Q & A Manuel “Diamond Boy” Charr

This Saturday in Rostock, Germany Heavyweight prospect Manuel “Diamond Boy” Charr 12-0(6) steps up in class when he takes on battle hardened Sherman Williams 34-10-2(19). Charr will hope to celebrate his 25 birthday which also happens to be on Saturday with a win which will likely be considered his best to date. He holds a win over Gbenga Okoukan who was unbeaten until Charr stopped him in the seventh. Since then Okoukan has rebounded to beat Lamon Brewster which makes Charr’s victory all the more impressive. Charr was born in Lebanon but moved to Germany when he was 5. Now fighting out of his adopted homeland he homes to create mayhem in the Heavyweight division. With the current state of things he’s a welcome addition
