Mahmoud Manuel Charr won’t shut up about Joshua — someone please change his Wi-Fi password…..Charr, a man whose boxing career has been kept alive purely through delusion, Instagram filters, and the WBA’s endless charity, is now trying to manifest a fight with Anthony Joshua. That’s right — the same Charr who just lost to 44-year-old Kubrat Pulev, a man whose footwork looks like he’s walking through wet cement.
Honestly, who on earth actually wants to see Joshua fight Charr?
In his latest comedy sketch disguised as a promo, Charr posted a video of him and Joshua walking toward each other in Dubai while random dudes in robes loiter in the background like confused extras from a Netflix historical drama. He then declares, with full seriousness,
“There’s only one giant in Syria.”
Mate, there’s only one giant embarrassment in this situation — and it’s you, still trying to cosplay as a contender in 2025.
Mahmoud Charr: WBA’s Favorite Legal Department Fighter
Let’s be brutally clear: Charr doesn’t win fights, he wins lawsuits.
His entire title legacy reads more like a courtroom transcript than a BoxRec page. This is the only guy who’s managed to hold onto a WBA “Regular” belt not by beating top contenders — but by filing appeals, injunctions, and angry letters.
Remember when he was “champion in recess” for about four or more years? Yeah, because he either couldn’t get licensed, failed tests, or had legal beef with the WBA for not letting him defend a belt he basically mailed in for.
At this point, Charr’s biggest WBA win was probably against their lawyer.
Charr’s Résumé: A Collection of ‘Almosts’ and Ambulance Rides
Let’s be brutally honest — Charr is a third-tier heavyweight with first-tier audacity.
He peaked in 2012 when Vitali Klitschko stopped him in four rounds on a cut. That’s his big career highlight — he got cut. Since then, his record reads like a tour of forgotten undercards and “who?” opponents, with the occasional reality check handed out by actual fighters.
-
Brutally knocked out by Povetkin in 7
-
Outpointed by Duhaupas
-
Blasted out brutally by Mairis Briedis, a cruiserweight, in 5
-
And most recently? Beat up by old-man Pulev over 12 joyless rounds
We’re not even sure what division he belongs in anymore — heavyweight, bridgerweight, or just straight up irrelevantweight. The man still hasn’t figured out which nationality he’s claiming this week. Syrian? Palestinian? German? American? Depends what day it is and who’s watching.
Health Issues? More Like Boss Level Damage
Let’s recap the Charr medical file for anyone wondering if this is even ethical:
-
Both hips replaced — because boxing is totally fine at 40+ with metal legs
-
Shot twice in a kebab shop — and somehow that was still more dramatic than any of his fights
-
Currently residing in Dubai, posting clips like he’s about to headline Madison Square Garden, not beg for undercard spots on Riyadh Season
Mahmoud Charr, the King of Never Was
Look — Charr’s not a bad guy. But let’s stop pretending he’s anything more than boxing’s answer to a recurring cameo.
He pops up once a year, makes noise, name-drops Joshua, and hopes someone with a checkbook bites.
Charr’s not a contender. He’s not a gatekeeper. He’s a walking LinkedIn request to the top 10.
If this fight happens, it won’t be competitive — it’ll be AJ doing his best not to violate elder care laws.
So go ahead, Mahmoud — post another dramatic video. Just don’t be shocked when no one replies with a contract.
There’s only one giant in Syria? Cool. But in boxing? You’re the mascot.
