Maske über 60. Geburtstag: «Respektvoll, nicht ängstlich»

maske über 60. geburtstag: «respektvoll, nicht ängstlich»

Gentleman-Boxer Henry Maske wird 60.

Henry Maske nimmt das Altern gelassen hin. «Ich habe nicht das Empfinden, dass ich 60 werde. Die 50er waren nichts Unangenehmes. Ich bin respektvoll, aber nicht ängstlich», sagte der ehemalige Box-Weltmeister der Deutschen Presse-Agentur vor seinem 60. Geburtstag am 6. Januar.

Max Schmeling, der vor mehr als 90 Jahren deutscher Weltmeister im Schwergewicht wurde, dient Maske als Vorbild. «Ich orientiere mich an Leuten über 60, die mich beeindruckten. Max Schmeling war so einer, ein wunderbarer Mensch», sagte Maske.

In den 1990er-Jahren hatte der gebürtige Brandenburger im wiedervereinigten Deutschland einen Box-Boom ausgelöst. 1993 bezwang der Halbschwergewichtler den US-Amerikaner Charles Williams und sicherte sich den WM-Titel des Verbands IBF – mehr als drei Jahre verteidigte er den Gürtel erfolgreich.

Vor zehn Jahren feierte Maske den runden Ehrentag im Europa-Park Rust bei Freiburg mit 300 Gästen. Das sieht nun anders aus. «Zum 60. wird der Kreis deutlich kleiner, jedoch nicht weniger angenehm», sagt der frühere Weltmeister.
