Mini bio
How it started.
Fans first knew him as Manuel Charr; he now uses Mahmoud Charr. His official website describes a childhood shaped by fleeing war and moving to Germany. He came to boxing through kickboxing and Muay Thai, then joined Sauerland in Berlin in 2005 after a short amateur career.
Finding his own corner.
Charr worked with Ulli Wegner and later Fritz Sdunek. In 2011 he began managing and promoting his career through DiamondBoy Promotion. His first major world-title opportunity came against Vitali Klitschko in Moscow on 8 September 2012, when a cut led to a fourth-round stoppage.
The title years.
On 25 November 2017, Charr beat Alexander Ustinov in Oberhausen to win the WBA regular heavyweight title. It was the WBA’s secondary heavyweight championship. After a lengthy dispute, the WBA reinstated him as regular champion in August 2023 through a court settlement. He lost the belt to Kubrat Pulev in December 2024.
Keeping fans close.
His Instagram updates mix training progress with personal moments. In 2026 he shared fitness updates, a birthday reflection and his enthusiasm for cars.
