HOUSTON, TEXAS (Mac 31, 2015) – Bombs will be flying once again when Gary Shaw Productions dan Promosi Savarese’ undefeated Light-Heavyweight slugger, Medzhid “B-52” Bektemirov (15-0, 12 KOs), membuat perjalanan pulang ke cincin terhadap Michael Gbenga (20-18, 20 KOs). Bektemirov vs. Gbenga, satu pertarungan 8-pusingan, akan mengambil tempat Sabtu, April 18, at College Park Center located on the campus of the University of Texas Arlington on the undercard of Crawford-Dulorme.
Kedudukan #10 oleh WBA, Bektemirov akan mendapatkan kemenangan lain terhadap Gbenga, as he looks to climb up the Light-Heavyweight rankings while keeping his undefeated record intact. His mission, seperti selalu, adalah untuk mendapatkan lawannya keluar dari sana awal.
“Saya mencari untuk mencari dan memusnahkan semua orang dalam laluan saya,” kata Medzhid Bektemirov. “Jurulatih saya 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, tetapi saya rasa tumbukan saya akan menjadi lebih mudah meletup dan saya akan memburu kalah mati dari loceng pembukaan. Saya bersedia untuk menggugurkan bom!”
“Lou dan saya melakukan yang terbaik untuk memastikan B-52 sibuk,” berkata 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.”
“Saya amat gembira bahawa Gary Shaw mampu untuk mendapatkan B-52 pada kad ini,” berkata 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.”
