Hülya Şahin, aka Julia "Sunshine" Sahin, (born February 23, 1974, in Siegen, West Germany) is a German professional female boxer. She is a former world champion in kickboxing and was world champion in amateur boxing as well. As of September 1, 2007, she is the undefeated WIBF world junior flyweight (48 kg) champion. The 1.60 m (5 ft 3 in) tall sportswoman lives in Cologne, Germany. Hülya is an educated locksmith, working currently for the Cologne Transit Company (KVB) in the maintenance of ticket machines in trams.

At her age of 19, she began kickboxing inspired by her brother, who is a kickboxer. Hülya became quickly world champion as an amateur and later once again world champion, this time as a professional. However, she had to quit kickboxing due to a serious injury at her leg.

Her mother raised heavy objections soon after she started to perform boxing, and she tried hard to convince her parents. They accepted her choice as she began to gain success again by earning titles like four times the Turkish champion, twice the European champion and finally the world champion[1]

Since 2004, she is boxing professionally and is the only female member of the boxing sports club Universum Box-Promotion in Hamburg.[2] She is coached by Michael Timm.

Kickboxing

In 1995, only two years after she began performing kickboxing, Hülya became world champion in flyweight (52 kg) division at the full contact karate championships held in Kyiv, Ukraine. She earned the professional world champion title in the same division 1998 in Leverkusen, Germany.[3]

Amateur boxing

From 1998 to 2003, Hülya fought as an amateur boxer for Turkey, quickly becoming one of the most successful members of the national team.

Pro boxing career

Şahin has a record of 20 wins with 3 losses, with 2 wins by knockout, and ranks world top boxer of junior flyweight division considered 133 woman boxers.[6]
