Celebrity quake in the boxing ring! Ex-kicker Mario Haas, Sturm’s former bomber from the service, affects the industrial boxes in the Graz-Liebenau Ice Rink. Before our Plus subscribers (fast safe offer here!) Get the spectacle live on Krone. On April 26 from 7 pm we visited a training session of the 50-year career.
“Then he comes, the bomber,” can be heard on the sports field of the Askö Murfeld. We immediately look forward to the look. Mario Haas even enters the system via the Iron Door and approaches us directly! Dressed in black. And with a black sports bag. Only that there are no football boots like before – but training utensils for boxing.
Training in the clubhouse
Matte instead of the lawn is the order of the day, we welcome the former team striker and follow him to the top floor of the clubhouse. The Fight Club Graz is there, Haas is said three to four times a week by coach Martin Haag for his fight on 26 April.
How did he get into the industrial boxes? “At first I was already skeptical,” the ex-kicker admits before he warms up. “But I quickly convinced myself, I also want to try something new. It’s also about the charity because families are supported with income.” A sweater from the storm legend is also auctioned.
Thousands press their fingers crossed
A big fan supplement by his “Black” Heart Club, for which he played 550 games, is certainly on the Fight evening. In any case, around 4,000 expected visitors on the ice rink were not intimidating for someone like him who once ran for 90,000 spectators. It can be different for the teacher Elmar Zach, his opponent.
However, the purpose of the event is not “happy punches”, not crashing knockouts that are difficult to do with the heavy, better quilted gloves. The security of the amateur boxers, who are trained under professional guidance for several months, has a top priority. Instead, Haas is also about offering a great show for more than 3×2 minutes. “We want to inspire fans, show what you can learn in a short time!”
To what extent Haas finds her way around boxing. “Learning to coordinate and technology is a challenge. It also takes courage to beat someone else. And you must first be afraid of being defeated.” How does his family deal with Mario’s lateral entry? “My children are happy, my wife asked if I had a bird,” winked hare, who “madly” is not strange. He also regularly interferes with the Grazathlon, an obstacle run through the city.
Cheer with the “Kroon” live
If you want to look through the ring rings on April 26 in the fight of the styric bomber, you can do that with the “Kroon”! We show the boxing gala, in which “teenagers become mother” father Alex Ettinger or restaurant owner Niklas stoppers from the Römerhof, in the live stream for all Plus subscribers from 7 p.m. In addition, a competition runs until Wednesday (9 am), in which we give away 5×2 tickets for the spectacle on site among all “krone” users.
