Pierre Vogel (born July 20, 1978), also known as Abu Hamza[3] (Arabic: أبو حمزة) is a German Islamic[4] preacher and a former professional boxer.

He turned professional at the age of 22, fighting briefly (for two years) as a cruiserweight for the Sauerland club and was undefeated in seven bouts.

[8] He has been described in one German report as a "radical Muslim",[9] while Matthias Matussek, author and commentator for Der Spiegel, described him as representative of the "dark Nazi variant" of Islam in Germany.

[10] When he appeared at a Muslim meeting in Dillingen, Saarland, 25 April 2010, he said that polygamy is legitimate due to the fact that there are more women than men in Germany.

[11] In January 2016, Vogel shared a video giving out the personal details of a woman who claimed to have been raped by men of Middle Eastern appearance in Cologne during New Year's, claiming that she had falsified her story in order to slander Islam.
