Amateur career

Gerber was a successful amateur on junior level, winning gold at the 2005 European cadet (U17) championships and bronze in 2006 European Junior championships where he lost to eventual winner Remzi Ozbek. [1] [2]

Professional career

Gerber made his professional debut in 2007.

In 2009 he stopped Marcel Zeller (record 22-4) and Shawn McLean (4-4) who had recently KOd undefeated (38-0) Faruq Saleem but didn't create a lot of interest with his first 9 bouts. That changed significantly in 2010 when he not only beat the experienced southpaw René Dettweiler (record 25-2 with a win over Gbenga Oloukun) but was also the first fighter to stop him, needing just two rounds for it. He also got a TKO win against Michael Sprott but was losing this fight heavily, it was a controversial stoppage as Michael Sprott got to his feet by the 8 count and looked well enough to continue. However three months later for the first time in his pro career, Edmund lost the rematch with Sprott by majority decision.
