The former “half-champion” of the world heavyweight, who owned the WBA World title, 38-year-old Mahmoud Charr (34-4, 20 KOs) did not grieve for long in connection with the failure of the fight against Australian colleague Lucas Brown, which was supposed to take place at the end of last weeks in Dubai (UAE).
A few days after it became known that the event was banned (more on this here), Charr returned to Germany and quietly fought with 46-year-old Albanian Nuri Seferi (42-11, 24 KOs), predictably managing with an unpretentious veteran in two incomplete rounds (TKO 2).
“Wishing all boxing fans a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! – Mahmoud spoke after the victory. – Well, to the haters: support the athletes more, because they enter the ring for you. When someone is hated, there is no funding for athletes or promoters. Due to the current boxing situation in Germany, the sponsors have turned off the tap and it is difficult to find an event that is televised. If you want boxing to survive, support us!”
