On December 14, 2024, the Christmas Circus tent in Karlsruhe hosted a very special boxing event: "Boxing in the Ring." Amidst a festively lit circus atmosphere and an enthusiastic audience, top-class fights took place – with a special focus on two outstanding athletes: Sarah Bormann and Daniel Dietz , who were in the ring as brand ambassadors for SAUER SYSTEMS . This unique event was organized by none other than Rainer Gottwald , who, with his experience and flair for unforgettable productions, put on a boxing spectacle of the highest order.
Boxing up close – the special atmosphere of the circus ring
From the moment you entered the tent, tension filled the air. The unique setting, the dim lighting, and the tight rows of spectators created an intensity rarely seen in boxing. Every punch, every movement, was felt up close – you were closer to the action than ever before. The emotions in the ring were transmitted directly to the audience. An arena normally home to wild animals became a stage for boxing at the highest level that evening.
Sarah Bormann triumphs – WBO minimumweight world champion
An absolute highlight of the evening was Sarah Bormann 's title fight. The exceptional athlete, sporting the SAUER SYSTEMS logo on her waistband, competed against Argentinian Jennifer Meza . From the very first bell, Sarah demonstrated why she is one of the best boxers in the world – with impressive technique, speed, and precise combinations, she dominated the action in the ring.
Round after round, she racked up points and gave her opponent little chance. After ten intense rounds, it was official: Sarah Bormann won the WBO minimumweight title and was deservedly crowned world champion. An impressive victory that once again demonstrates why she is the flagship of German women's boxing.
Daniel Dietz – A heavyweight with a future
This evening was also of great importance for Daniel Dietz . The up-and-coming German heavyweight boxer faced a huge opportunity: A victory against Granit Shala would have catapulted him into the world's top 10. The fight was intense and hard-fought—no one gave the other anything.
Daniel demonstrated all his strengths: explosiveness, stamina, and an indomitable will to win. But in the end, the judges narrowly decided in favor of Munich's Shala. Despite this defeat, Daniel remains one of the German heavyweight's brightest hopes. SAUER SYSTEMS stands firmly behind him and is convinced that his time will come. This defeat is just a stop on his way to the top – and we are already looking forward to his next fights and successes.
An evening full of emotions and sporting highlights
"Boxing in the Ring" was more than just a boxing event—it was a spectacular blend of sport, showmanship, and emotion. The unique atmosphere, the proximity to the ring, and the impressive fights made this evening an unforgettable experience. Thanks to the perfect organization by Rainer Gottwald and the strong presence of SAUER SYSTEMS, the event became a true highlight in the German boxing calendar.
We warmly congratulate Sarah Bormann on her well-deserved world title and look forward to Daniel Dietz 's future. One thing is certain: The story of these two fighters is far from over – and SAUER SYSTEMS will continue to accompany them on their journey. 🥊
