Velbert, Germany – A strong showing from the BC Mülheim-Dümpten e.V. Boxing club highlighted a recent event held in Velbert on March 1, 2026, with victories secured by Mohammed Hassan and Junes Guerbouj. The event, focused on Olympic-style boxing, saw three athletes from the club – Mohammed Hassan, Junes Guerbouj, and Hasan Saleh Hasan – compete.
The spotlight shone particularly bright on Mohammed Hassan, who made his debut in Olympic boxing just one day after his older brother, Hamsa Hassan, achieved a successful professional debut. The 14-year-old lightweight faced Daniele Fucci of Oldschool Boxing Pieneta in a spirited contest. According to reports from the event, the three-round bout was fast-paced, with both fighters demonstrating skill and energy. Hassan’s footwork and jab proved particularly effective, allowing him to consistently land punches and ultimately secure a points victory. This marked a successful start to his Olympic boxing career.
Junes Guerbouj likewise delivered a strong performance in the junior lightweight division, defeating Tengiz Mamoyan, a bronze medalist from last year’s German Championships, representing BBC Remscheid. This bout served as a crucial final test for Guerbouj ahead of the North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) Championships, scheduled to take place from March 7th to March 8th, 2026. Guerbouj controlled the fight from the opening bell, utilizing a strong jab and effectively countering Mamoyan’s attacks. He consistently scored with well-timed counterpunches, earning a points victory after three rounds.
While Mohammed and Junes celebrated wins, Hasan Saleh Hasan faced a tougher challenge in the elite lightweight division against Filippos Giakamozis of BC Esse-Steele. Hasan started aggressively, attempting to pressure Giakamozis in close quarters. While the first round was competitive, Hasan reportedly struggled to maintain the pace in the later rounds, ultimately losing the fight on points.
The success of the Dümpten club’s athletes underscores the growing strength of the program. For Mohammed Hassan, this debut represents a promising start, and for Junes Guerbouj, it’s a confidence boost heading into the NRW Championships.
