Professional Boxing

Charr was slated to fight WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko on September 8, 2012 in Moscow, Russia for the WBC Heavyweight Championship.

Charr turned up during the post-fight press conference of the David Haye-Dereck Chisora fight on July 14 (Haye won via TKO in the 5th round) in order to challenge Haye, after promising to defeat Klitschko in September.

Klitschko won the fight via TKO when Charr had to be stopped due to a cut received from Vitali's punches. Charr strongly protested the stoppage but the decision stayed giving Charr the first defeat of his professional career.[2]

Manuel Charr defended his WBC International Silver heavyweight title against Yakup Saglam in Galaţi, Romania on February 22, 2013.[3]

Manuel Charr vs David Haye

Charr was due to fight David Haye at Manchester Arena on 29 June 2013.[4] However, Haye pulled out of the fight due to a hand injury; and will fight Tyson Fury instead on September 28th, at the Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester, UK. However, Haye has pulled out of the fight between Fury due to receiving a cut above his left brow, in a sparring match. The fight was rescheduled to February 8th 2014, but Haye had to unshedule it due to a shoulder injury[5] that could make him retire.
