Bert Schenk (born 14 November 1970 in Berlin, Germany) was a German boxer.

Professional career

Schenk turned pro in 1996 and won the WBO Middleweight Title on 30 January 1999 against Freeman Barr by 4th round TKO. Otis Grant had vacated the belt to fight Roy Jones, Jr. for the WBC/WBA light heavyweight titles, leaving the belt vacant for Schenk and Barr to fight. Schenk was stripped of the belt for not defending, and later lost the following year to Armand Krajnc when he recovered.
