Early life
Stump was born on 9 January 1944 in Sibiu, the 9th child of a Transylvanian Saxon family.[1] His parents were killed by Russians during World War II, shortly after his birth, and Stump was raised together with his brothers by his grandparents.[1][2]
Boxing career
He reached four Romanian amateur boxing championship finals, winning one in 1970 against Alec Năstac and losing the other three, two to Năstac and one to Ion Covaci.[1][3] He won a bronze medal at the 1971 European Amateur Boxing Championships from Madrid, defeating Antonio dos Santos and Harald Skog before losing in the semi-finals to Mate Parlov.[1][2][4] In 1972, Stump participated at the first edition of the Golden belt international tournament, organized by Romania, reaching the final where he lost in front of Gilberto Carrillo.[4][5]
After boxing
After his boxing career, Stump struggled with alcoholism and served several prison sentences after being involved in fights.
Horst Stump died in November 2018 in Popești-Leordeni, after spending the last years of his life struggling with poverty and living in a shipping container.[1][2][7][9]
