A stunning model and businesswoman is taking to ring as she looks to become a world champion after swapping the catwalk for the sweet science
A stunning model dubbed the ‘world’s sexiest boxer’ is about to begin her quest to become a world champion. Tatjana Genrich, a former Miss Germany, makes her professional debut against Hungary’s Andrea Hajnal in her home city of Magdeburg on Saturday night.
It’s an eye-opening career move for the 33-year-old bombshell, who is a successful model and businesswoman. However, she is far from a boxing novice.
She turned to the sweet science as a teenager after being bullied at school, winning multiple state championships in Saxony-Anhalt before hanging up her gloves at 18 to focus on her modelling career.

Genrich has appeared in numerous adverts, including one for a perfume brand where she sits naked on a rock with side-boob on show (see below). She boasts almost 50,000 followers on Instagram, largely thanks to a stream of eye-popping shots of her on modelling shoots and in swimwear, which has seen her branded by many as the ‘world’s sexiest boxer.’
Her main job involves running a modelling agency with around 80 clients and providing ring girls for boxing events. On Saturday, she will be the star attraction when she takes on Hajnal.
Genrich hopes it is the first step on the road to world championship glory. She told Bild: “From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a world champion.
“Of course, professional boxing is a whole different level. But I have no doubt that it’s the right step. I felt a lot of pain during sparring but it had to be done. My ambition and willpower are very strong.
“I still need to lose a kilo but otherwise, I’m in top form. The excitement is building and my coach has prepared me very well.”
Genrich is trained by Dirk Dzemski, who said: “She has learned a lot and shown a great thirst for knowledge.
“Sometimes she trained to the point of perfectionism. She should just fight the match properly and then the journey will continue.”
Genrich will become the face of the burgeoning SES stable, a Magdeburg-based promotion known for its support of women’s boxing. SES promoter Ulf Steinforth said: “Tatjana, with her personality and looks, has all the right qualities to become a great role model in women’s boxing. I have complete faith in her.”
Genrich, who won the Miss Germany beauty pageant in 2022, admits she knows little about her opponent, saying: “We hardly found any video footage of her. I’m not thinking about it too much. I just want to do my own thing.”
