Erkan Teper (born 18 June 1982) is a German professional boxer. He held the European heavyweight title in 2015, but was stripped by the EBU for failing a drug test.
As a super heavyweight amateur, Teper won silver medals at the 2006 German National Championships and the 2007 World Military Games. He won the 2009 Bolivarian Alternative Games in Santiago, Cuba. [1]
Teper faced heavyweight contender David Price on 17 July 2015 for the EBU heavyweight title. He fought belligerently during the bout and knocked down Price in the 2nd round with a left hook. The fight was called off by the referee immediately resulting in a KO victory for Teper. [2]
Teper was supposed to face Robert Helenius on 19 December 2015, but cancelled the match due to a shoulder injury. [3] Thus he had to give up the EBU Heavyweight title, which was then claimed by Helenius in a match against Franz Rill. It was later reported that Teper had failed a post-fight drug test after knocking out Price and is currently under investigation for unlawful possession of doping substances. [4]
