==Boxing Career==
[[file:Sturm7thDec.jpg|right|thumb|225 px]]
At the young age of eleven, Felix Sturm discovered his passion for the sport of boxing. Born in Leverkusen, Germany, he had success early on when he became the Junior European Champion in 1997. Three years later, the 21-years old amateur star represented Germany at the [[Olympic Games]] in Sydney and lost a razor thin decision to Bronze Medal winner and future Middleweight World Champion [[Jermain Taylor]]. Just a few months after the Olympic Games, Sturm decided to turn pro and won his professional debut on January 27, 2001.

At the end of his first year as a professional prize fighter – fighting under the banner of [[Universum Box-Promotion]] – Felix Sturm had a perfect record of 10-0. In 2003, Sturm seized the moment when he replaced his stable mate [[Bert Schenk]] on short notice to challenge [[WBO]] middleweight champion [[Hector Javier Velazco]] in Berlin, Germany. Boxing beautifully, Sturm took the decision and the WBO belt. A new champion was born.

In June 2004, Sturm took the next step and became an instant star when he faced boxing legend and multiple-time world champion [[Oscar De La Hoya]] in Las Vegas. Sturm lost his belt via U.D. in a close fight, but archived international recognition.

Sturm fought back and secured his second world title when he defeated hard-punching [[WBA]] champion [[Maselino Masoe]] in March 2006. The first title defense ended in disappointment as Sturm lost an upset TKO to the experienced Spaniard [[Javier Castillejo]]. Only nine months later, however, the German fighter clearly outpointed Castillejo in their rematch to capture his third middleweight crown.

In 2010, Sturm parted way with Universum Box-Promotion and founded [[Sturm Box-Promotion]]. Now promoting himself, he came back on September 4, 2010, along with his new trainer [[Fritz Sdunek]], in Cologne, Germany, against the hard-hitting [[Giovanni Lorenzo]] to retain his WBA crown via a one-sided unanimous decision.

Sturm defeated journeyman [[Ronald Hearns]] by TKO in his next fight, before scoring a controversial decision win against Irishman [[Matthew Macklin]] in June 2011 a fight which most observers had Macklin winning. In December of that year, he fought to a draw with unbeaten [[Martin Murray]].

In April 2012, he gave one of his career-best performances when he thoroughly dominated and stopped former world champion [[Sebastian Zbik]] in a domestic battle in front of 20.000 fans at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne.

Five months later, he fought Australian [[IBF]] champion [[Daniel Geale]] in a WBA/IBF middleweight title unification in Oberhausen, Germany. After a intense battle over twelve rounds, two of the three judges scored the fight for Geale, making him the winner by split decision.

Eager to get a rematch, Sturm took on veteran [[Sam Soliman]] in an IBF title eliminator early in 2013. He lost a clear decision to Soliman which was later overturned to a No Contest when Soliman was found guilty of doping. The IBF set up another elimination bout for Sturm, this time with the journeyman [[Predrag Radosevic]], the highest ranked contender by the IBF at that time. Sturm absolutely destroyed Radosevic in July 2013 in Dortmund, Germany, dropping him three times en route to a fourth round TKO win.

Now the mandatory challenger for the IBF, Sturm challenged [[Darren Barker]] from Great Britian, who defeated Geale in barnburner in Atlantic City in August 2013, in front of a packed house at the Porsche Arena in Stuttgart, Germany, on December 7, 2013. Barker got injured during the 2 round so Sturm captured the IBF world title and become Germany’s first and only four-time professional world boxing champion.

Felix Sturm has an professional record consisting of 39 wins with 18 of them by way of knockout, three defeats, two draws and one No Contest.
