World amateur champion Mohammad Rabii
To make pro debut at home in main event
Februarie. 18 in Casablanca, Marokko
CASABLANCA, Marokko (Februarie 2, 2017) – Former Interim cruiserweight world champion Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga will provide chief support Februarie 18 for pro-debuting Moroccan amateur boxing sensation Mohammad Rabii op die “Battle of Casablanca” kaart, presented by Nowhere2Hyde, at Complexe de Sportif Mohammed V Arena in Casablanca, Marokko.
Kalenga (22-3, 15 Uitklophoue), fighting out of France by way of The Congo, is currently rated No. 12 deur die World Boxing Association (WBA) en Geen. 16 deur die World Boxing Council (WBC). The knockout artist takes on Garrett “Die Ultimate Warrior” Wilson (17-11-1, 9 Uitklophoue), van Philadelphia, who is a former United States Boxing Association (USBA) and North American Boxing Federation (NABF) kampioen.
In 2014, Kalenga captured the WBA Interim title with a 12-round split decision over 32-1 Mateusz Masternak in Monaco, followed with a successful title defense in Canada against 12-0 Denton Daley by way of a 12ste round technical knockout.
Kalenga has never been in a dull fight. Two of his three career losses have been to current WBA Super cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev (26-2), who Kalenga dropped in the fourth round, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision in Russia, and last June he was stopped for the first time in his seven-year pro career by 20-0 yunier Dorticos in Paris for the Interim WBA strap.
The 23-year-old Rabii defeated 2016 Olimpiese goue medalje Daniyar Yeleussinov in the welterweight division championship finale of the 2015 AIBA World Amateur Championships to capture a gold for his native Morocco. Rabii won a bronze medal at the 2016 Olimpiese Spele in Brasilië, dropping a highly-disputed decision (0-3) in the semifinals to Uzebek boxer Shakhram Giyasov, the eventual silver medalist.
The ultra-charismatic Rabii has reached “rock star” status in Morocco, testament by an average of 6-million Moroccans viewing each of Rabbi’s Olympic matches on Arryadia Television. “We are very excited to work with our television partners, Arryadia, on our February 18ste show as the first of five shows in 2017 featuring Mohammed Rabii,” promotor Gary Hyde gesê. “Rabii has the entire nation of Morocco behind him and he will be challenging for top welterweight honors in no time at all.”
Rabii will take on veteran Hungarian boxer Adam “Stout seun” Mate (24-10, 17 Uitklophoue) in the six-round main event.
Also in action on “Battle of Casablanca” will be former World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Organization (IBO) world featherweight champion, Simpiwe Vetyeka (29-3, 17 Uitklophoue), who is world ranked No. 4 deur die WBA, Moenie. 6 deur Die Ring magazine, en Geen. 7 deur die WBC. The gifted South African faces undefeated Hungarian prospect David Nerna (8-0, 8 Uitklophoue) in 'n 10-ronde bout.
Netherlands light middleweight Gevorg Khatchikian (24-2, 12 Uitklophoue) will also be in action against Ugandan Med “Kabona” Sebyala (16-8-1. 13 Uitklophoue) in another 10-rounder. Khatchikian, who will be fighting as a 154-pounder for the first time as a professional, has only lost twice as a pro, both to present super middleweight world champions, James Degale (IBF) en Gilberto Ramirez (WBO).
Hyde manages Rabii, Kalanga and Vetyeka.
Tickets are now on sale for the Februarie. 18 show in Casablanca.

Warriors Boxing Congratulates Murat Gassiev for Title Winning Victory and Issues Challenge to the Entire Boxing World

