The Bosnian PrinceArmin Mrkanovic gets robbed in West Virginia

За незабавно освобождаване

Queens, NY (Юли 5, 2017)On June 24th, cruiserweight Armin Mrkanovic went into his UBF All-Americas title bout with Josh Himes, thinking that even though he was fighting in his opponent’s home territory of Moundsville, Западна Вирджиния, that he would receive a fair shake.

That was not the case as most ringside observers believed that Mrkanovic should have come out with the verdict, but instead it was Himes who came out with the unanimous decision by scores of 77-75, 79-73 and an inexplicable 80-72 рабош.
Before the fight, I knew I could and would beat him easily. Before the fight, i was told that my wife got stuck on the road on her drive to West Virginia, and I can admit that I lost the first two rounds,” said Mrkanovic. “I then clearly won five of the next rounds, so for those two judges to give zero and one round shows that something was not right with the fight.
Mrkanovic claims that even Himesteam agreed that wrong man had his hand raised.
After the fight was over, his trainer apologized to me, and admitted the fight was at worst a draw, but said that I should have won the fight. The two other cornermen echoed the same sentiments.
Mrkanovic wanted to view the fight for himself, but has received pushback from the local promotion.
I asked for a copy of the fight, and the promoter has refused to show me. He did not want to share for fear that I would be able to look at what happened. It would have done two things, I would have even a more clear argument plus if there is a rematch, I could further expose Himesflaws and be even better the next time around. It is funny, I was told that there a handful of people filming it to Facebook Live, but mysteriously those videos are gone. The President of the UBF requested the video, and he can’t even view it.The local paper only mentioned the result of the fight, but made other fight’s more prominent in their story. I was lucky that I was able to download one of those copies to my phone. I am able to view it, but because the original copy is erased, it is not shareable.
My team is working on out options on what we can do about this miscarriage of justice.

Two-time world champion Beibut Shumenov Retires due to severe eye injury

За незабавно освобождаване
LAS VEGAS (Юни 26, 2017) – Две разделение World Boxing Association (WBA) Световен шампион Shumenov Beibu has relinquished his WBA cruiserweight world title, due to his career-ending eye injury, and he has announced his retirement from the ring.
I have regrettably relinquished my WBA cruiserweight title and retired from boxing because of a traumatic eye injury suffered the week before my last scheduled fight,” Shumenov said from his Las Vegas home. “I’m extremely disappointed my boxing career has ended like this but, за съжаление, injuries are part of this sport and there’s nothing I can do about it. I still have blurred vision and I need to have an additional surgery next month to try to further repair so I don’t risk blindness in my (надясно) eye.

I’d like to thank my family, my team throughout the years, friends and fans for their continued support all these years. I was proud to wear the WBA championship belt for many years as a two-division champion. I’m grateful to WBA President Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, баща му, and all those in my WBA family. It was quite a ride and I look forward with great anticipation to the next chapter of my life with my son and future endeavors.

Shumenov (17-2, 11 Нокаута), а 2004 Казахстан Olympian, was scheduled to face Interim WBA champion Юниер Dorticos (21-0, 20 Нокаута) in the April 29тата main event of Премиер боксови Champions на FS1 и FOX Депортес, from Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas.

During his last slated sparring sessions, Shumenov suffered an eye injury that required immediate surgery, forcing him to withdraw from his Април 29 fight against Dorticos.

Earlier this month, the WBA received a letter from Shumenov’s eye surgeon, Dr. Kent L. Wellish, who wrote the following: “Г-н. Beibut Shumenov has a serious ocular issue, a recurrent corneal erosion of his right eye, that with continued fighting, puts him at risk for permanently losing his eyesight.

It is my medical opinion that he should permanently refrain from sparring, training and boxing due to the severity of damage to his eye and the high risk of further damage of vision impairment, including the possibility of permanent vision loss.
The WBA accepted Shumenov’s relinquishment of his championship, noting that it expressed its gratitude and pride for his professional career with the WBA.

The last three years of Shumenov’s career was marred by inactivity, in which he fought only three times due to lack of managerial support, despite him training daily, in top shape and always being ready to fight. Фактически, he sparred almost 400 rounds since his last fight (Май 21, 2016) in anticipation of, първи, a unification fight with Денис Лебедевand then for his fight versus Dorticos. Neither happened, обаче, as boxing politics enabled Lebedev to avoid fighting Shumenov, who defeated BJ Flores и след товаJunior Anthony Wright in back-to-back WBA elimination fights to be Lebedev’s mandatory challenger.

