World amateur champion Mohammad Rabii
To make pro debut at home in main event
Februari. 18 in Casablanca, Marokko
CASABLANCA, Marokko (Februari 2, 2017) – Former Interim cruiserweight world champion Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga will provide chief support Februari 18 for pro-debuting Moroccan amateur boxing sensation Mohammad Rabii op de “Battle of Casablanca” kaart, presented by Nowhere2Hyde, at Complexe de Sportif Mohammed V Arena in Casablanca, Marokko.
Kalenga (22-3, 15 KO), fighting out of France by way of The Congo, is currently rated No. 12 door de World Boxing Association (WBA) en nr. 16 door de World Boxing Council (WBC). The knockout artist takes on Garrett “The Ultimate Warrior” Wilson (17-11-1, 9 KO), van Philadelphia, who is a former United States Boxing Association (USBA) en de Noord-Amerikaanse 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 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 Olympisch gouden medaillewinnaar 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 Olympische Spelen in Brazilië, 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,” promotor Gary Hyde zei. “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 “Bad Boy” Mate (24-10, 17 KO) in het hoofdevenement van zes ronden.
Also in action on “Battle of Casablanca” will be former World Boxing Association (WBA) en de International Boxing Organization (IBO) world featherweight champion, Simpiwe Vetyeka (29-3, 17 KO), who is world ranked No. 4 Door de WBA, Niet Doen. 6 door De Ring magazine, en nr. 7 door de WBC. The gifted South African faces undefeated Hungarian prospect David Nerna (8-0, 8 KO) in een 10-ronde Bout.
Netherlands light middleweight Gevorg Khatchikian (24-2, 12 KO) will also be in action against Ugandan Med “Kabona” Sebyala (16-8-1. 13 KO) 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 Februari. 18 show in Casablanca.

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

Laat een reactie achter
‘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 “Ijzeren” 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 KO) 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,” zei Leon Margules, President van Warriors Boksen. “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, winnen of verliezen, above WBA “Regular” World Champion Beibut Shumenov and WBA “Tussentijds” 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

Laat een reactie achter
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 op mei 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu within 120 dagen. (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, hoewel, 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

Laat een reactie achter
LAS VEGAS (Juli 22, 2016) – It has been more than a month since World Boxing Association (WBA) world cruiserweight champion Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KO), 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.
Afgelopen juli, Shumenov defeated B.J. Bloemen 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 dagen 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 lichtgewicht, 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, echter, 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 zei.
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 (Juni 5, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) cruiserweight wereldkampioen Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 KO) stopped No. 11-rated Junior “Orkaan” Wright (15-2-1, 12 KO) in de 10th ronde van hun mei 21sttitle fight to remain mandatory challenger for unified WBA Super/International Boxing Federation (IBF) cruiserweight wereldkampioen Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 KO). The WBA mandated a Lebedev-Shumenov fight within 120 dagen of May 21.

Shumenov, 32, is een 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 – evenals zeven wereldtitel uitdagers. Hij is 8-2 (4 KO) in de wereld titel gevechten
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. Bloemen. 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 dagen 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. Echter, 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 dagen of May 21st. Ik ben klaar, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, te.”

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

Laat een reactie achter
LAS VEGAS (Mei 18, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim Cruiserweight Wereldkampioen Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KO) makes his first title defense deze zaterdag nacht (Mei 21) against WBA No. 11-rated Junior “Orkaan” Wright (15-1-1, 12 KO) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight deze zaterdag nacht,” Shumenov zei, “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. Bloemen (31-1-1, 20 KO) 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 KO), who also fights deze zaterdag in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) kampioen Victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ramirez (22-2-1, 17 KO) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 dagen. The WBA, echter, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “regelmatig” cruiserweight world title fight deze vrijdag night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos en nr. 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, natuurlijk, 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. “Elk gevecht, 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.

“Ik heb in de sportschool sinds mijn laatste gevecht, hard trainen om mijn vaardigheden te perfectioneren. Nu, 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.”

Beibut Shumenov maakt geschiedenis weer in de ring

Laat een reactie achter

TEAM Shumenov: (L-R) Assistent-trainer Rodney Crisler, wereld cruiserweight kampioen Beibut Shumenov, Chingis Shumenov, hoofd trainer Ismael Salas, cut-man Jacob “Steek” Duran en assistent-trainer Jeff Grmoja.

 

LAS VEGAS (Augustus. 3, 2015) – Kersverse World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim cruiserweight kampioen Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KO) onlangs geschiedenis opnieuw, verslaan B.J. Bloemen (31-2-1, 20 KO) door middel van een 12-round unaniem besluit als Premier Boxing Champions serie headliner, die juli uitgezonden 25th op NBCSN live vanuit The Palms in Las Vegas.

