World amateur champion Mohammad Rabii
To make pro debut at home in main event
Feb. 18 in Casablanca, Morocco
CASABLANCA, Morocco (Pebrero 2, 2017) – Former Interim cruiserweight world champion Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga will provide chief support Pebrero 18 for pro-debuting Moroccan amateur boxing sensation Mohammad Rabii sa ibabaw sa mga “Battle of Casablanca” card, presented by Nowhere2Hyde, at Complexe de Sportif Mohammed V Arena in Casablanca, Morocco.
Kalenga (22-3, 15 KOs), fighting out of France by way of The Congo, is currently rated No. 12 sa World Boxing Association (WBA) ug ang No. 16 sa World Boxing Council (WBC). The knockout artist takes on Garrett “Ang Ultimate Warrior” Wilson (17-11-1, 9 KOs), sa Filadelfia, who is a former United States Boxing Association (USBA) and North American Boxing Federation (NABF) champion.
Sa 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 12th 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 Olympic gold medalist 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 Olympic Games sa Brazil, 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 18th show as the first of five shows in 2017 featuring Mohammed Rabii,” promoter Gary Hyde miingon. “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 Adan “Bad Boy” Mate (24-10, 17 KOs) 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 KOs), who is world ranked No. 4 pinaagi sa WBA, Buhata Dili. 6 pinaagi sa Ang Ring magazine, ug ang No. 7 pinaagi sa WBC. The gifted South African faces undefeated Hungarian prospect David Nerna (8-0, 8 KOs) sa usa ka 10-round bout.
Netherlands light middleweight Gevorg Khatchikian (24-2, 12 KOs) will also be in action against Ugandan Med “Kabona” Sebyala (16-8-1. 13 KOs) 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) ug Gilberto Ramirez (WBO).
Hyde manages Rabii, Kalanga and Vetyeka.

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

Leave sa usa ka comment
‘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 “Iron” Gassiev, for his title-winning victory on December 3 against Denis Lebedev at the Khodynka Ice Palace in Moscow, Russia.
In an entertaining fight, Gassiev (24-0, 17 KOs) sa Vladikavkaz, Russia, dropped his countryman Lebedev in the fifth round and won a split decision by scores of 116-112 ug 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,” miingon Leon Margules, Presidente sa 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, modaog o mawad-an sa, above WBA “Regular” 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

Leave sa usa ka comment
LAS VEGAS (August 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 sa Mayo 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu within 120 adlaw. (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 mga oras. WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion yunier Dorticos has also objected. At this present time, bisan, 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

Leave sa usa ka comment
LAS VEGAS (Hulyo 22, 2016) – It has been more than a month since World Boxing Association (WBA) world cruiserweight champion Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs), 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.
Niadtong Hulyo, Shumenov defeated B.J. Bulak 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, who defeated Victor Emelio Ramirez in May to also become International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion, must fight Shumenov within 120 adlaw 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 lightweight, 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, Apan, 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 miingon.
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 (Hunyo 5, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 KOs) stopped No. 11-rated Junior “Hurricane” Wright (15-2-1, 12 KOs) sa 10th round sa ilang Mayo 21sttitle fight to remain mandatory challenger for unified WBA Super/International Boxing Federation (IBF) cruiserweight world champion Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 KOs). The WBA mandated a Lebedev-Shumenov fight within 120 adlaw of May 21.

Shumenov, 32, mao ang usa ka 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 ug Montell Griffin – ingon man usab sa pito ka world title challengers. Siya mao ang 8-2 (4 KOs) sa kalibutan sa title away
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. Bulak. Apan, 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. Sa 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 adlaw gikan sa Mayo 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. Apan, 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 adlaw of May 21st. Ako andam, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, usab.”

