Tyson Fury has been called out by heavyweight contender Manuel Charr as he seeks to secure his next fight before the end of this year. This is despite talks with Anthony Joshua seemingly nearing completion, with a December 3rd fight in Cardiff having been widely discussed by both parties.
However, this new development sees Charr, a former WBA (Regular) heavyweight champion calling out Fury and providing a potential second option. Charr has a record of 33-4-0, with 19 wins coming via knockout. Despite his former world champion status he is not a widely known name in the same way as Joshua.
Charr is not currently ranked by the WBC, meaning that he would be ineligible to challenge for Fury's crown but this hasn't stopped the German from reigniting a war of words which began as far back as 2017 when Charr was the WBA (Regular) heavyweight champion.