Shumenov, 31, werd de verplichte uitdager voor WBA “regelmatig” cruiserweight kampioen Denis Lebedev (27-1, 20 KO, 1 NC), van Rusland, evenals de eerste Kazachstan inheemse om een ​​wereld titel in twee verschillende gewichtsklassen vangen hebben de WBA licht zwaargewicht kampioen van geweest 2010-2014.

Boksen hotbed Kazachstan heeft vijf andere wereldkampioenen geproduceerd in de afgelopen kwart eeuw: 1990 WBC super vedergewicht Aratoly Alexandrov, 2000 WBC zwaargewicht Oleg “Big O” Maskaev, 2001-2003 – IBF cruiserweight Vassily “De Tijger” Jirov, 2010-2012 WBA super middengewicht Dimitri Sartison en regerend WBA Super / WBC Interim middengewicht Gennady Golovkin.

In zijn vuist historische gevecht terug in 2010, Shumenov versloeg de verdediging van WBA licht zwaargewicht kampioen Gabriel Campillo viaa 12-round beslissing om het record voor minste-gevechten te stellen, 10, wereldkampioen van een grote organisatie te worden in de 175-pond divisie.

“Ik ben erg trots om een ​​ander record in het boksen set,” 2004 Olympian Shumenov zei. “Ik ben vereerd om de eerste vechter uit mijn land te zijn om wereldkampioen te worden in twee divisies. Ik wil graag mijn manager bedanken, Al HAYMON, voor het geven van mij deze kans. Lebedev is het belangrijkste doel en, als ik voorbij die test, Ik wil de beste vechters vechten in de cruiserweight divisie.”

Shumenov ging door een stijl transformatie, onder leiding van de beroemde Cubaanse bondscoach Ismael Salas, die met de atletische Kazachse gewerkt om hem van een agressieve veranderen, slijpen vechter in een meer compleet, all-around boxer. Shumenov verbijsterd Flores, die Shumenov verwacht hem en uitwisseling stoten te komen, die de van nature groter zou hebben gegeven, sterker Flores een voordeel. In plaats daarvan, Shumenov meesterlijk boxed zijn weg naar de overwinning, gebruik dwarsbeweging, hoeken en positionering naar Flores frustreren in ineffectieve agressie, wat resulteert in een reeks van off-balance stoten en mist.

Na het gevecht, Shumenov legde de verrassende verandering die hij ging door na de training met Salas sinds januari. “Ik ben nog steeds in het leerproces. Net als mijn trainer zegt, er zijn geen grenzen, en ik heb nog niet geperfectioneerd wat hij leert me. Het komt eigenlijk neer op een veel hard werk, herhalingen van spiergeheugen. Mijn voetenwerk voor deze strijd kwam van mijn trainer. Ik was blij overwinnaar te zijn, maar ik zie mezelf nog steeds een stuk beter, algeheel, als een complete bokser.”
(L-R) Shumenov & Salas

Salas traint ook World Boxing Council (WBC) Wereld lichtgewicht kampioen Jorge Linares (39-3, 26 KO), in aanvulling op de behandeling van verleden en heden wereldkampioenen zoals Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriokis Gamboa, Danny Green, en Jesse Vargas.

“Er is een werkwijze voor iedereen qua biomechanica,” Salas commentaar. “Er zijn specialiteiten van de training die ik leren die niet vaak worden gebruikt in het boksen, specifieke oefeningen voor de dynamiek van de beweging. Ik oorspronkelijk geleerd om coach in het Cubaanse systeem, die overeenkomt met de Sovjet systeem waarin Beibut eerst leerde, maar ik heb ook al over de hele wereld leren van verschillende methoden van training. Het duurt nog tijd voor een wereld-klasse vechter als Beibut, die wereldkampioen is geweest als een professional, en had vele amateur-wedstrijden. Jorge Linares was een twee keer wereldkampioen voordat we begonnen samen te werken. Beibut is om er. Hij is nog steeds niet op zijn volledige potentieel, nu, alleen met behulp van 40-50 procent van zijn gereedschap.”

Shumenov is een advocaat en succesvolle zakenman die vijf talen spreekt. Hoewel hij is een twee-keer wereldkampioen, hij is nog steeds een student van het boksen, en Salas is zijn zeer gerespecteerde professor.

“Hij is (Salas) bescheiden maar een genie,” Shumenov dringt. “Hij vraagt ​​en luistert naar mijn mening. Wij concentreren ons op de fundamentals en hij verklaart alles voor mij. Ons team had een dagelijkse routine in het kamp waar we onze kennis gedeeld na elke trainingssessie. De vier van ons (Shumenov, Salas, Grmjoja en Crisler) werd één.”

 

En het resultaat was een tweede wereldtitel.