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

Leave sa usa ka comment
LAS VEGAS (Mayo 18, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim Cruiserweight World champion Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) makes his first title defense karong Sabado sa gabii (Mayo 21) against WBA No. 11-rated Junior “Hurricane” Wright (15-1-1, 12 KOs) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight karong Sabado sa gabii,” Shumenov miingon, “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. Bulak (31-1-1, 20 KOs) 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 KOs), who also fights karong Sabado in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) champion Victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ramirez (22-2-1, 17 KOs) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 adlaw. The WBA, Apan, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “regular” cruiserweight world title fight karong Biyernes night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos ug ang No. 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, siyempre, 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. “Ang matag away, 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.

Ramirez is the other fighter I’ve really wanted to fight and my manager tried to make a fight between us, usab.
“Ako na sa gym sukad sa akong katapusan nga away, sa pagbansay sa lisud nga sa paghingpit sa akong mga kahanas. Karon, I am a completely different fighter since I fought last July. My team is extremely happy and confident that I can beat all of the other world cruiserweight champions.”

“Ang kahigayunan sa pagpakig-away sa mga mananaog sa Lebedev / Ramirez diha sa usa ka dako nga away unification lang nahitabo sa niini nga tuig ug sa wala ko nga kapilian balik sa diha nga ako miuyon sa sinugdanan sa pagpakig-away Wlodarczyk balik sa Disyembre ug ako dili makahimo sa daan unsa ang mahitabo sa akong pamilya sa personal,” 32-year-old Shumenov said. “Ako walay problema sa nakig-away Wlodarczyk sa umaabot, but only after I fight the Lebedev-Ramirez unification winner.

TEAM SHUMENOV: (L-R) Assistant trainer Rodney Crisler, sa kalibutan cruiserweight champion Beibut Shumenov, Chingis Shumenov, ulo trainer Ismael Salas, cut-tawo nga si Jacob “Stitch” Duran ug assistant trainer Jeff Grmoja.

 

LAS VEGAS (Aug. 3, 2015) – Ang bag-ong gikoronahan World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim cruiserweight champion Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) bag-o lang nga gihimo sa kasaysayan sa makausa pag-usab, pagpildi B.J. Bulak (31-2-1, 20 KOs) pinaagi sa usa ka 12-round unanimous decision nga ingon sa Premier Boxing Champions sunod-sunod nga headliner, nga gisibya Hulyo 25th sa NBCSN mabuhi gikan sa palma sa Las Vegas.

Boxing hotbed Kazakhstan nga og lima pa ka laing world champions sa miaging quarter-siglo: 1990 WBC super featherweight Aratoly Alexandrov, 2000 WBC heavyweight Oleg “Big Oh” Maskaev, 2001-2003 – IBF cruiserweight Vassily “Ang Tigre” Jirov, 2010-2012 WBA super middleweight Dimitri Sartison ug naghari WBA Super / WBC middleweight Interim Gennady Golovkin.

Sa iyang kamot nga makasaysayanong away balik sa 2010, Shumenov gipildi defending WBA light heavyweight champion Gabriel Campillo viaa 12-round decision sa pagtukod sa rekord alang sa labing diyutay-away, 10, nga mahimong world champion sa usa ka mayor nga organisasyon sa 175-pound division.

“Kaayo ako mapahitas-on sa sa sa sa usa sa rekord sa boxing,” 2004 Olympian Shumenov miingon. “Ako pinasidunggan nga mahimong unang fighter gikan sa akong nasud nga mahimong world champion sa duha ka dibisyon sa. Gusto ko nga magpasalamat sa akong manager, Al HAYMON, sa paghatag kanako niini nga oportunidad. Lebedev mao ang nag-unang target ug, kon ako nahinabo nga pagsulay, Gusto ko nga sa pagpakig-away sa labing maayo nga mga manggugubat sa cruiserweight division.”

