WBA Heavyweight Champion 'in recess' Mahmoud Charr (32-4, 18 KOs) ckocked previously undefeated Christopher Lovejoy (19-1, 19 KOs) in the first round on Saturday night at Sportstudio Baaden in Cologne, Germany. In his first appearance in the ring since 2017, Charr sent the 300-pound Lovejoy to the floor with a flurry of punches in the second round, and referee Jurgen Langos stopped the fight at 1:09.
The fight of David Allen (18-5-2, 15 KOs) and Christopher Lovejoy (19-0, 19 KOs) in the heavyweight division, which was supposed to take place tomorrow, Saturday, on the undercard of the Usyk vs Chisora, will not take place.
David Allen (18-5-2, 15 KOs), who was the main sparring partner of Alexander Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs) before Saturday's fight against Derek Chisora (32-9 23 KOs), praises the strengths of the former king of the cruiserweight. The Briton has no doubts that the undefeated boxer from Ukraine will be able to successfully compete in the heavier weight category.
