Career
He briefly appeared professionally. Unfortunately an injury at the World Amateur Championships in Houston in 1999 caused him to miss out on selection for the 2000 Olympic Games, but ultimately lead to his decision to turn professional. Having started boxing at the age of 12, Ercument has a wealth of experience and fought current world champions Markus Beyer and Sven Ottke as an amateur.
He spent time as a training camp room mate with the Klitschko brothers and Sinan Samil Sam and is hoping to emulate their professional success as a middleweight.
