By Robert Brizel, Head Actual Fight Media Boxing Correspondent

Cologne, Germany (Could 14th, 2021)– On Could 15, 2021, former World Boxing Affiliation World Heavyweight champion Manuel “Diamond Boy” Charr, 34-1 with 17 knockouts, initially from Beirut, Lebanon, now hailing from Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, inactive for 3 and a half years, will return to the ring at Field Health club in his native Cologne, Germany, in opposition to unbeaten however unknown Christopher “Diamond Boy” Lovejoy, 19-0 with 19 knockouts, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The padded report of Lovejoy south of the border in Mexico started with ten consecutive wins within the first spherical, consisting of first spherical knockouts, first spherical stoppages, and one referee’s stoppage within the first spherical. These opponents included skilled debuts amounting to individuals placing on boxing trunks and accumulating a paycheck winless fighters, {and professional} losers. Lovejoy, who has just one bout up to now two years, has solely had two opponents make it out of the primary spherical, a second spherical stoppage and a 3rd spherical stoppage.

How Germany can sanction a 12 spherical between a former world heavyweight champion and an opponent whose padded report of stiffs raises extra questions than solutions subsequent week both speaks for the desperation of discovering an opponent in the course of the pandemic, the stupidity of the matchmaker and stupidity of Mr. Lovejoy. AN upset is unlikely right here, and is the bout makes it previous the fifth or sixth spherical this reporter can be shocked. Not as shocked because the match itself. The matchup is a joke, and Mr. Charr is just not fooling the specialists, this reporter, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, or any of the key contenders within the heavyweight division. Inactivity is one difficulty, combating bums one other. He may as effectively combat Max Schmeling, who is just not alive however nonetheless has higher credentials than the mysterious 19-0 Mr. Lovejoy.

Even the opponents of the late World Heavyweight champion Joe Louis had higher credentials than the undefeated Mr. Lovejoy, whom Mr. Charr is not going to expertise pleasure with when he knocks him out shortly in a bout which proves completely nothing. Mr. Lovejoy ought to combat just a few opponents in six or eight rounders with profitable information earlier than stepping up from the underside rung to the world class rung. Mr. Charr is unlikely to be fooled, and no different contenders would ever conform to a mismatch like this. All in a day’s work within the boxing ring, and as reporters, we’ve seen all of it, however we’re nonetheless greater than we’ve seen earlier than.
