Regina Halmich - A boxing legend returns to her roots

Regina Halmich in "Back to the Roots" - a cult figure of German boxing

Regina Halmich, the undisputed box queen, returns to the screen in "Back to the Roots". On September 6, 2024 at 9 p.m., the SWR radiates the documentation, which will be available in the ARD Mediathek from September 12th. The film accompanies Halmich during her preparations in Berlin for her upcoming fight against TV presenter Stefan Raab. But the documentary goes beyond the boxing ring and shows how Regina Halmich became the strong woman she is today.

Regina Halmich is a real legend in women's boxing. She lost only one of her 48 World Cup fights. Even after 17 years since her official career end, she has lost none of her exceptional position. On the contrary, it contributed to the fact that women are also successful in Germany in Germany. The documentary shows how Regina Halmich, with an iron discipline and irrepressible ambition, still rises against Stefan Raab in the ring to prove that it is still at the forefront.

The film "Back to the Roots" takes the audience on a trip to Regina Halmich's hometown Karlsruhe. There she meets her old companions, starting with her parents. Her father Günter has always believed in her and still takes care of her finances today. Her mother, on the other hand, could never bear to see her daughter when boxing, out of fear for her security. The documentary also shows Regina Halmich's best friend, the rocking singer Doro Pesch, with whom she shared memories of her glorious career in the DM Arena.

The upcoming fight against Stefan Raab is not only another milestone in Halmich's career, but also a media spectacle. The question is whether Halmich breaks his nose again this time, as with her previous encounters. The tension is large and the expectations are high.

"Back to the Roots" is an impressive documentation about the outstanding career of Regina Halmich and her tireless commitment to women's boxing. She has shown that you can achieve great success with willpower, talent and hard work. The documentation is an inspiring portrait of an extraordinary woman who has shaped the boxing world.
