According to sources in Germany and Russia, WBC #15 rated contender Manuel Charr (26-2, 15 KOs) will start his comeback after the latest kayo loss to Alexander Povetkin on the same card with his offender. Charr is expected to be a part of the Alexander Povetkin vs. Carlos Takam undercard, the event taking its place on Oct. 24 in Moscow, Russia.

Several names have been mentioned for the fighter, whose only losses came to Povetkin and Vitali Klitschko in 2012 WBC heavyweight title challenge. Among them are Cubans: WBC #13 Odlanier Solis (20-2, 13 KOs) and WBC #3, WBO #9 and IBF #12 rated Mike Perez (20-1-1, 12 KOs). Another (slim) possibility is Pole Tomasz Adamek, but the latter is tentatively set to fight his countryman Artur Szpilka in an epic all-Polish encounter on November 8.
