boxing in austria, more underground than figure skating

If you compare the austrian boxing scene to any other country in europe you will find that luxemburg probably has a bigger following than here.

Since good old Edip (R.I.P), Hansi Orsolic, oh and of course the infamous Gotthald Hinteregger (the cougar) noone has been near enough succesfull.

Times might be about to change,…. “Marcos Nader” a very talented lad has just been signed to “Sauerland Box Promotions” in Germany, which could be a big move for austrian boxing. He won his first pro fight 2 weeks ago, so things are looking good.

With a bit of success boxing might attract the masses again like back in the days of good old hansi (who now works at the ORF serving coffee and carrying cables).

its all on you Marcos Nader

oh and by the way, as far as I know the president of the austrian boxing comitee is back in jail for procuration and drug trafficking
