Felix Sturm makes a convincing comeback

Five years break from the fight are enough: Former boxing world champion Felix Sturm reports victoriously back in the ring. In the build-up battle he lets Timo Rost feel his superiority.

Professional boxer Felix Sturm has made a successful comeback. Almost five years after his last fight, the 41-year-old ex-world champion defeated the twelve-year-old Timo Rost from Düsseldorf unanimously on points (110: 90, 99:91, 100: 93) in the Hamburg Universum Gym.

Both boxers had agreed on an upper weight limit of 77.5 kilograms. The limit is between super middle and light heavyweight. Sturm was clearly superior to his overwhelmed rival. The man from Düsseldorf was not a real definition of his position. In Sturm's match record there are now 41 wins in 50 professional fights. Rost suffered the first defeat in the 13th fight, two duels ended in a draw.

Sturm can and wants to push his comeback further, there is already speculation about fights against Arthur Abraham and Oscar de la Hoya. However, the German judiciary could stop him. Sturm spent eight months in custody and was sentenced to three years in prison for tax evasion and bodily harm. The verdict is not yet legally binding. Sturm is currently free on bail and has appealed for an appeal.
