---

The WBA confirmed hours before that this bout would take place for the WBA World heavyweight title and the winner must face Fres Oquendo (who hasn't fought since 2014) in a mandatory defence. Ustinov down once in round eight. Charr is Germany's first world heavyweight champion since Max Schmeling reigned from 1930-1932. "What can I say, Germany - we are world champions. I dedicate this title to Germany, the country which gave me a chance and built me up. This is my gift to you all," Charr roared after his unanimous decision victory.