Skryf 'n opmerking
‘Explain to me why Denis Lebedev is still world champion.’
Warriors Boxing and Ural Boxing wish to congratulate the fighter they co-promote, brand-new IBF Cruiserweight World Champion Murat “Yster” Gassiev, for his title-winning victory on December 3 against Denis Lebedev at the Khodynka Ice Palace in Moscow, Rusland.
In an entertaining fight, Gassiev (24-0, 17 Uitklophoue) van Vladikavkaz, Rusland, dropped his countryman Lebedev in the fifth round and won a split decision by scores of 116-112 en 116-111 against a score of 114-113 for the now-former champ.
In losing, Lebedev remained the WBA World Champion, as that belt was not on the line in the fight… which is where Warriors’ challenge to the boxing world lies.
“I challenge anyone in the boxing world to give me a logical explanation why Denis Lebedev was allowed to keep his WBA title after losing,” gesê Leon Margules, President van Warriors Boxing. “Neither fighter was over the cruiserweight limit. This was a unified champion defending his titles. It’s absurd and it sets a dangerous precedent in boxing. Why would any unified champion ever put all their belts on the line again if they could keep one or two, even if they lose?”
The pair were supposed to meet for both the WBA and IBF belts, but somehow less than a week before the fight, the WBA was convinced to allow this highly irregular move, which allowed Lebedev to remain WBA Super World Cruiserweight Champion, wen of verloor, above WBA “gereelde” World Champion Beibut Shumenov and WBA “Interim” World Champion Yunier Dorticos.
“We went along with this travesty and fought anyway, but only because Lebedev’s team threatened to pull the fight if we didn’t. It’s a ridiculous situation and I want the boxing world to know what went down here.”
Margules says Lebedev’s camp are now using the Russian media to claim Gassiev is refusing a rematch.
“Let me set that straight right now. We would LOVE to fight Lebedev again. We’ll beat him even more easily this time. But only if he actually puts the WBA belt on the line, the one my guy has already won from him in the eyes of everyone but the sanctioning body.”
Boxing politics aside, Margules and his team say they are happy with the way the 23-year-old Gassiev looked in going 12 rounds for the first time in his life.
“Murat fulfilled the promise he has shown throughout his ascension to the top of the division,” said Margules. “He was in his first 12-rounder and he kept his composure. He didn’t blow his energy when he had the guy down in the fifth. And he didn’t panic when the champion, who is a very tough guy, had a few good rounds in the middle of the fight. I am very happy to be promoting a terrific fighter like him.”

“He reminds me of a young Rocky Marciano,” said Warriors Boxing’s COO Luis DeCubas. “He’s like a tank coming forward that you can’t stop. He will get to you eventually. He’s a star in this sport. I am sure the Shumenov/Dorticos winner would much rather fight the real unified champion Gassiev, instead of the loser Lebedev. These types of situations really hurt our sport.”

Team Shumenov responds to Lebedev vs. Gassiev world title fight announcement

Skryf 'n opmerking
LAS VEGAS (Augustus 17,, 2016) – Team Shumenov believes it is worth reviewing recent history enlight of the recent announcement that WBA Super/IBF cruiserweight world champion Denis Lebedev will defend against Murat Gassiev in late November or early December in Russia: A condition for allowing Lebedev to fight IBF cruiserweight champion Victor Emilio Ramirez Mei 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu within 120 dae. (Lebedev hasn’t made a mandatory defense since April 10, 2015.) Shumenov has done everything to make that fight, while Lebedev has done nothing but run from his mandatory title fight. When it first became obvious in June that Lebedev was trying to avoid his mandated WBA title fight, Shumenov repeatedly requested that the WBA order a purse bid.
Lebedev ignored the WBA and then recently sought, after the WBA deadline had passed, a special permit allowing him to fight Gassiev, which Shumenov officially objected to within 48 uur. WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion yunier Dorticos has also objected. At this present time, al, Team Shumenov is still waiting to hear the WBA’s ruling in terms of stripping Lebedev if he decides to fight Gassiev instead of Shumenov.
It really is very simple. Shumenov wants to fight Lebedev, who is doing everything he can to avoid it. If Lebedev doesn’t care to meet his obligations and conditions of his prior special permit, he should relinquish his title. Lebedev and his people need to rejoin the rest of us in the real world and stop claiming that Shumenov has not been pushing for this fight.
According to a recent report, Lebedev’s camp members erroneously reported that, “Shumenov is not exactly pushing the issue” (to fight Lebedev next).

