Did Sultan Mehmet IV defeat a Persian champion in single combat?

As I have been unable to find any mention of a siege of Baghdad in that year, plus the fact that the Ottomans and Persians do not seem to have been at war at that time ( see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman–Persian_wars ) I am fairly certain that this is a corruption of the 1638 capture by Murad IV (note the year and similarity of name); where the single combat came from I do not know.( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capture_of_Baghdad_(1638)

Note that 1683 saw the Ottomans active military at the other end of their empire ( which ended badly https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vienna). A war with Persia stretching their capabilities and drawing the Sultan there would be mentioned.
