Hail in the ring: Charity boxing for disadvantaged young people in Pforzheim!

CDU top candidate Manuel Hagel will take part in a charity boxing event in Pforzheim on November 12, 2025, which is organized by Uwe Hück. The event will take place in a cinema that will be converted to accommodate around 500 guests. The proceeds from the event will be donated to the Hücks Learning Foundation, which is committed to supporting disadvantaged young people. Hagel has emphasized that he will be there as a spectator and will want to cheer on the fighters while bringing his sports-loving side to the forefront.

The motto of Uwe Hück's charity projects is “Blue spots for social purposes”. Hück, who has experience in boxing himself, for example against ex-professional Francois Botha, emphasizes the need for courage and commitment in politics. The event will also be accompanied by other attractions, including appearances by the magician Thorsten Strotmann and unpublished Hollywood stars.

The social purpose in focus

Hagel supports Hück's initiative because education and equal opportunities for young people also play an important role in his political agenda. This charity event offers the opportunity not only to focus on sporting achievements, but also to make a positive social contribution. The proceeds flow directly into projects that benefit disadvantaged young people, making the event a special highlight.

While speculation continues about Hagel's possible involvement in the boxing ring, he remains steadfast in his position that his primary interest lies in cheering and supporting the fighters. This approach could turn out to be a wise decision to also cater to politically interested viewers.

Sport and politics combined

Manuel Hagel is considered a sports enthusiast; He jogs regularly and used to actively play football. This sporting passion could also be incorporated into the charity event, creating a connection between sport and political commitment. Through this initiative, Uwe Hück and Hagel make it clear that they not only care about political issues, but also take on social responsibility and emphasize the value of community.
