HOUSTON, TEXAS (Maart 31, 2015) – Bombs will be flying once again when Gary Shaw Productions en Savarese Promotions’ undefeated Light-Heavyweight slugger, Medzhid “B-52” Bektemirov (15-0, 12 Uitklophoue), maak sy pad terug na die ring teen Michael Gbenga (20-18, 20 Uitklophoue). Bektemirov vs. Gbenga, 'n 8-ronde bout, sal plaasvind Saterdag, April 18, at College Park Center located on the campus of the University of Texas Arlington on the undercard of Crawford-Dulorme.
Ingedeel #10 deur die WBA, Bektemirov sal nog 'n oorwinning teen Gbenga soek, as he looks to climb up the Light-Heavyweight rankings while keeping his undefeated record intact. His mission, soos altyd, is sy teenstander uit vroeg daar te kry.
“Ek is op soek om te soek en te vernietig almal in my pad,” Said Medzhid Bektemirov. “My afrigter Ronnie Shields has me working on a variety of different combinations that I feel is making me a better fighter. I’m in the gym everyday working extremely hard on everything. Now that I’m ranked in the WBA, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My co-promoters Gary Shaw and Lou Savarese have assured me a big fight if I continue to win. I know Gbenga has a lot of power, maar ek voel my stoot meer plofbare wees en ek sal Gunning vir die uitklopfase van die opening klok. Ek is gereed om bomme te laat val!”
“Ek en Lou doen ons bes besig te hou B-52,” gesê Gary Shaw. “This will be his second fight in a little over a month and we want him on the fast track to a world title. Our goal is to move him up wisely against opponents that will prepare him for the next level. He keeps knocking everyone out so we have to keep him fighting as much as possible.”
“Ek is baie bly dat Gary Shaw kon B-52 te kry op hierdie kaart,” gesê Lou Savarese. “Bektemirov is thrilled to be fighting so soon after a spectacular performance in his last fight which took place last month. I like what Ronnie Shields is doing with him. He’s improving with each fight and that’s what Gary and I are looking for. We want B-52 ready for the next level.”
