HOUSTON, TEXAS (Maart 19, 2015) – Gary Shaw Productions en Savarese Promoties’ ongeslagen licht-zwaargewicht bommenwerper, Medzhidm “B-52” Bektemirov (15-0, 12 KO), wordt nu gerangschikt #10 door de WBA.
Een vechter die de macht heeft in beide handen, B-52 is eager to continue his climb up the WBA rankings with more explosive performances. His mission is to knock everyone out.

“Ik ben erg dankbaar voor mijn promotors Gary Shaw en Lou Savarese voor het krijgen van mij beoordeeld in de WBA,” Said Bektemirov. “I’ve worked very hard to get to this position and I don’t plan on slowing down. I want to be known as the man who likes to drop bombs on my opponents. For these reasons I’m known as B-52. I’m ready wreck the Light-Heavyweight division and knock everyone out.”

“Gilberto Mendoza Sr. en Jr. and the rest of the WBA ratings committee are to be applauded for recognizing the talent of B-52,” zei Gary Shaw. “Hij heeft al het talent, work ethic and desire to become the next great Russian champion. Lou and I are working diligently on his next fight and were hoping he’ll be back in the ring very soon.”

“Ik heb het al eerder gezegd en ik zeg het nogmaals, B-52 doet me denken aan Mike Tyson,” Lou Savarese bepaald. “Afkomstig van een man die Tyson gevochten, Ik weet brute kracht als ik het zie, and Bektemirov can punch with both hands. His knockouts are brutal and everyone who’s seen him fight, knows he’s special. This is the begging of a great run and I couldn’t be happier that he’s ranked with the WBA.”
