Former boxing world champion Regina Halmich looks at her third boxing match against Stefan Raab with respect. “The biggest mistake would be to underestimate him,” said the 47-year-old from Karlsruhe in an interview with the radio station Hit Radio FFH.
“He has trained intensively, had several coaches, and has trained almost daily,” the former professional boxer continued about the 57-year-old. Halmich has no idea how Raab will present himself to her. “He is counting on that surprise effect.”
