HOUSTON, TEXAS (Fevriye 12, 2015) – Gary Shaw Productions ak Savarese Pwomosyona kontan anonse l ap sendika yo ankouraje youn nan ki pi talan kandida yo leve, li vini nan divizyon an pwa loud limyè, Medzhid Bektemir (14-0, 11 Ko). A devastating puncher with power in both hands, Bektemirov tou posede vitès ak vivasité, fè l 'youn nan pale ki pi sou avyon de gè nan Larisi.
Li te fèt nan Makhachkala, Larisi, Bektemirov, kounye a abite nan USA a, kote li te moutre ak Ronnie Shields nan la “Plex” nan Stafford, Texas. A hard worker who practically lives in the gym, Manje Medzhid, dòmi ak respire boksè.
“Poukisa mwen di nou kounye a, Medzhid Bektemirov se youn nan konbatan yo ki pi talan mwen te wè nan yon ti tan,” di Gary Shaw. “He has the rare combination of speed and power. I’m talking destructive power coming from both hands. His hooks are deadly and his fast feet are amazing. I’m going to go out on a limb and say Bektemirov could be the next great fighter to come out of Russia. I have the greatest amount of respect for Gennady Golovkin ak Sergey Kovalev, both are great champions. Golovkin is a very special fighter and if Bektemirov can reach his level, then we’ll have something special as well. I believe Bektemirov will be looking to face Kovalev in the not so distant future.”
Nan sèlman bout 12yèm l ', Bektemirov pran WBC Etazini yo (USNBC) limyè pwa loud tit ak yon pèfòmans domine kont Randy Griffin (25-4-3, 13 Ko), winning a lopsided twelve-round unanimous decision.

“Nan 2015 Medzhid Bektemirov pral fè devan je l 'li te ye a tout moun nan divizyon an limyè-pwa loud.”Lou Savarese deklare. “This kid reminds me of Mike Tyson with his heavy hands and tremendous speed. I’ve been in the ring with Tyson and I’m confident when I say Bektemirov reminds me a lot like Mike. Gary and I are going to put tremendous amount promoting Medzhid. He will become a household name very soon and we are gunning for that world title.”
“Mwen santi mwen trè beni yo dwe ankouraje pa Gary Shaw ak Lou Savarese ki te nan boksè pou anpil ane,” Medzhid Bektemir di. “I’ve come a long way from Russia to pursue my dream of becoming a champion. I love to fight and I get great enjoyment when I knockout my opponent. In every bout, I’m always going to be looking to end the fight early. The fans want to see knockouts and that is my specialty.”