Even Shumenov’s mandatory fight against Dorticos was unnecessarily delayed because Dorticos’ промотор, Caribe Promotions, defaulted its right to promote the fight it had won by purse bid, followed by continuous and numerous date changes from February to March until finally landing on Април 29.

The 33-year-old Shumenov retires as the first and only two-division world champion to date from Kazakhstan, as well as the record-holder for fewest fights needed to win the world light heavyweight championship, 10.

During his 9 1/2 -year pro career, Shumenov defeated four world championsGabriel Кампило, Byron Mitchell, Уилям Joppy и Монтел Грифинas well as world title challengers Epifanio Mendoza, Vlacheslav Uzelkov, Дани Сантяго, Енрике Ornelas, Тамаш Ковач, BJ Flores и Junior Wright.

Former world champion Imamu Mayfield interested in tonight’s JonesGunn clash

Freehold , NJ (Февруари. 17, 2017) – Former IBF World Cruiserwight word champion Imamu Mayfield has thrown his hat in the ring to face the winner of tonight’s Roy Jones, Jr. – Bobby Gunn WBF World Cruiserweight title bout that will shown LIVE on Pay-Per-View.

Mayfield of Freehold , New Jersey ended a eight-year hiatus in losing to then-undefeated heavyweight Dan Pasciolla, but came back to Knockout a game Anthony Caputo Smith in six-rounds on 12 ноември в Atlantic City.

Mayfield’s longtime friend/manager Vinny LaManna is adamant that that Mayfield will have the right style to beat Jones or Gunn.

This is a fight we would love to have. Imamu is in great shape, and after his win over Caputo Smith, he has the confidence that he can beat any cruiserweight out there,” каза LaManna. “Jones has beating lesser guys, and a win over either of them would catapult Imamau back into the rankings and then he can see his way back to the title. The fight would make sense as it would put two older guys together in a fight that would have meaning. I am rooting for Gunn tonight, Bobby is a gentleman. If Bobby can pull the victory off тази вечер, Mayfield vs Gunn would be a big draw in New Jersey because both guys live in the Garden State. The point being is simple, if Imamu can’t beat the likes of Roy Jones’s or Bobby Gunn than who can he beat?”

Caribe Promotions loses rights to Shumenov-Dorticos WBA cruiserweight title fight; TGB Promotions awarded rights

LAS VEGAS (Януари 31, 2017) – The World Boxing Association (WBA) has notified WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu and WBA Interim cruiserweight title-holder Юниер Dorticos, as well as their representatives, that Caribe Promotions has lost its rights to promote the WBA mandated Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight.
Dorticós’ промотор, Caribe Promotions, originally won the Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight rights last November with a winning purse bid of $350,001, which required a fight date в рамките на 90 дни. Although rumored to be held in mid-February in either Miami or Las Vegas, Caribe’s ability and willingness to actually promote the fight came into question in January, 2017. The WBA demanded that Caribe confirm its intentions and even granted Caribe additional time to respond, but Caribe failed to file confirmation of a fight date with the WBA. Because Caribe was unable to confirm its intentions, the WBA had little choice but to award rights to the second-highest purse bidder, Tom Brown’s TGB Promotions.
I last fought 21-ви май and I have been in the gym since June because I was supposed to fight Lebedev in September,” said a terribly frustrated Shumenov. “But he backed out of the fight with me once again and I have been ready to fight since then. I signed a bout agreement to fight Dorticos on February 11thв Маями, but Dorticos and his promoter disappeared after I signed. They’re full of it; all they do is talk. I can’t wait to knock him out. I am waiting on my manager to call me right now to tell me the new fight date with TGB.
Caribe Promotions has been forced to also forfeit its $35,000 purse bid deposit with 10-percent off the top going to the WBA and remainder ($31,500) distributed to Shumenov and Dorticos, съответно, on a 75-25 percent basis due to its failure to promote the fight.
Shumenov (17-2, 11 Нокаута), fighting out of Las Vegas by way of Kazakhstan, fought last Май 21, когато той спря 15-1-1 Junior Wright в 10тата round of their Las Vegas fight for the vacant WBA World cruiserweight title. The WBA had ruled that the Shumenov-Wright winner would be the mandatory challenger for its “Супер” шампион, Лебедев, в рамките на 90 дни, обаче, it later allowed unified cruiserweight titlist Lebedev (against Shumenov’s strong objections) to fight his International Boxing Federation (IBF) mandatory defense against challenger Мурат Gassiev, effectively mandating an eliminator between Shumenov and Dorticos with that winner to fight the winner of Lebedev-Gassiev. Only days prior to the Lebedev-Gassiev title fight, Lebedev was inexplicably allowed to fight Gassiev without defending his WBA title, as only his IBF belt was on the line. Gassiev (24-0) defeated Lebedev (29-3) by way of a 12-round split decision in Moscow to become the IBF cruiserweight world champion and Lebedev remains the WBA Super cruiserweight world champion, at least for now. The WBA is expected to rule on Shumenov’s objections to Lebedev’s fight against Gassiev, Lebedev’s status and whether Lebedev will remain champion having lost his last fight.
Dorticos has made false claims in the media that Shumenov, who had been waiting for the WBA to rule on his petitions to force Lebedev to fight him without further delay, had been avoiding him. It is ironic now that Dorticosown promoter first sought to delay and has now defaulted on the long-awaited confrontation by failing to promote the Shumenov-Dorticos title fight within the WBA deadline.
A former WBA Super light heavyweight world champion, the 33-year-old Shumenov is the first two-division world champion from a Soviet-bloc country.

