Charr promises to donate money to Syria

Heavyweight boxer Manuel Charr has revealed that if David Haye agrees to fight him, he will donate half of his purse to peace projects in Syria.

The 28-year-old Syrian, who is based in Germany, is expected to go up against Haye in the ring in Manchester on June 29.

"I want to fight for peace and set a sign of hope for Syria," The Sun quotes Charr as saying.

"That's why I will donate half of my purse for peace projects in my home country if David Haye accepts to fight me."

Haye announced his return to boxing last week.
