After nine years of TV abstinence, Stefan Raab returned to television on Saturday evening – and fitter than ever before. This is his secret to losing weight.
On Saturday evening, Stefan Raab stepped back into the ring. 17 years after his second fight against former boxing world champion Regina Halmich, the presenter, who actually retired from television in 2015, tried his luck for the third time. Read more about it here.
At the end of March, Stefan Raab had already published a video on Instagram that suggested that the 57-year-old would return to television. Half a year later, the time had come. On Saturday evening, RTL showed the third fight between Stefan Raab and Regina Halmich.
The show started at 8:15 p.m., but the former “TV Total” host did not appear on TV for two hours. Shortly after 10 p.m., Stefan Raab took the stage – and for the first time in nine years, fans saw the presenter again.
The TV star has changed. His hair is grey, his body is in shape. Stefan Raab descended the stairs visibly slimmer and, at 57, was in top shape. Nevertheless, he had to admit defeat in the fight against Regina Halmich. His fitness began to deteriorate after the first round.
In the subsequent press conference, he spoke about his fitness routine. He started training six months ago – alone, without help. “I watched videos on the Internet,” said Raab. For the first few months, he “only trained on the bag.” “I bought a bag – 45 kilos – from a boxing supplies store.”
For the last four weeks, Raab has been getting some help. He contacted boxer Nelvie Tiafack via Instagram. The 25-year-old won bronze at the Olympic Games in Paris a few weeks ago. In the past few weeks, he has been taking care of the presenter’s training.
The 57-year-old also changed his diet. “I only ate chicken and salad,” he explained, “and drank water.” As a result, he “lost ten kilos.” He currently weighs 85 kilos. But there is no need to worry about him. Next week he will have gained the weight back. “But I’ve already bought some minced meat for tomorrow morning,” he said with a smile after the fight.