Team Shumenov petitions WBA to declare purse bid for mandatory title fight vs. Lebedev or strip Lebedev of his world cruiserweight title belt

Skryf 'n opmerking
LAS VEGAS (Julie 22, 2016) – It has been more than a month since World Boxing Association (WBA) world cruiserweight champion Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 Uitklophoue), based on the much publicized WBA Cruiserweight Tournament rules and regulations, petitioned the WBA to either declare a purse bid for a title fight between WBA Super cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev, or strip Lebedev of his title belt for being non-compliant.
Verlede Julie, Shumenov defeated B.J. Blomme by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the WBA mandatory challenger for Lebedev, who hasn’t fought a mandatory defense since April 10, 2015.
The WBA issued a resolution this past April that Lebedev, wat verslaan het Victor Emelio Ramirez in May to also become International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion, must fight Shumenov within 120 dae of the latter’s May 21, 2016 knockout victory over Junior Wright.
On record for making changes to insure only one world champion in each division, incredibly, the WBA presently has 38 different world title belt holders in only 17 different weight classes. Only three WBA divisions have one world champion – super liggewig, lightweight and light flyweight – and eight have three world titlists, including its cruiserweight division, which presently has world champions in Lebedev, Shumenov and Interim champion yunier Dorticos, who is the WBA second mandatory challenger.
In an apparent public relations move, the WBA has suddenly declared this month a rash of mandatory defenses, egter, declaring and actually making these title fights are two different things, as Shumenov has unfortunately learned. The WBA should have ordered a Lebedev vs. Shumenov purse bid on June 21, 2016, when the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement, but the WBA failed to do so. When Shumenov repeated his request for a purse bid in June, the WBA failed once again to act.
WBA Rule D: Purse Bids
1. Call For Purse Bid. Bout participants shall reach an agreement on holding the bout no later than ninety (90) days before the expiration of the mandatory period. To confirm an agreement has been reached, the WBA must receive acceptable bout contracts signed by the boxers certifying they have reached terms for the bout. If no agreement has been reached, the Championships Committee, with the approval of the President, can call for Purse bid. A boxer may also request a purse bid at any time.
Lebedev’s promoter, Andrei Ryabinsky, has been quoted in stories about having a deal in place for his fighter to defend his IBF title first. In effect, the WBA is allowing Lebedev to hold the WBA Super cruiserweight title belt hostage, leveraging it against his IBF crown. Shumenov, who is a former WBA Super light heavyweight champion, has now proudly worn the WBA belt around his waist for a total of nearly five years.
“I was looking forward to fighting Lebedev and I don’t understand his unwillingness and refusal to step in the ring with me,” Shumenov gesê.
Team Shumenov is extremely disappointed in the WBA’s failure to act on making the fight with Lebedev that it mandated, in addition to being discouraged by the WBA’s failure, after several requests had been made, to either set a purse bid date or strip Lebedev of his world title belt. Not knowing if or when the WBA is finally going to rule has left Shumenov unable to book any fights. The WBA’s failure to enforce its own purse bid rule, or strip Lebedev, has unfairly prevented Shumenov from earning a living while at the peak of his pro boxing career.
Shumenov is the only native Kazakh to be a two-division world champion. Now a resident of Las Vegas, he also represented his native Kazakhstan at the 2004 Olympics in Greece.

WBA cruiserweight world champion wants
Denis Lebedev fight to happen this summer

LAS VEGAS (Junie 5, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) cruiserweight wêreldkampioen Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 Uitklophoue) stopped No. 11-Rated Junior “Hurricane” Wright (15-2-1, 12 Uitklophoue) in die 10ste ronde van hul Mei 21sttitle fight to remain mandatory challenger for unified WBA Super/International Boxing Federation (IBF) cruiserweight wêreldkampioen Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 Uitklophoue). The WBA mandated a Lebedev-Shumenov fight within 120 dae of May 21.

