HOUSTON, TEXAS (Machi 31, 2015) – Bombs will be flying once again when Gary Shaw Productions na Savarese Promotions’ undefeated Light-Heavyweight slugger, Medzhid “B-52” Bektemirov (15-0, 12 Kos), hufanya njia yake nyuma ya pete dhidi ya Michael Gbenga (20-18, 20 Kos). Bektemirov vs. Gbenga, Bout 8 mzima, utafanyika Jumamosi, Aprili 18, at College Park Center located on the campus of the University of Texas Arlington on the undercard of Crawford-Dulorme.
Nafasi #10 na WBA, Bektemirov watajaribu ushindi mwingine dhidi ya Gbenga, as he looks to climb up the Light-Heavyweight rankings while keeping his undefeated record intact. His mission, kama siku zote, ni kupata mpinzani wake nje ya hapo mapema.
“Mimi nina kuangalia kwa kutafuta na kuharibu kila mtu katika njia yangu,” ulisema Medzhid Bektemirov. “Mkufunzi My 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, lakini mimi kuhisi kukwepa makonde yangu itakuwa zaidi kulipuka na mimi itakuwa gunning kwa mtoano kutoka kengele ufunguzi. Mimi niko tayari kushuka mabomu!”
“Lou na mimi ni kufanya kazi nzuri ya kuweka B-52 busy,” alisema 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.”
“Nina furaha sana kwamba Gary Shaw alikuwa na uwezo wa kupata B-52 katika kadi hii,” alisema 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.”
