HOUSTON, TEXAS (Mars 31, 2015) – Bombs will be flying once again when Gary Shaw Productions og Savarese Kampanjer’ undefeated Light-Heavyweight slugger, Medzhid “B-52” Bektemirov (15-0, 12 KOs), gjør sin vei tilbake til ringen mot Michael Gbenga (20-18, 20 KOs). Bektemirov vs. Gbenga, en 8-round bout, vil finne sted Lørdag, April 18, at College Park Center located on the campus of the University of Texas Arlington on the undercard of Crawford-Dulorme.

Ranked #10 av WBA, Bektemirov vil søke en ny seier mot Gbenga, as he looks to climb up the Light-Heavyweight rankings while keeping his undefeated record intact. His mission, som alltid, er å få motstanderen ut av det tidlig.

“Jeg ønsker å finne og ødelegge alle i min sti,” Said Medzhid Bektemirov. “Min trener 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, men jeg føler mine slag vil bli mer eksplosiv, og jeg skal være gunning for knockout fra åpningen klokken. Jeg er klar til å slippe bomber!”

“Lou og jeg gjør vårt beste for å holde B-52 travel,” sa 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.”

“Jeg er veldig glad for at Gary Shaw var i stand til å få B-52 på dette kortet,” sa 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.”
