Granit Stein

Bio

Granit Stein is an aggressive, all-action German light heavyweight who now owns the biggest scalp of his career — a split-decision win over the great Felix Sturm at the Porsche-Arena in Stuttgart in July 2026, in the five-time world champion's farewell fight.

Beating a legend in his leaving do is a thankless task — the crowd wants the fairytale, and the visitor is cast as the villain before the first bell. Fair play to Stein: he came in off a defeat, pushed the pace all night, and won the rounds that mattered. That takes a proper set of shoulders.

At 21-2-1 with respectable pop, Stein has bought himself a platform. The step up from beating a 47-year-old master to mixing with the division's live bodies is a big one — but he has momentum, a marketable win, and the home crowds German boxing does so well. Let's see what he does with it.
