He is actually serious: Stefan Raab, who retired in December 2015, returns to the camera. Over the Easter holidays, the German TV icon teased her comeback with a cryptic video on Instagram. We now know what’s behind it: a boxing match with Regina Halmich.
After the two met in the ring in 2001 and 2007, they are now facing each other for a third time. The big event takes place in September. But where will the fight be seen? The industry has been speculating for weeks. Now there is a clear announcement where we can marvel at Raab’s comeback with our own eyes.
The Clark Final Fight: RTL shows the Stefan Raab comeback with Regina Halmich on television
Will he return to ProSieben? Is he working together with RTL again? Or will he turn away from linear television completely and join forces with a streaming service like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video? As DWDL reports, Raab remains on TV. RTL won the contract and shows the comeback on television.
The event is officially titled The Clark Final Fight, will take place on September 14, 2024 at the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf and will be broadcast on RTL. Securing the broadcasting rights is a great success for the private broadcaster based in Cologne. It is already clear that Raab’s comeback will be one of the TV events of the year.
Inga Leschek, the program manager of RTL and RTL+, promises:
The dream of many millions of TV viewers and my own personal one is finally coming true: Stefan Raab is stepping back into the spotlight we will prepare the perfect stage for him. Boxing on RTL fits like Regina’s fist on Stefan’s eye. We are very pleased that RTL is accompanying the night of nights live – and here’s to a spectacular moment in television history. How does Stefan Raab’s career on television continue after the boxing match with Regina Halmich?
Will The Clark Final Fight remain a one-off event or does Stefan Raab plan to appear in front of the camera more often in the future? So far the star is holding up covered with further plans. At least behind the scenes, he will continue to be involved in the development of new projects. He recently founded the production company Raab Entertainment with the former ProSieben and Sat.1 boss Daniel Rosemann. Raab is also said to be planning its own streaming service aimed at smartphone users.
