Raab vs. Halmich broadcast: TV, stream, time
Date & Time: When is Stefan Raab vs. Regina Halmich?
While one of the most bizarre boxing matches of all time takes place in the USA on July 20 with Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, the next crazy boxing thriller will follow in Germany just a few months later!
On September 14, the boxing match between Stefan Raab and Regina Halmich will take place in Düsseldorf at the PSD Bank Dome. It starts at 19:45.
It will be the third duel between the German TV entertainer and the former professional boxer and is accordingly entitled “The Final Fight”. Raab and Halmich have already stood in the ring in 2001 and 2007 and Raab clearly lost both times.
After Raab caused a stir with a mysterious video about a possible TV comeback, Regina Halmich quickly solved the mystery. She wrote on Instagram: “First the bad news: Stefan will be back when I fight him. And now comes the good news: I have nothing better planned for September 14. We have a fight!”
Who is showing the Raab vs. Halmich broadcast on TV?
After the announcement of the boxing match between the German show giant and the ex-professional boxer, German Raab fans are naturally asking THE one question:
Who will broadcast the Stefan Raab vs. Regina Halmich boxing match?
Stefan Raab vs. Regina Halmich will definitely be broadcast on German free TV. However, intensive negotiations will take place in the coming weeks and months with the new Raab production company “Raab Entertainment” to decide who will get the contract.
Raab had his great success with all his shows on Prosieben. However, since his TV retirement in 2015, some of his productions have moved to RTL.
The broadcast of Halmich vs. Raab on RTL
Another argument in favor of the RTL broadcast of Raab vs. Halmich was that many of his formats are now on RTL, such as “Promi Turmspringen”. And some like “Blamieren oder kassieren” with Elton as presenter. And that’s how it turned out!
Stefan Raab’s boxing match against Regina Halmich will be broadcast live on RTL! It starts at 20:15.
In addition to the Raab vs. Halmich broadcast on TV, the boxing match will also be streamed on the paid online portal RTL+. However, there will be no replay on TV. The boxing match will still be available to stream on RTL+ after the broadcast.
In addition to the live broadcast, which will run under the title “DER CLARK FINAL FIGHT”, it is still unclear who will accompany the showdown between Raab and Halmich as presenter, commentator and expert.
Elton as presenter is the obvious choice. Frank Buschmann could be an option as commentator, as he has already commented on all Raab events in the past. Axel Schulz would be a conceivable expert.
In any case, Inga Leschek, Program Director of RTL and RTL+, is very proud that RTL will be broadcasting the legendary Raab vs. Halmich boxing match live on September 14.
“The dream of many millions of TV viewers and my own personal dream is finally coming true: Stefan Raab is stepping back into the spotlight and we will provide him with the perfect stage. Boxing on RTL fits like Regina’s fist to Stefan’s eye. We are delighted that RTL will be accompanying the Night of Nights live – and are looking forward to a spectacular moment in television history,” she enthuses.
It is also interesting to see the “title” of the boxing match between Raab and Halmich. In his comeback video, Raab wears a cap with the inscription “NWSDWH”.
And Raab fans know: He likes to abbreviate his show titles with such a series of letters. For example, he called his casting show for the Eurovision Song Contest SSDSGPS (“Stefan sucht den Super-Grand-Prix-Star”).
Interesting fact: Raab’s new production company “Raab Entertainment GmbH” registered the combination “NWSDWH” as a trademark on March 21. In the trademark register (has 45 classes), the NWSDWH trademark is protected for a total of 15 goods and services – including meat, cosmetics and cleaning agents, as well as catering and accommodation for guests.

Forecast & Raab vs. Halmich betting odds: Who will win on September 14?
Stefan Raab and Regina Halmich have already faced each other twice in the boxing ring. The two duels took place in 2001 and 2007, with Halmich winning both times against the “Killerplauze”.
Although Raab confidently claimed in the run-up to the first fight, which took place in the TVtotal studio, that he could defeat the reigning world champion, he had no chance against the 1.60 meter short Halmich despite his height of 1.81 meters. In the end, he had to admit defeat with a broken nose.
Six years later, the rematch took place in the Cologne Arena in 2007. Stefan Raab held his own for six rounds, but in the end he lost again quite clearly. But his nose remained intact
What’s the forecast for the third Halmich vs. Raab duel, which will take place on September 14?
If bookmaker Bet-at-home’s predictions are to be believed, then Regina Halmich will also win the third edition of the gender duel. In the betting odds for the Raab vs. Halmich boxing match, the former world champion is clearly favored.
However, the omens for the Raab vs. Halmich broadcast have changed quite a bit compared to the first two fights
While the 47-year-old Halmich was still an active sportswoman in the first two fights, this is no longer the case in the third edition. The undefeated Women’s International Boxing Federation world champion from 1995 to 2007 ended her career in 2007.
While Raab only had five weeks to prepare for the second fight back then, this time the 57-year-old has had over five months to prepare since the announcement on April 1 until September 14.
Halmich too, however…
