17th of July 2020 – EC Boxing’s newly signed Heayvweight Mahmoud Charr has made it clear once again that he is willing to fight the big names of the division. In recent social media posts he offered non-other than former World Champion Andy Ruiz Jr. to fight him for his WBA World Title: „Andy Ruiz – I give you the opportunity to become World Champion again. Accept my challenge and do not hide behind your manager or promoter. Be a man and fight me, I’ll come to the US or Mexiko, I guarantee you that this will be a real battle.“
With Promoter Erol Ceylan from Hamburg, Germany at his side, fights of that scale have become possible for Charr, who’s been eagerly awaiting his return to the ring. Ceylan, who started EC Boxing a decade ago, has made a name for himself in the business. Apart from Charr, well-known boxers such as Christian Hammer, IBO Welterweight Champion Sebastian Formella or Light Heayvweight contender Igor Mikhalkin are part of his stable. Ceylan wants his new client to be involved in massive events: „Mahmoud wants to fight everyone and we are willing to negotiate with everyone. It’s time for a big Heavyweight showdown.“
Ruiz, who recently aligned himself with highly-rated Canelo trainer Eddy Reynoso, would be a huge task for the man from Cologne, but big challenges are nothing new for him. He fought both Vitali Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin in Moscow, as well as other relevant names in the division. He never turned down a dangerous fight. And while Charr is preparing for battle, Erol Ceylan is doing everything in his power to get them done.