Bigger, Stronger Heavyweight Version of Junior Wright to be Unleashed against McCreary at Detroit Brawl on January 22, at Masonic Temple in Detroit

Former cruiserweight world title challenger “Ураган” Junior Wright has been hitting the weights hard and will enter the ring for the first time as a heavyweight in his next ring appearance.
Wright (15-2-1, 12 Нокаута) from Evanston, Illinois, expects to come in at a muscular 225 паунда. when he takes on Detroit’s Damon McCreary (15-6, 11 Нокаута) in an eight-round featured bout on promoter Dmitriy Salita’s special Неделя edition of his “Детройт сбиване” series on Януари 22, 2017, at Masonic Temple in Detroit.
Once again sponsored by the Greektown Casino Hotel, билети за “Детройт сбиване” are priced at VIP $123, Box Seats are $80 и $60, Seating is $40, и $20. They are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.com.
“Обучение върви добре,” said Wright. “I’m treating this like another world title fight because at this level anyone could beat you on any day.
Despite a short, 50-борба, amateur career, Wright was a Chicago Golden Gloves winner as an amateur. He was able to drop Beibut Shumenov in May of this year, challenging for the WBA world championship.
The biggest thing I learned in that fight is to relax in the ring. When you’re relaxed, you are more aware in there and can pace yourself a lot better.
Wright’s trainer, Rick Wilson, says the decision to gain 25 паунда. gives the fighter, who he says can still get down to cruiserweight’s 200-lb limit, more career options moving forward.
Junior is like a Holyfield-type of fighter who is a cruiserweight in his early 20s and then grows into a full-fledged heavyweight near his 30s. People like small, agile heavyweights better than the lumbering monsters hugging each other all fight. They make for more exciting fights.
Wilson says because of Wright’s relative lack of experience, the world hasn’t seen the best of him yet.
How many fighters have had two world title fights by their 18th pro fight (the fight against Chakhkiev was for the IBO World Cruiserweight Championship) after having just 50 любителски битки?” he asked. “Plus Junior was knocking everybody out, so he had very few rounds in the bank and went in on short notice. The best of Junior Wright is still to be seen. He’s a very special talent.
In separate eight-rounders will be a pair of recognizable contenders, Detroit fan favorite LanardoPain ServerTyner (30-10-2, 19 Нокаута) and welterweight KO artist BakhtiyarBakha Bullet” Yeyubov (11-0, 10 Нокаута) от Хюстън, Texas, via Aktjubinsk, Kazakhstan will face opponents in separate bouts.
In other scheduled eight-rounders will be transplanted cruiserweight Alexey Zubov (13-1, 8 Нокаута), from Magnitogorsk, Русия, now living in Detroit and Detroit’s all-action bantamweight James Gordon Smith (11-0, 6 Нокаута).
In six-round bouts will be resurgent Detroit welterweight “Мълния” Larry Ventus (7-11-1, 3 Нокаута); and undefeated Toledo super middleweight prospect DeAndre Ware (8-0, 6 Нокаута).
In exciting scheduled four-rounders will be talented, undefeated bantamweight JaricoGreat Lakes KingO’Quinn (4-0, 3 Нокаута); 2016 Olympic alternate and undefeated middleweight Ardreal Holmes (4-0, 2 Нокаута) of Flint; and undefeated Detroit heavyweight and former National Golden Gloves champion Marcus Carter (1-0, 1 KO).
All opponents are, досега, TBA, but matchmaker Dennis Turner is hard at work to make another spectacular night that these shows are known for.
