After suffering his first professional loss, Simon Zachenhuber makes a comeback with a convincing TKO victory over Armin Ajrulai.
Simon Zachenhuber has provided the perfect response to the first setback of his professional career. At the GBS FightClub in Cologne, the German super middleweight celebrated a commanding fourth-round TKO victory over Armin Ajrulai, putting him back on the winning track. Following his controversial loss to Pawel August in April, the 27-year-old was under close scrutiny. Zachenhuber remained focused throughout the main event and controlled the action for long stretches. It was all over after four rounds—an important victory for the rising star.
Afterward, Zachenhuber expressed his relief and gave special thanks to his fans: “After my loss, I promised to come back stronger. A win after the 4th round—it feels good to be back on the winning side.” He also paid great respect to his opponent: “Thanks for the fight, and respect for the courage to take on this challenge. If there were more boxers like you—who take risks and don’t just want to protect their record—German boxing wouldn’t be where it is today.” With this victory, Zachenhuber is now looking ahead again. His goal remains the same: to make his way back to the top of the international scene. “Now we’re going for the top again,” the Bavarian announced confidently.