Shumenov, 32, is 'n 2004 Kazakhstan Olympian who lives and trains in Las Vegas. During his 9-year professional boxing career, Shumenov has defeated four world champions – Gabriel Campillo, Byron Mitchell, William Joppy en Montell Griffin – sowel as sewe wêreldtitel uitdagers. Hy is 8-2 (4 Uitklophoue) in die wêreld titel gevegte
Below find a one-on-one interview with Shumenov:
(Photo by Yumio Yamada)
Evaluate your performance against Junior Wright in your last fight?
BS: “I am 100-percent a completely different fighter than in my previous fight against B.J. Blomme. Maar, at the beginning of this fight, I had a little bit of ring rust. The inactivity is really hard for me. I would like to be busier and fight more often. I already started training and doing light exercises, right after my fight on May 21st. In my next fight, I will be even more different fighter against Lebedev.”
How does it feel to be the only fighter from your country to be 2-division world champion?
BS: “I don’t really think about those things. My main goal is to unify all of the titles and fight all the best fighters.”
You’ve always wanted to unify as a way of determining who the best or real champ is. In 20-11, you almost fought a unification as WBA light heavyweight but then-WBO champion Juergen Braehmer who suddenly went home a few days before the scheduled unification fight. How does it feel to know that you will be fighting Lebedev for WBA super and IBF cruiserweight titles within 120 dae vanaf Mei 21?
BS: “This has always been my goal – to unify – and I’m motivated even more knowing that I am going to fight for those two titles very soon.”
Do you think a deal will be made between your manager, Al Haymon and Lebedev’s promoter, Andrei Ryabinsky, or will it go to purse bid?
BS: “It doesn’t concern me, whether it goes to a purse bid, or where the location is. Egter, I hope the parties can get the best deal worked out for everyone involved.”
If Lebedev doesn’t want to fight you and he relinquishes his WBA super title belt, where do you go from there, fight second-mandatory challenger Yunier Dorticos?
BS: “I have heard rumors that Lebedev doesn’t want to fight me and, if this is true and he relinquishes his WBA Super belt, then I want to fight Dorticos because every organization should only have one champion in each division. I hope this isn’t the case, as I have been waiting to fight Lebedev since I won the WBA interim title (mandatory) back in July of 2015. The WBA has ordered us to fight within 120 dae of May 21st. Ek is gereed, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, ook.”

World champion Beibut Shumenov to defend title vs. Junior Wright this Saturday night in Las Vegas

Skryf 'n opmerking
LAS VEGAS (Mei 18, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Tussentydse Cruiserweight wêreldkampioen Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 Uitklophoue) makes his first title defense Saterdag nag (Mei 21) against WBA No. 11-Rated Junior “Hurricane” Wright (15-1-1, 12 Uitklophoue) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight Saterdag nag,” Shumenov gesê, “but I wish that I could fight more often. I’ve been ready since January. Every training session I gain new knowledge. I am a completely different fighter than in my last fight.”
Shumenov’s last fight was back in July, in which he defeated B.J. Blomme (31-1-1, 20 Uitklophoue) by 12-round unanimous decision in Las Vegas to capture the vacant WBA Interim title, making the former WBA light heavyweight champion Shumenov the first professional boxer from Kazakhstan to be a two-division world champion.
By becoming the WBA Interim cruiserweight champion, Shumenov also became the No. 1 ranked mandatory challenger for WBA Super cruiserweight titlist Denis Lebedev (28-2, 21 Uitklophoue), who also fights Saterdag in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) kampioen Victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ramirez (22-2-1, 17 Uitklophoue) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 dae. The WBA, egter, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “gereelde” cruiserweight world title fight Vrydag night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos en Geen. 5 Youri Kalenga (since upgraded to No. 3), especially after announcing that it would work this year to have only one world champion in each weight class.
Shumenov, natuurlik, is risking his mandatory position by fighting Wright, the former 5-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion. “I need to stay active,” Shumenov explained why he’s taking such a risk. “Elke stryd, I gain experience and it also helps me develop my fighting skills.”
The 12-round Shumenov vs. Wright title fight is on the non-televised portion of The Cosmopolitan show.

Beibut Shumenov maak geskiedenis weer in ring

SPAN SHUMENOV: (L-R) Assistent afrigter Rodney Crisler, wêreld cruiserweight kampioen Beibut Shumenov, Chingis Shumenov, hoof afrigter Ismael Salas, cut-man Jacob “Steek” Duran en assistent afrigter Jeff Grmoja.

 

LAS VEGAS (Augustus. 3, 2015) – Nuutgekroonde World Boxing Association (WBA) Tussentydse cruiserweight kampioen Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 Uitklophoue) het onlangs geskiedenis gemaak weer, verslaan B.J. Blomme (31-2-1, 20 Uitklophoue) deur middel van 'n 12-round eenparig besluit Premier Boxing Champions reeks lektor, wat Julie uitgesaai 25ste op NBCSN lewe uit die Palms in Las Vegas.

Shumenov, 31, is die verpligte uitdager vir WBA “gereelde” cruiserweight kampioen Denis Lebedev (27-1, 20 Uitklophoue, 1 NC), van Rusland, sowel as die eerste Kazakhstan inheems aan 'n wêreld titel in twee verskillende gewig klasse vang nadat die WBA lig swaargewig kampioen van al 2010-2014.

