Professional boxer Uwel Hernandez has taken the next big step.

Erding / Munich - Uwel "Hector" Hernandez throws up his arms and lets out a cheer.

The 29-year-old Erdinger won the World Boxing Federation (WBF) middleweight title up to 72.5 kg against the 36-year-old Esten Pavel Semjonov at the Circus Krone in Munich on Saturday evening.

After ten dramatic and tough rounds, the unanimous victory on points was certain.

"That was my toughest fight so far," said a pumped Hernandez after the fight. "That was a ring battle - really awesome - and I learned a lot." In his 12th professional fight, the 29-year-old met a veteran who has already performed more than 40 times. “That was a tough dog that had never been knocked out in his career and had already fought against big opponents,” says Hernandez. "It was really difficult for me to get into the fight at the beginning, but thank God it went well."

The Erdinger praises the Estonian as a "ring fox who was not only physically but also mentally very strong".

In terms of the way they box, both are very similar, says Hernandez, and so every round was exciting.

“His style is like mine - very aggressive.

And everyone could have knocked out the other at any second. "

This is the opinion of Peter Lutzny, Hernandez's former Erdinger kickboxing coach.

"Uwel moved very well, I really liked that," he analyzes.

"Semjonov also constantly put pressure on him, Uwel always evaded well and kept moving." For Lutzny this was the key to success, "because if he had stayed too long it could have been very uncomfortable for Uwel".

From the first minute you saw that the Estonian was “not a walk-in”, emphasizes the coach, who praises his former protégé: “Uwel boxed cleverly, he had the clearer hits and deserved the win.

Hats off to his great performance. ”The judges agreed after ten rounds.

Their rating was 97:91, 97:91, 96:92, although relatively tight, but unanimous.

The Erdinger can classify the fact that the WBF is one of the smaller boxing associations.

“This title is always a milestone on the way to the top,” says Lutzny.

"Uwel has drawn attention to himself, and if he continues like this, then he can box with the big associations." That is how Hernandez sees it, who is squinting towards the IBO and WBA.

"Let's see what happens next," says Erdinger and promises: "I'll stay tuned."
