It’s possible you’ll discover it laborious to confer with this one as a world heavyweight title combat, no less than whereas protecting your face straight, however Mahmoud Charr and Kubrat Pulev are once more set to fulfill, with Charr’s, shall we embrace, spurious declare to the WBA heavyweight title to be at stake on December 7 in Sofia, Bulgaria. Battle Freaks broke this information.
As followers could recall, Charr, chronically inactive – simply three fights since 2017 – was to have defended his “common” strap in opposition to Pulev in March, just for Charr to endure (one other) damage and have to tug out.
39-year-old Charr (he turns 40 subsequent month) appears to have been round for an extended, very long time, despite the fact that the German-Syrian warrior hasn’t been combating a lot these previous seven years. “Diamond Boy” was final seen stopping Nuri Seferi in December of 2022, and it’s a must to return to November of 2017 to search out the combat that noticed Charr, 34-4(20), win his “world” title – this was when he received a 12 spherical UD over Alexander Ustinov.
“Bulgarian Cobra” Pulev is now even older than Charr at age 43, and the previous two-time world title challenger (legit variations, Pulev dropping to Wladimir Klitschko in 2014, and to Anthony Joshua in 2020, with each males stopping him) is 31-3(14). Final seen successful a really uninteresting resolution over Ihor Shevadzutskyi, this on March 30, the match a late sub for Pulev’s problem of Charr, Pulev continues to be fairly sturdy, however gradual of hand and foot.
Who is aware of what sort of a combat we are going to get on December 7, that’s if Charr truly, actually does handle to get into the ring to combat this time. Laughably, some experiences say the winner might be “in line to combat full WBA heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.” Not an opportunity.
It stays to be seen if any US or UK TV protection might be in place to select this one up (and whether or not or not a P-P-V price will truly be in place!) Pulev or Charr, who do you want?
