That\u2019s right \u2014 the same Charr who just lost to 44-year-old <strong data-start=\"378\" data-end=\"394\">Kubrat Pulev<\/strong>, a man whose footwork looks like he\u2019s walking through wet cement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"92\" data-end=\"460\">Honestly, who on earth actually wants to see Joshua fight Charr?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"462\" data-end=\"901\">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,<br data-start=\"733\" data-end=\"736\"\/><strong data-start=\"736\" data-end=\"774\">\u201cThere\u2019s only one giant in Syria.\u201d<\/strong><br data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"777\"\/>Mate, there\u2019s only one giant embarrassment in this situation \u2014 and it\u2019s you, still trying to cosplay as a contender in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Mahmoud Charr: WBA\u2019s Favorite Legal Department Fighter<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"1205\">Let\u2019s be brutally clear: <strong data-start=\"909\" data-end=\"956\">Charr doesn\u2019t win fights, he wins lawsuits.<\/strong><br data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"959\"\/>His entire title legacy reads more like a courtroom transcript than a BoxRec page. This is the only guy who\u2019s managed to hold onto a <strong data-start=\"1092\" data-end=\"1114\">WBA \u201cRegular\u201d belt<\/strong> not by beating top contenders \u2014 but by filing <strong data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1204\">appeals, injunctions, and angry letters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1207\" data-end=\"1509\">Remember when he was \u201cchampion in recess\u201d for about four or more years? Yeah, because he either couldn\u2019t get licensed, failed tests, or had legal beef with the WBA for not letting him defend a belt he basically mailed in for.<br data-start=\"1429\" data-end=\"1432\"\/><strong data-start=\"1432\" data-end=\"1509\">At this point, Charr\u2019s biggest WBA win was probably against their lawyer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Charr\u2019s R\u00e9sum\u00e9: A Collection of \u2018Almosts\u2019 and Ambulance Rides<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"1343\">Let\u2019s be brutally honest \u2014 <strong data-start=\"997\" data-end=\"1060\">Charr is a third-tier heavyweight with first-tier audacity.<\/strong><br data-start=\"1060\" data-end=\"1063\"\/>He peaked in 2012 when <strong data-start=\"1086\" data-end=\"1106\">Vitali Klitschko<\/strong> stopped him in four rounds on a cut. That\u2019s his big career highlight \u2014 he got cut. Since then, his record reads like a tour of forgotten undercards and \u201cwho?\u201d opponents, with the occasional reality check handed out by actual fighters.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1546\">\n<li data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1381\">\n<p data-start=\"1347\" data-end=\"1381\"><strong data-start=\"1347\" data-end=\"1379\">Brutally knocked out by Povetkin in 7<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1382\" data-end=\"1412\">\n<p data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1412\"><strong data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1410\">Outpointed by Duhaupas<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1413\" data-end=\"1473\">\n<p data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1473\"><strong data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1471\">Blasted out\u00a0 brutally by Mairis Briedis, a cruiserweight, in 5<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1546\">\n<p data-start=\"1476\" data-end=\"1546\"><strong data-start=\"1476\" data-end=\"1546\">And most recently?
