I don't know, its very hard to predict. Umarpani was no doubt the bigger and stronger tiger, but Charger had that sheer tenacity, ferocity and looked more athletic. Umarpani also had that tenacity and ferocity, but not as much as Charger. Charger was a extremely ferocious tiger. Both tigers were seemingly invincible in their prime and very battle-tested. But Charger's reign was longer than Umarpani's.

Charger also had those giant sabre-like canines, I think his canines were larger than Umarpani's canines.

Maybe I'll give the slight edge to Umarpani because Charger would basically be fighting a bigger version of himself, and when it comes to fights between predators of the same species, then size usually matters. But who knows. It would have been an epic battle.

Actually, I overlooked Umarpani's history. Charger never had greater tenacity (both had equal amount) than Umarpani. When it comes to sheer tenacity, aggression and relentlessness, Umarpani was one of those tigers at the tip of the spear. 

Charger was more ferocious and aggressive towards people and elephants, but the level of dangerous competition from other big male tigers Umarpani faced and overcame, and the fact that he consistently defeated other huge male tigers and even killed some of these huge males, and the fact that he was practically invincible (like Charger) during his prime and most of his life, speaks volumes about his incredibly lethal fighting prowess, skill, tenacity, strength and power.

Charger was more graceful, aggressive imo. He was an icon feline. Umarpani had proportions and weight advantage. Reply