Boxing broeikas Kazakhstan het vyf ander wêreldkampioene geproduseer gedurende die afgelope kwarteeu: 1990 WBC super veergewigtitel Aratoly Alexandrov, 2000 WBC swaargewig Oleg “Big O” Maskaev, 2001-2003 – IBF cruiserweight Vassily “Die Tiger” Jirov, 2010-2012 WBA super middelgewig Dimitri Sartison en die huidige WBA Super / WBC Tussentydse middelgewigtitel Gennadi Golovkin.

In sy vuis historiese stryd terug in 2010, Shumenov verslaan verdedig WBA lig swaargewig kampioen Gabriel Campillo viaa 12-ronde besluit om die rekord vir geringste-gevegte vestig, 10, om wêreldkampioen van 'n groot organisasie in die 175-pond-afdeling.

“Ek is baie trots om 'n rekord in die boks stel,” 2004 Olimpiese Shumenov gesê. “Ek is geëerd om die eerste vegter van my land wees om wêreldkampioen geword in twee afdelings. Ek wil graag my bestuurder bedank, Al HAYMON, vir my gegee het hierdie geleentheid. Lebedev is die belangrikste teiken en, as ek slaag die toets, Ek wil die beste vegters veg in die afdeling cruiserweight.”

Shumenov het deur 'n styl transformasie, onder die leiding van die befaamde Kubaanse hoofafrigter Ismael Salas, wat saam met die atletiek Kazakh gewerk om hom van 'n aggressiewe verander, maal vegter in 'n meer volledige, alles rondom bokser. Shumenov oorbluf Flores, wat Shumenov verwag om hom en ruil stoot om te kom, wat die natuurlike groter sou gegee het, sterker Flores 'n voordeel. Plaas, Shumenov meesterlik doos sy pad na die oorwinning, met behulp van die sywaartse beweging, hoeke en posisionering te Flores frustreer in ondoeltreffend aggressie, wat lei tot 'n verskeidenheid van balans af stoot en mis.

Na afloop van die stryd, Shumenov verduidelik die verrassende verandering het deur na die opleiding met Salas sedert Januarie. “Ek is nog steeds in die leerproses. Soos my afrigter sê, daar is geen perke, en ek het nog steeds nie volmaak wat hy onderrig my. Dit kom eintlik neer op 'n baie harde werk, herhalings van spier-geheue. My voetwerk vir hierdie stryd het gekom van my afrigter. Ek was gelukkig seëvierende te wees, maar ek sien nog myself om 'n baie beter, algehele, as 'n volledige bokser.”
(L-R) Shumenov & Salas

Salas lei ook World Boxing Council (WBC) Wêreld liggewigkampioen Jorge Linares (39-3, 26 Uitklophoue), bykomend tot die hantering van die verlede en die huidige wêreld kampioene soos Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriokis Gamboa, Danny Green, en Jesse Vargas.

“Daar is 'n proses vir almal in terme van bio-meganika,” Salas kommentaar. “Daar is spesialiteite van opleiding wat ek leer wat nie dikwels gebruik word in die boks, spesifieke oefeninge vir die dinamika van beweging. Ek het oorspronklik geleer om afrigter in die Kubaanse stelsel, wat soortgelyk is aan die Sowjet-stelsel in wat Beibut eerste geleer, maar ek het ook al oor die hele wêreld leer verskillende metodes van opleiding. Dit neem nog tyd vir 'n wêreldklas-vegter soos Beibut, wat wêreldkampioen was as 'n professionele, en hulle het baie amateur wedstryde. Jorge Linares was 'n twee-keer wêreldkampioen voordat ons begin om saam te werk. Beibut is om daar. Hy is steeds nie op sy volle potensiaal, nou, slegs met behulp van 40-50 persent van sy gereedskap.”

Shumenov is 'n prokureur en suksesvolle sakeman wat vyf tale praat. Hoewel hy 'n twee-keer wêreldkampioen, Hy is nog steeds 'n student van die boks, en Salas is sy hoogs gerespekteerde professor.

“Hy is (Salas) nederig, maar 'n genie,” Shumenov dring. “Hy vra en luister na my mening. Ons konsentreer op grondbeginsels en hy verduidelik alles vir my. Ons span het 'n daaglikse roetine in die kamp waar ons ons kennis gedeel na elke oefensessie. Die vier van ons (Shumenov, Salas, Grmjoja en Crisler) het een.”

 

En die gevolg was 'n Tweede Wêreldoorlog titel.
