    After tonight's win Manuel Charr is now, and I can't believe I'm saying this, the WBA World Heavyweight Champion.

    Hearn should swoop straight in with an offer for either Bellew or Whyte to fight Charr. Both these guys would smack Charr around like Povetkin and Briedis did. The guy is awful and needed a hometown decision to win the "belt".

    Thoughts?

    I think Joyce should try and get the fight he could win it

    Honestly I think they could stick Joyce or even Dubois in and they would win this

    Charr is actually shocking, just shows the state of the WBA currently.

    So we have the following British HWs that definitely beat him- AJ, Joyce, Dubois, Whyte, Tyson Fury.

    Then we have those who are at least 50/50 or better against him- Gorman, Bellew, David Price, Hughie Fury

    What a great chumpion the WBA has.

    To be fair the belt means nothing, IBO belt has more about it.

    At the absolute most Charr has just won an eliminator for the proper belt, that's it.

    If Dubois won it so early it would be a potentially bad move
    No way Frank would let him unify or fight other top HWs, they could end up getting a payday and going back to square one building him back up

    I can’t even understand how/why the WBA even sanctioned this fight as a title fight... what a joke. They couldn’t of made much money from it.

    Anyway, agreed Hearn could surely easily make the fight for Whyte which would passify him alittle or Hearn should get the fight for Miller setting up the AJ fight which I reckon will happen this year in the States

    Prob find povetkin handlers will throw a lot money at chart and he will get taht shot .charr is hopeless tho .
    Povetkin,aj,wilder,fury,Ortiz,Parker,whyte,breazeale, Christ even hughy fury Lucas browne all take him apart . If usyk wasn't tied up super 6 he prob would stepped up took charr apart .a shocking champion

    Hearn will surely be on the phone.

    Hearn has said he has promised Whyte a world title shot and said he will do everything he can to get him one.

    OK we know this isn't a real world title but Hearn called Scott Quigg a "world champion" for long enough with his regular belt.
