Did Manuel Mahmoud Charr find a way out of further fighting? This time, the stage was set for a showdown with Kubrat Pulev in Sofia on March 30th, but sadly Charr's left bicep had other plans. Promoter Errol Ceylan said it was determined that Charl's biceps needed surgical treatment. And here we thought that Charr's favorite form of combat is not in the ring, but in the courtroom.
We are currently actively searching for a replacement opponent. After all, it wouldn't be a Charl battle without some last-minute drama. Bless his soul, Pulev has been training hard and had legendary coach Uli Wegner come to Sofia to put the finishing touches on his preparations for this WBA World Championship. It was supposed to be a great moment for Char, his first title defense. But perhaps Char's strategy from the beginning was to take this fight where he felt most comfortable: in the courtroom. Given his track record, he might come out on top there.
