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

Legg igjen en kommentar
‘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, Russland.
In an entertaining fight, Gassiev (24-0, 17 KOs) fra Vladikavkaz, Russland, dropped his countryman Lebedev in the fifth round and won a split decision by scores of 116-112 og 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,” sa Leon Margules, President of 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, vinner eller taper, 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

Legg igjen en kommentar
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 mai 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu within 120 dager. (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 timer. WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion yunier Dorticos has also objected. At this present time, skjønt, 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

Legg igjen en kommentar
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 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.
I juli i fjor, Shumenov defeated B.J. Blomster 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 dager 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 – superlett, 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, men, 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 sa.
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) Cruiservekt verdensmester Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 KOs) stopped No. 11-karakter Junior “Orkan” Wright (15-2-1, 12 KOs) i 10th runde av deres mai 21sttitle fight to remain mandatory challenger for unified WBA Super/International Boxing Federation (IBF) Cruiservekt verdensmester Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 KOs). The WBA mandated a Lebedev-Shumenov fight within 120 dager of May 21.

Shumenov, 32, er en 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 og Montell Griffin – så vel som sju VM-tittel utfordrere. Han er 8-2 (4 KOs) i verdens tittelkamper
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. Blomster. Men, 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. I 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 dager fra mai 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. Men, 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 dager of May 21st. Jeg er klar, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, også.”

“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight denne lørdagen natt,” Shumenov sa, “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.”

Blomster (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 dager. The WBA, men, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “regulær” cruiserweight world title fight denne fredagen night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos og Nei. 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, Selvfølgelig, 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. “Hver kamp, 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 gjør historien igjen i ringen

TEAM SHUMENOV: (L-R) Assistent trener Rodney Crisler, Verdens Cruiservekt mester Beibut Shumenov, Chingis Shumenov, head trainer Ismael Salas, cut-mann Jacob “Stitch” Duran og assistenttrener Jeff Grmoja.

 

LAS VEGAS (August. 3, 2015) – Nylig kronet World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim Cruiservekt mester Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) nylig gjort historie igjen, ødeleggende B.J. Blomster (31-2-1, 20 KOs) ved hjelp av en 12-round enstemmig som Premier Boxing Champions series headliner, som ble sendt juli 25th på NBCSN lever fra The Palms i Las Vegas.

Shumenov, 31, ble obligatorisk utfordreren for WBA “regulær” Cruiservekt mester Denis Lebedev (27-1, 20 KOs, 1 NC), av Russland, samt den første Kasakhstan innfødte å fange en VM-tittel i to forskjellige vektklasser å ha vært WBA lett tungvekt fra 2010-2014.

Boksing arne Kasakhstan har produsert fem andre verdensmestere i løpet av det siste kvart århundre: 1990 WBC super fjærvekt Aratoly Alexandrov, 2000 WBC tungvekt Oleg “Big O” Maskaev, 2001-2003 – IBF Cruiservekt Vassily “The Tiger” Jirov, 2010-2012 WBA super mellomvekt Dimitri Sartison og regjerende WBA Super / WBC Interim mellomvekt Gennady Golovkin.

I neven historiske kampen tilbake 2010, Shumenov beseiret regjerende WBA lett tungvekt Gabriel Campillo viaa 12-runde beslutning om å etablere rekorden for færrest-kamper, 10, å bli verdensmester i en stor organisasjon i 175-pund divisjon.

“Jeg er veldig stolt over å sette en annen rekord i boksing,” 2004 Olympian Shumenov sa. “Jeg er beæret over å være den første fighter fra mitt land for å bli verdensmester i to divisjoner. Jeg vil gjerne takke min manager, Al Haymon, for å gi meg denne muligheten. Lebedev er hovedmålet og, hvis jeg passerer den testen, Jeg ønsker å kjempe de beste krigerne i Cruiservekt divisjon.”

Shumenov gikk gjennom en transformasjon stil, i regi av berømte cubanske hovedtrener Ismael Salas, som jobbet med den atle kasakhstanske å forandre ham fra en aggressiv, sliping fighter inn i en mer komplett, all-around boxer. Shumenov forbløffet Flores, som forventet Shumenov å komme til ham og utveksle slag, som ville ha gitt naturligvis større, sterkere Flores en fordel. I stedet, Shumenov mesterlig bokset seg til seier, ved hjelp av sideveis bevegelse, vinkler og posisjonering for å frustrere Flores inn ineffektiv aggresjon, resulterer i en rekke off-balanse slag og meteren.

Etter kampen, Shumenov forklarte raskende endringen han gikk gjennom etter trening med Salas siden januar. “Jeg er fortsatt i læringsprosessen. Som min trener sier, det er ingen grenser, og jeg fortsatt ikke har perfeksjonert hva han lærer meg. Det kommer egentlig ned til en mye hardt arbeid, repetisjoner av muskel minne. Min fotarbeid for denne kampen kom fra min trener. Jeg var glad for å seire, men jeg ser fortsatt meg selv å bli mye bedre, generelle, som en komplett bokser.”
(L-R) Shumenov & Salas

Salas trener også World Boxing Council (WBC) Verden Lett Champion Jorge Linares (39-3, 26 KOs), i tillegg til håndtering av tidligere og nåværende verdensmestre som Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriokis Gamboa, Danny Grønn, og Jesse Vargas.

“Det er en prosess for alle i form av bio-mekanikk,” Salas kommen. “Det er spesialiteter av trening jeg lærer som ikke brukes ofte i boksing, spesifikke øvelser for dynamikken i bevegelse. Jeg opprinnelig lærte å trener i det cubanske systemet, som er lik den sovjetiske system i hvilket Beibut først lært, men jeg har også vært over hele verden lære ulike metoder for opplæring. Det tar fortsatt tid for en verdensklasse fighter som Beibut, som har vært verdensmester som en profesjonell, og hadde mange amatør kamper. Jorge Linares var en to-tiden verdensmesteren før vi begynte å jobbe sammen. Beibut er å komme dit. Han er fremdeles ikke på sitt fulle potensial, akkurat nå, bare ved hjelp 40-50 prosent av hans verktøy.”

Shumenov er advokat og vellykket forretningsmann som snakker fem språk. Selv om han er en to-tiden verdensmesteren, Han er fortsatt en student av boksing, og Salas er hans høyt respektert professor.

“Han er (Salas) ydmyk men et geni,” Shumenov insisterer. “Han spør og lytter til mine meninger. Vi konsentrerer oss om fundamentale forhold, og han forklarer alt for meg. Vårt team hadde en daglig rutine i leiren hvor vi delte vår kunnskap etter hver treningsøkt. Fire av oss (Shumenov, Salas, Grmjoja og Crisler) ble ett.”

 

Og resultatet var en annen verden tittel.
