Tina Rupprecht Prepares for Historic Boxing Title Unification Fight

The German boxer and part-time teacher aims to become the first in her country to hold all four major world titles in the atomweight division this Saturday in Potsdam.

• Tina Rupprecht, already a holder of three major world titles (WBC, WBO, WBA) and 'The Ring' belt, will face Sumire Yamanaka for the IBF title on Saturday evening in Potsdam.
• If victorious, Rupprecht will become the first German boxer, male or female, to simultaneously hold all four major world championship belts.
• Rupprecht balances her professional boxing career with her role as a part-time sports teacher at a Bavarian secondary school, where she is admired by her students.
• Her coach, Alexander Haan, who has trained her since her teenage years, describes her as a role model for young athletes, particularly girls, due to her dedication and perseverance.
• Rupprecht has won 14 of her 16 professional fights and is determined to secure her place in boxing history during this highly anticipated unification bout.
