Just two years after being shot, Manuel Charr has ended
Germany's 85-year wait for a world heavy weight champion and dedicated
his victory over Alexander Ustinov to his adopted home country.
"What can I say, Germany - we are world champions," Charr roared after his unanimous decision victory in Oberhausen landed him the vacant WBA world title.
"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 is Germany's first world heavyweight champion since Max Schmeling reigned from 1930-1932.
On Saturday, Charr was the clear winner after bringing Ustinov to his knees in the eighth round and the judges scored the fight 114-111, 116-111 and 115-112 to the German.
Anthony Joshua is the reigning WBA 'Super' heavyweight champion and the victory over Ustinov could open the door for Charr to a bout with the British boxer.
The win for Beirut-born Charr, who arrived in Germany as a five-year-old, completes his remarkable comeback from two setbacks which would have ended the careers of a less-determined boxer.
In September 2015, he was left fighting for his life after being shot in the stomach following an altercation at a kebab restaurant in Essen.
