HOUSTON, TEXAS (Március 31, 2015) – Bombs will be flying once again when Gary Shaw Productions és Savarese Promotions’ undefeated Light-Heavyweight slugger, Medzhid “B-52” Bektemirov (15-0, 12 KO), teszi az utat vissza a ringbe ellen Michael Gbenga (20-18, 20 KO). Bektemirov vs. Gbenga, 8 menet, fog lezajlani Szombat, Április 18, at College Park Center located on the campus of the University of Texas Arlington on the undercard of Crawford-Dulorme.
Ranked #10 a WBA, Bektemirov törekszik a másik elleni győzelem Gbenga, as he looks to climb up the Light-Heavyweight rankings while keeping his undefeated record intact. His mission, mint mindig, az, hogy ellenfele onnan kora.
“Én keresem, hogy megkeresse és elpusztítsa mindenki utamon,” Said Medzhid Bektemirov. “Az edzőm 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, de úgy érzem, az én ütések lesz robbanásveszélyes és én leszek lövöldözni az egyenes kieséses a nyitó harang. Készen állok, hogy csepp bombák!”
“Lou és én mindent megtesznek, hogy a B-52 elfoglaltak,” mondott 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.”
“Nagyon boldog vagyok, hogy Gary Shaw képes volt egy B-52 ezen a kártyán,” mondott 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.”
