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).

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 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, 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.

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 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. 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.”

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..
