Chicago Cruiserweight Junior Wright to Face Russia’s Ruslan Fayfer for IBF #2 Spot This Friday in Russia

Este viernes, Agosto 18, in Krasnodar, Rusia, IBF #14-rated cruiserweight “Huracán” Júnior Wright (16-2-1, 13 KOs) of Chicago will face hometown favorite and IBF #8-rated Ruslan Fayfer (20-0, 14 KOs) in an eliminator for the #2 contender spot.
For the talented 31-year-old Wright, a victory would spell another shot at a world championship. But when a fighter is coming into a Russian fighter’s hometown, that isn’t always easy. Todavía, Wright and his trainer Rick Wilson have spent eight weeks preparing for this fight, believing that Junior is coming back to US with the victory.
Fighters come from the US to fight in Russia they all come home with a bad story,” said Wright, “but we’re not. We’re coming out of Krasnodar with a beautiful gift.
Wright was last seen stopping Detroit’s Damon McCreary in two rounds in January of this year.

Junior Wright has shown throughout his career that he is one of the most dedicated fighters in the cruiserweight division,” dicho su promotor, Dmitriy Salita. “Fighting the best available contenders, Junior is once again showing his will and desire to be the best cruiserweight in the world. I expect a ‘Hurricane-likeperformance from him el viernes.”

Bigger, Stronger Heavyweight Version of Junior Wright to be Unleashed against McCreary at Detroit Brawl on January 22, en el Templo Masónico de Detroit

Former cruiserweight world title challenger “Huracán” Junior Wright has been hitting the weights hard and will enter the ring for the first time as a heavyweight in his next ring appearance.
Wright (15-2-1, 12 KOs) from Evanston, Illinois, expects to come in at a muscular 225 libra. when he takes on Detroit’s Damon McCreary (15-6, 11 KOs) in an eight-round featured bout on promoter Dmitriy Salita’s special Domingo edition of his “Pelea de Detroit” series on Enero 22, 2017, en el Templo Masónico de Detroit.
Once again sponsored by the Greektown Casino Hotel, entradas para “Pelea de Detroit” are priced at VIP $123, Box Seats are $80 y $60, Seating is $40, y $20. They are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.com.
“El entrenamiento va bien,” said Wright. “I’m treating this like another world title fight because at this level anyone could beat you on any day.
Despite a short, 50-lucha, amateur career, Wright was a Chicago Golden Gloves winner as an amateur. He was able to drop Beibut Shumenov in May of this year, challenging for the WBA world championship.
The biggest thing I learned in that fight is to relax in the ring. When you’re relaxed, you are more aware in there and can pace yourself a lot better.
Wright’s trainer, Rick Wilson, says the decision to gain 25 libra. gives the fighter, who he says can still get down to cruiserweight’s 200-lb limit, more career options moving forward.
Junior is like a Holyfield-type of fighter who is a cruiserweight in his early 20s and then grows into a full-fledged heavyweight near his 30s. People like small, agile heavyweights better than the lumbering monsters hugging each other all fight. They make for more exciting fights.
Wilson says because of Wright’s relative lack of experience, the world hasn’t seen the best of him yet.
How many fighters have had two world title fights by their 18th pro fight (the fight against Chakhkiev was for the IBO World Cruiserweight Championship) after having just 50 peleas como amateur?” he asked. “Plus Junior was knocking everybody out, so he had very few rounds in the bank and went in on short notice. The best of Junior Wright is still to be seen. He’s a very special talent.
In separate eight-rounders will be a pair of recognizable contenders, Detroit fan favorite LanardoPain ServerTyner (30-10-2, 19 KOs) and welterweight KO artist BakhtiyarBakha Bullet” Yeyubov (11-0, 10 KOs) de Houston, Texas, via Aktjubinsk, Kazakhstan will face opponents in separate bouts.
In other scheduled eight-rounders will be transplanted cruiserweight Alexey Zubov (13-1, 8 KOs), from Magnitogorsk, Rusia, now living in Detroit and Detroit’s all-action bantamweight James Gordon Smith (11-0, 6 KOs).

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

LAS VEGAS (Agosto 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 en mayo 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu dentro 120 día. (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 dentro 48 horas. Campeón mundial interino de peso crucero de la AMB Yunier Dorticos has also objected. At this present time, aunque, 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 (Julio 22, 2016) – It has been more than a month since World Boxing Association (AMB) 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.
En julio pasado, Shumenov derrotado B.J. Flores 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, quien derrotó Victor Emelio Ramirez in May to also become International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion, must fight Shumenov dentro 120 día of the latter’s May 21, 2016 knockout victory over Júnior 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 diferentes clases de peso. Only three WBA divisions have one world champion – super ligero, 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, sin embargo, 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 dijo.
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 (Junio 5, 2016) – Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB) campeón mundial de peso crucero Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 KOs) stopped No. 11-Calificación Júnior “Huracán” Wright (15-2-1, 12 KOs) en el 10º asalto de su mayo 21sttitle fight to remain mandatory challenger for unified WBA Super/International Boxing Federation (FIB) campeón mundial de peso crucero Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 KOs). The WBA mandated a Lebedev-Shumenov fight dentro 120 día of May 21.

