Boxing club Fulda between success and pressing lack of space!

Boxing club Fulda between success and pressing lack of space!

Fulda, Deutschland - The boxing lives in Fulda! The box club Fulda, founded in 1997, has developed into a fixture in the Hessian sports scene in recent years. With around 20 members between the ages of 14 and 50, the community is both young and experienced. Coach Ogün Özalp has been in office for two years and has taken over the coaching of his uncle Kemal Sutkaynatan. Due to the constant offspring and the engagements on competitions, the club makes good business in promoting young talents.

The technology is the be -all and end -all when boxing. That is why the training takes place four times a week, with a clear focus on technology improvement and physical fitness. There are currently eleven boxers among the active people who regularly take part in tournaments. A highlight is already emerging: Elida Deniz Özalp is preparing intensively for the European Fusion Cup in Kaufbeuren. A perfect example of the vigor and the ambition that the members carry in the rings.

a place for winners

Despite the success, the club is confronted with a pressing challenge. The current training facility in the cleverfit studio is only temporary. Previously, due to lack of space, the boxing club was forced to give up its premises to the Jewish community. The search for permanent training rooms could determine the future of the club. A successful Hessen Championship in September will be the next sporting goal and could give the club new momentum.

In the past two years, the Boxclub Fulda has participated in a total of 16 events and can win almost all fights. This success record speaks volumes about the commitment and the talent that is in the club. But the hope of better training conditions remains: a long -term place could make the difference for emerging talents.

boxing in Germany: a long way

competition and signposts are also a steady topic for boxing in Germany. The development of the amateur boxing in Germany goes back to the foundation of the German Reich Association for Amateur Boxes (DRFAB) in 1920 when the first German championships took place. In the following decades, boxing experienced heights and depths, especially under the National Socialist rule, when the organization was renamed and subordinate to the Reich Service Office. This ultimately led to the foundation of the German Amateur Box Association (DABV) in 1949.

The integration of boxing into the school system and the promotion by the association contributed to the fact that numerous boxers from Germany achieved success in international competitions - be it at the Olympic Games or World Championships. In recent years, the DABV has produced new talents that shine not only in the ring, but also put sportiness in the foreground.

summarized can be said: The box club Fulda is on the ground, whereby the search for a permanent place for training might be able to open the next chapter of the success story. On the coming September we can look forward to the Hessen Championship and whether the boxers from Fulda will continue to mix up the ranks.
