas Eve in Göppingen. She now stands beaming in the ring as the new IBF light heavyweight world boxing champion after defeating reigning champion Lani Daniels of New Zealand with a clear decision on points after ten thrilling rounds. The judges scored the fight 97:93, 97:93 and 98:92 for the German - a triumph that gave her career a huge boost. The moment of happiness that came over her brought tears of joy to the eyes of the new world champion. “I can't quite believe it all yet,” she admitted after the fight that made her world championship dream come true.

Sarah Scheurich started boxing when she was five years old. Over the years she has worked hard and never lost sight of her goal of one day winning the title. Her path led her to numerous successes in the amateur sector, including the European runner-up title in the middleweight division in 2014 and several German championships in the light heavyweight division. She has had a perfect record as a professional since 2022, as she has not lost any of her fights to date and has thus made a name for herself in the boxing scene. She receives her inspiration and training at Ruhe Boxing in Rinteln, where she has been able to continually develop.

A role model for the region

Sarah Scheurich is not only active in the ring. She is also involved in social projects outside of boxing and helps to promote young talent. Their successes inspire many young boxers in the region. It is clear that her achievements are of great importance not only for herself, but also for boxing in Germany. While the fight in Göppingen was the sporting highlight of her career, the interest in her career shows how important such role models are for promoting young talent.

The WIBF boxing world champion Dilar Kisikyol from Hamburg, who also does remarkable work, shines in a similar light. As the women and inclusion representative of the Hamburg Amateur Boxing Association, she advances social projects that focus on inclusion and empowerment. Through her initiatives, such as the Parkinson's group that she founded, she shows that boxing goes far beyond competition and also reduces social fears. The boxing scene in Germany not only has female fighters, but also pioneers who work tirelessly for the common good, as Boxen1 reports.

The successes of Sarah Scheurich and Dilar Kisikyol demonstrate that boxing is strong in Germany and can also assume social responsibility. With talented athletes using their platform to do good, it is hoped that future generations will be inspired to achieve great things both in the ring and in life. The sport of boxing has taken on a new shine thanks to these two women.
