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

‘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 “Besi” Gassiev, for his title-winning victory on December 3 against Denis Lebedev at the Khodynka Ice Palace in Moscow, Rusia.
In an entertaining fight, Gassiev (24-0, 17 KOs) Vladikavkaz, Rusia, dropped his countryman Lebedev in the fifth round and won a split decision by scores of 116-112 dan 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 fightwhich is where Warriorschallenge 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,” berkata Leon Margules, Presiden Warriors Tinju. “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, menang atau kalah, above WBARegularWorld 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

LAS VEGAS (Ogos 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 pada Mei 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu within 120 hari. (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 jam. WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion yunier Dorticos has also objected. At this present time, walaupun, 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

LAS VEGAS (Julai 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.
Julai lalu, Shumenov defeated B.J. Bunga 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 hari 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 ringan, lightweight and light flyweightand 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, Walau bagaimanapun, 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 berkata.
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.

Denis Lebedev fight to happen this summer

LAS VEGAS (Jun 5, 2016) – Persatuan Tinju Dunia (WBA) cruiserweight juara dunia Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 KOs) stopped No. 11-rated Junior “Hurricane” Wright (15-2-1, 12 KOs) dalam 10ke- pusingan Mei mereka 21sttitle fight to remain mandatory challenger for unified WBA Super/International Boxing Federation (IBF) cruiserweight juara dunia Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 KOs).

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. Bunga. Tetapi, 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. Dalam 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 hari dari Mei 21?
BS: “This has always been my goalto unifyand 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. Walau bagaimanapun, 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 hari of May 21st. Saya bersedia, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, juga.”

Bunga (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.

The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 hari.

Beibut Shumenov mencipta sejarah sekali lagi di gelanggang

TEAM SHUMENOV: (L-R) Penolong jurulatih Rodney Crisler, juara cruiserweight dunia Beibut Shumenov, Chingis Shumenov, Ketua jurulatih Ismael Salas, cut-lelaki Yakub “Stitch” Duran dan penolong jurulatih Jeff Grmoja.

 

LAS VEGAS (Ogos. 3, 2015) – Yang baru dinobatkan Persatuan Tinju Dunia (WBA) Juara cruiserweight Interim Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) baru-baru ini mencipta sejarah sekali lagi, mengalahkan B.J. Bunga (31-2-1, 20 KOs) melalui keputusan sebulat suara 12 pusingan sebagai Premier Boxing Champions siri yg terkenal, yang disiarkan Julai 25ke- pada NBCSN hidup dari The Palms di Las Vegas.

Shumenov, 31, menjadi pencabar mandatori bagi WBA “tetap” juara cruiserweight Denis Lebedev (27-1, 20 KOs, 1 NC), Rusia, serta Kazakhstan pertama berasal menguasai gelaran dunia dalam dua kelas berat yang berbeza telah menjadi WBA heavyweight cahaya juara dari 2010-2014.

Boxing sarang Kazakhstan telah menghasilkan lima juara dunia lain semasa suku abad yang lalu: 1990 WBC super kelas bulu Aratoly Alexandrov, 2000 WBC heavyweight Oleg “Big O” Maskaev, 2001-2003 – IBF cruiserweight Vassily “Harimau” Jirov, 2010-2012 WBA super middleweight Dimitri Sartison dan bertahan WBA Super / middleweight Interim WBC Gennady Golovkin.

Dalam perjuangan bersejarah penumbuknya kembali 2010, Shumenov menewaskan penyandang juara WBA cahaya heavyweight Gabriel Campillo viaa keputusan 12 pusingan untuk mewujudkan rekod paling sedikit-pergaduhan, 10, untuk menjadi juara dunia organisasi utama dalam bahagian 175-paun.

“Saya amat bangga untuk menetapkan satu lagi rekod dalam tinju,” 2004 Olympian Shumenov berkata. “Saya bangga menjadi pejuang pertama dari negara saya untuk menjadi juara dunia dalam dua bahagian. Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada pengurus saya, Al HAYMON, kerana memberi saya peluang ini. Lebedev adalah sasaran utama dan, jika saya lulus ujian yang, Saya mahu untuk melawan pejuang yang terbaik di bahagian cruiserweight itu.”

Shumenov telah melalui transformasi gaya, di bawah arahan terkenal Cuba ketua jurulatih Ismael Salas, yang bekerja dengan Kazakh olahraga untuk mengubah dia dari yang agresif, pengisaran pejuang ke dalam yang lebih lengkap, semua-sekitar peninju. Shumenov bingung Flores, yang dijangka Shumenov datang kepadanya dan pertukaran tumbukan, yang akan diberikan secara semula jadi lebih besar, kuat Flores kelebihan. Sebaliknya, Shumenov masterfully berkotak perjalanan ke kemenangan, menggunakan pergerakan sisi, sudut dan kedudukan untuk menggagalkan Flores ke dalam pencerobohan tidak berkesan, mengakibatkan pelbagai tumbukan kira-kira dan tersasar.

Selepas perjuangan, Shumenov menjelaskan perubahan yang mengejutkan beliau lalui selepas latihan dengan Salas sejak Januari. “Saya masih dalam proses pembelajaran. Seperti jurulatih saya mengatakan, tiada had, dan saya masih belum menyempurnakan apa yang dia mengajar saya. Ia benar-benar turun ke banyak kerja keras, ulangan memori otot. Gerak kaki saya untuk perjuangan ini datang dari jurulatih saya. Saya gembira kerana menang tetapi saya masih melihat diri saya semakin banyak yang lebih baik, keseluruhan, sebagai peninju lengkap.”

(L-R) Shumenov & Salas

Salas juga melatih Majlis Tinju Dunia (WBC) Juara Dunia Ringan Jorge Linares (39-3, 26 KOs), di samping melaksanakan juara dunia masa lalu dan masa kini seperti Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriokis Gamboa, Danny Green, dan Jesse Vargas.

“Terdapat proses untuk semua orang dari segi bio-mekanik,” Salas komen. “Terdapat kepakaran latihan mengajar saya yang tidak digunakan kerap dalam tinju, latihan khusus untuk dinamik gerakan. Saya asalnya belajar untuk jurulatih dalam sistem Cuba, yang serupa dengan sistem Soviet di mana Beibut pertama belajar, tetapi saya juga telah di seluruh dunia belajar kaedah yang berbeza latihan. Ia masih memerlukan masa bagi seorang pejuang bertaraf dunia seperti Beibut, yang telah menjadi juara dunia sebagai seorang profesional, dan mempunyai ramai perlawanan amatur. Jorge Linares merupakan juara dunia dua kali sebelum kita mula bekerja bersama-sama. Beibut semakin ada. Dia masih tidak pada potensi sepenuhnya, sekarang, menggunakan hanya 40-50 peratus daripada alat itu.”

Shumenov adalah seorang peguam dan ahli perniagaan yang berjaya yang bercakap lima bahasa. Walaupun dia seorang juara dunia dua kali, dia masih seorang pelajar tinju, dan Salas adalah profesor sangat dihormati beliau.

“Dia (Salas) merendah diri tetapi genius,” Shumenov menegaskan. “Beliau meminta dan mendengarkan pendapat saya. Kami menumpukan perhatian kepada asas-asas dan dia menjelaskan segala-galanya kepada saya. Pasukan kami mempunyai rutin harian di kem di mana kita berkongsi pengetahuan kita selepas setiap sesi latihan. Kami berempat (Shumenov, Salas, Grmjoja dan Crisler) menjadi satu.”

 

Dan hasilnya adalah kejuaraan dunia kedua.
