Just what will former two-time heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua’s next move be? With that talked-about fight with Deontay Wilder seemingly dead in the water, or at least absolutely nowhere near close to being, well, near, Joshua has no next fight set.
This one’s just crazy, on more than one level and for more than one reason. Mahmoud Charr, known as “Diamond Boy,” is once again the WBA “Regular” champ at heavyweight, this due to a court ruling.
You may or may not have been looking forward to watching veteran heavyweights Lucas Browne and Manuel Charr fight today in Dubai.
Update: Mahmoud Charr (33-4, 19 knockouts) will NOT fight Lucas Browne (31-3, 27 knockouts) on December 17. The entire event has been canceled.
Things could – and hopefully will – change, but it seems more and more likely that Tyson Fury will fight the thoroughly undeserving Mahmoud Charr next.
Tonight in Cologne, Germany, Manuel Charr scored an easy second round KO win over previously unbeaten heavyweight puncher Christopher Lovejoy. Charr, holder of a version of the WBA heavyweight title and having his first fight since November of 2017, trapped the 306 pound Lovejoy in a corner and blazed away with a volley of shots that dropped the Las Vegas based 37 year old.
WBA champion in recess Mahmoud Charr (32-4, 18 KOs) steamrolled over American Christopher Lovejoy (19-1, 19 KOs) by a machine-like 2nd round knockout on Saturday night at the Sportstudio Baaden in Cologne, Germany.
Tomorrow’s heavyweight clash between Manuel Charr and unbeaten puncher Christopher Lovejoy will go ahead as planned. A real oddity of a fight, one that is quite spuriously billed as a WBA world title fight, this is a match where no-one knows what to expect when the bell rings in Koln, Germany.
Talk about an oddity of a heavyweight fight; especially one that calls itself a “world” heavyweight title fight. This Saturday in Germany, Manuel Charr will supposedly face Christopher Lovejoy in a fight that will (if it actually takes place, and Don King, who may or may not have control of Lovejoy, might have something to say about it), see Charr defend the version of the WBA heavyweight title he won way back in 2017.
Unbeaten at 19-0(19) but having an almost invisible profile, with no full footage of a single one of his fights out there, heavyweight giant Christopher Lovejoy announced his retirement a short while ago.
