Former WBA minor world heavyweight champion Mahmoud “Manuel” Charr (32-4, 18 KOs) – or whatever his status was under the intricate rules of this organization – will continue his career with a fight at the Die Bucht arena in Hamburg (Germany).
On May 28, that is, a little over a year after the last fight, the 37-year-old Syrian will face the German Michael Wallisch (22-5, 15 KOs).
In the spring of 2021, Charr faced puffy puncher Christopher Lovejoy and easily scored him in the 2nd round. It was his first fight since 2017, when he outboxed Alexander Ustinov to win the “regular” WBA title.
But in the summer of 2018, Charr challenged Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua… There was a time when Jarrell Miller threatened Manuel’s ass.
As part of the same boxing evening, 29-year-old Viktor Vykhrist (9-0, 7 KOs) from Ukraine will perform. On February 27, the fourth day of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the occupying Russian army, his promoter said that Shevadzutsky and Vykhryst were “in Ukraine, fighting for their country.”
