Piergiulio Ruhe is one of the emerging names in Germany’s boxing scene. At just 24, he has proved why he is the best name among the youth. The young man chose the field despite having his own family business. He made his professional debut in boxing on May 26, 2018. Out of 8 fights, he has won 7 fights.

Ruhe has one dream to have a fight at the world championship in Las Vegas, USA. With a secondary school certificate, he has completed vocational training in construction mechanics. His family business, ‘WARU – Wertvolles Aus Aluminium’ is well-established; but he chose a completely different path. “It would have made me lethargic. I don’t like things which come easier in life.

Spoonfeeding is what I was not made for and boxing has indeed made me stronger”, shares Piergiulio talking about not joining his family business.