Shumenov, 32, es una 2004 Kazakhstan Olympian who lives and trains in Las Vegas. During his 9-year professional boxing career, Shumenov has defeated four world championsGabriel Campillo, Byron Mitchell, William Joppy y Montell Griffin – así como siete retadores al título mundial. Él es 8-2 (4 KOs) en peleas de título mundial
Below find a one-on-one interview with Shumenov:

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. Flores. Pero, 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. En 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 dentro 120 día a partir de mayo 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. Sin embargo, 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 dentro 120 día of May 21st. Estoy listo, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, también.”

El campeón mundial Beibut Shumenov defenderá el título vs.. Junior Wright este sábado por la noche en Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (Mayo 18, 2016) – Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB) Provisional campeón mundial crucero Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) hace su primera defensa del título este sábado noche (Mayo 21) contra WBA No. 11-Calificación Júnior “Huracán” Wright (15-1-1, 12 KOs) en The Chelsea dentro de The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
“Estoy feliz de tener la oportunidad de pelear este sábado noche,” Shumenov dijo, “pero desearía poder pelear más a menudo. Estoy listo desde enero. Cada sesión de entrenamiento gano nuevos conocimientos. Soy un luchador completamente diferente al de mi última pelea.”
La última pelea de Shumenov fue en julio., en el que derrotó B.J. Flores (31-1-1, 20 KOs) por decisión unánime en 12 asaltos en Las Vegas para capturar el título interino vacante de la AMB, convirtiendo al ex campeón de peso semipesado de la AMB Shumenov en el primer boxeador profesional de Kazajstán en ser campeón mundial de dos divisiones.
Al convertirse en el campeón interino de peso crucero de la AMB, Shumenov también se convirtió en el No. 1 retador obligatorio clasificado para el campeón de peso súper crucero de la AMB Denis Lebedev (28-2, 21 KOs), quien tambien pelea este sábado en Rusia contra la Federación Internacional de Boxeo (FIB) campeón Victor Emilio “El Tyson de Abasto” Ramírez (22-2-1, 17 KOs) en un partido de unificación.
La AMB ya ordenó que el Lebedev-Ramírez debe pelear contra Shumenovdentro 120 día. La AMB, sin embargo, no ha podido explicar por qué también declaró una WBA “regular” pelea por el título mundial de peso crucero este viernes noche en Francia entre No. 2 Yunier Dorticos y n. 5 Youri Kalenga (desde actualizado a No. 3), especialmente después de anunciar que funcionaría este año tener solo un campeón mundial en cada categoría de peso.
Shumenov, por supuesto, está arriesgando su puesto obligatorio al luchar contra Wright, el ex cinco veces campeón de los Guantes de Oro de Chicago. “Necesito estar activo,” Shumenov explicó por qué se arriesga tanto. “Cada pelea, Gano experiencia y también me ayuda a desarrollar mis habilidades de lucha.”
El Shumenov de 12 asaltos vs. La pelea por el título de Wright está en la parte no televisada del programa The Cosmopolitan..

HURRICANE WRIGHT WANTS TO TOPPLE TOP CRUISERWEIGHTS CHICAGO BOXER TARGETS CHAMP SHUMENOV

PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA

Chicago, Illinois (Febrero 22, 2016) – BoxRec.com says Júnior Wright is the number-two ranked cruiserweight in the United States, and the Chicagoan is keen to show he should have the top slot.

El Viernes, la 15-1-1 Wright got a 1st round stoppage over Jim Franklin on a show in Iowa, and the boxer feels he’s building superb momentum, which will soon result in another title shot.

The fight was over so fast I couldn’t really tell you much about it,” said Wright, riendo. “But I threw a really good body shot to put him down and then afterwards I just threw a lot of combinations when he got up and they stopped it. I feel great about my win. While training for my world title fight with Rakhim Chakhiev in 2015, I had an injury but still went ahead with the fight. After the match I had surgery and now I am 100 hundred percent. I feel ready for all the top cruiserweights in the world, from what I see there is not much out there to worry about in the division. I would love the opportunity to fight Beibut Shumenov for a world title. He is one of the dominant champions and his fights happen in the U.S. so I feel there is no home-turf advantage, no jet leg to worry about. I feel very confident in this fight and my abilities!”

Wright is now No. 13 in the WBA and wants to fight best in the division, including WBA world champion Shumenov, or BoxRec No. 1 in the USA, BJ Flores.

His promoter Dmitry Salita backs the fighter nicknamed “Huracán” todo el camino.

I’ve always felt that Junior Wright is one of the best cruiserweights in the world and most definitely in the U.S.,” Palabra dijo. “I believe he has the tools to compete with and beat the best fighters in the cruiserweight division.