Shumenov miadto pinaagi sa usa ka estilo kausaban, ubos sa direksyon sa sikat nga Cuban ulo coach Ismael Salas, nga nagtrabaho uban sa mga athletic Kazakh sa pag-usab kaniya gikan sa usa ka agresibo nga, magagaling fighter ngadto sa usa ka labaw nga bug-os nga, sa tanan-sa tibuok nga boksidor. Shumenov nakalibog sa Flores, nga gilauman Shumenov nga moabut kaniya ug kinumo, nga gihatag sa mga natural nga mas dako, mas lig-on Flores usa ka bentaha. Inay, Shumenov hanas nagpugong sa iyang dalan ngadto sa kadaugan, sa paggamit sa lateral kalihukan, anggulo ug positioning aron sa pagpapakyas sa Flores ngadto sa dili epektibo agresyon, nga miresulta sa usa ka gubat sa off-balance kinumo ug nasipyat.

Human sa away, Shumenov mipasabut sa katingad kausaban siya miadto pinaagi sa human pagbansay uban sa Salas sukad Enero. “Ako pa sa pagkat-on sa proseso. Sama sa akong trainer nag-ingon, walay mga limitasyon, ug ako sa gihapon wala mahingpit sa unsay iyang pagtudlo kanako. Kini sa tinuod nga moabut ngadto sa usa ka daghan sa lisud nga trabaho, pagbalik-balik sa mga kaunoran sa panumduman. Akong footwork alang sa niini nga away gikan sa akong trainer. Nalipay ako nga sa pagkamadaugon apan ako gihapon sa akong kaugalingon sa pagkuha sa usa ka daghan nga mas maayo, kinatibuk-ang, ingon sa usa ka bug-os nga boksingero.”
(L-R) Shumenov & Salas

Salas usab nagbansay World Boxing Council (WBC) World Champion Lightweight Jorge Linares (39-3, 26 KOs), dugang pa sa pagdumala sa nangagi ug sa karon nga kalibutan champions sama sa Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriokis Gamboa, Danny Green, ug Jesse Vargas.

“Adunay usa ka proseso alang sa tanan sa mga termino sa bio-mekaniko,” Salas mikomentaryo. “Adunay mga specialties sa pagbansay ako sa pagtudlo nga wala gigamit kanunay diha sa boxing, piho nga mga pagbansay-bansay alang sa mga sitwasyon sa motion. Ako nakakat-on sa orihinal nga coach sa Cuban nga sistema, nga mao ang susama sa Sobyet sistema nga Beibut unang nakakat, apan ako na usab sa tanan nga sa ibabaw sa kalibutan nga pagkat-on sa lain-laing mga pamaagi sa pagbansay-bansay. Kini pa nagkinahanglag panahon alang sa usa ka kalibutan-klase nga fighter nga sama Beibut, kinsa world champion sama sa usa ka propesyonal nga, ug may daghang mga amateur duwa. Jorge Linares mao ang usa ka duha ka-time world champion pa kita nagsugod sa pagtrabaho sa tingub. Beibut anam didto. Siya wala pa gihapon sa iyang hingpit nga potensyal, karon, sa paggamit sa lamang 40-50 porsiyento sa iyang mga himan.”

Shumenov mao ang usa ka abogado ug malampuson nga negosyante nga nagasulti lima ka pinulongan. Bisan tuod siya usa ka duha ka-time world champion, siya pa sa usa ka estudyante sa boxing, ug Salas mao ang iyang kaayo tinahod nga propesor.

“Siya (Salas) mapainubsanon apan ang usa ka katalagsaon,” Shumenov nasikop. “Siya nangutana ug mamati sa akong opinyon. Kita-focus sa mga sukaranan ug mipasabut siya sa tanang butang sa akon. Ang atong team sa usa ka adlaw-adlaw nga rutina sa kampo nga kami mipakigbahin atong kahibalo human sa matag sesyon sa pagbansay sa. Ang upat ka kanato (Shumenov, Salas, Grmjoja ug Crisler) nahimong usa.”

 

Ug ang resulta mao ang usa ka ikaduha nga world title.
