The Boxer Axel Schulz – A German Heavyweight Legend
Axel Schulz, born on November 9, 1968, in Bad Saarow, is one of the most well-known German heavyweight boxers of the 1990s. He began his professional career in 1990 and fought for 16 years, recording 33 bouts – 26 wins, 5 losses, and 1 draw.
He gained international recognition with his legendary bout against George Foreman on April 22, 1995. Schulz narrowly lost by a controversial decision, which sparked global debate. Further title fights against Francois Botha and Michael Moorer followed, but a world championship title remained just out of reach.
Despite this, Axel Schulz became a fan favorite in Germany thanks to his charm, determination, and authentic personality.

A Planned Anniversary Event at the GERMENS Store
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Axel Schulz’s unforgettable fight against George Foreman, we planned a special event at the GERMENS store. For this occasion, we had an exclusive drawing made and designed a limited shirt collection to honor this historic moment in boxing history.
One of the highlights of this collection is the GERMENS long-sleeved shirt FOREMAN VS SCHULZ – a wearable tribute to the legendary 1995 bout that captivated millions.
Unfortunately, the event had to be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, the idea remains alive – a heartfelt tribute to a great athlete and a moment that continues to inspire boxing fans around the world.
What Axel Schulz Does Today – “Axel Grills”
After retiring from boxing, Axel Schulz discovered a new passion: grilling. Under the name “Axel grillt”, he offers BBQ events for companies and private clients – combining great food with his trademark humor and charisma.
Whether as a boxing icon, GERMENS shirt wearer, or entertainer at the grill – Axel Schulz remains a true original who continues to inspire.
