Regina Halmich
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Regina Halmich, born on November 22, 1976, is a popular female boxer from Germany.

Halmich, alongside Deirdre Gogarty of Ireland and Michelle Sutcliffe of England among others, has helped popularize female boxing in Europe. She has also become a sex symbol and television personality in her native country.

Halmich was German champion as an amateur in 1992, 1993 and 1994, a year in which she also earned the European title.

As a professional, Halmich has boxed in the Jr. Flyweight, Flyweight, Jr. Bantamweight, Bantamweight and Featherweight divisions. Halmich has been the WIBF's world champion at the Jr. Flyweight, Flyweight and Featherweight division.

Halmich has defeated several quality boxers along her career. She defended her Flyweight title with success against Delia Gonzalez, Yvonne Caples and numerous others, once only with a draw against Elena Reid. She also faced Daisy Lang, against whom she won in a fight for the vacant IWBF world Super Flyweight title.

In addition to her boxing career, Halmich has branched out into the world of business as well, as she became one of the first women boxers to have her own line of cosmetics. She has posed as a model for some German magazines and websites. In 2003 she also has posed nude for the German version of the Playboy magazine.

Halmich became famous on German television with a promotional fight against German TV host Stefan Raab, in his show TV Total. The fight was rather chaotic, the referee intended to end it more than once because he felt that Stefan Raab's health was in danger, but show host Raab kept convincing him to continue the fight. Although Halmich broke Stefan Raab's nose during the fight, he at least managed to go the distance with her.

Halmich made her professional debut on March 4, 1994, in her hometown of Karlsruhe, defeating Fienie Klee of the Netherlands. She is not a stranger to American boxing fans, and, in 1996, American boxing publication Ring Magazine published the first of a number of articles about her in that magazine.

On January 15, 2005, Halmich defeated Marylin Hernandez by a ten round unanimous decision defending the world Flyweight title. On April 16, 2005 she also defeated Hollie Dunaway in ten rounds defending her title. In her 50th professional fight, she has defended the title against Maria Jesus Rosa from Spain. She now holds the title for more than ten years. In December 2005 she won the rematch against Elena Reid.

On September 9, 2006 Halmich won her 53rd pro fight, defeating Ria Ramnarine of Trinidad and Tobago by TKO in the sixth round. Her pro boxing record now stands at 52 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw.

Halmich faced Reka Krempf of Hungary on January 13, 2007 at Halle, Germany's Brandberg Arena, defeating her by unanimous decision for the 44th successful title defense.
