Bischofshofener Martial Arts star Elias Erber: On the way to the professional!

Bischofshofen, Österreich - Elias Erber, the 22-year-old MMA amateur fighter from Bischofshofen, achieved remarkable success at the European Championship in Serbia. After an impressive performance in which he fought through three victories, he secured the silver medal in the feather weight category (up to 65.8 kg). He achieved his impressive victories through so -called “Rear Naked Chokes” against athletes from Switzerland, France and Portugal before he was defeated by the strong Ukrainian Milan Nikolenko in the final. As a highlight of his previous amateur career, in which he has already become world and European champions, this success is perceived as a springboard to the professional league, like Meindezirk.at reported.

a life for sport

Elias Erber has been active in MMA sports since the age of five and emphasizes that this includes far more than just fighting. "You have to master five to six sports really well," he explains. In order to be successful in this extremely demanding sport, Elias trains daily, often under challenging conditions as with steep mountain runs. His dedication is so great that he wears the nickname "No Time" because he has little free time for other activities. Now he wants to enter the professional business, supported by his father Engelbert, an experienced judoka. "I trust him," he says optimistically and confirms that faith and self -confidence are essential components of his success, such as Salzburg.ORF.at added.

To realize his dream, Elias has paused his studies in Graz to completely devote himself to his career. Despite the challenges that an amateur fighter brings without prize money, his goal remains clear: the best professional in the world. After training, Eisbades are part of his routine, because he is determined to counter all challenges with courage and determination and to realize his great ambitions.
