Astana, Kazakhstan (Junie , 2018) — World Boxing Association (WBA) Moenie. 3-gegradeerde kruisgewig Hizni “Die vegter” Altunkaya (30-1, 17 Uitklophoue) is nie bekommerd oor die pad om die plaaslike held en tweedeling Wêreldboksvereniging te beveg nie (WBA) Wêreld kampioen, Shumenov Beibu, vir die vakante WBA-wêreldkampioen-gewigstitel, Julie 7 in Astana, Kazakhstan.

 

 

 

A 2004 Kazakhstan Olimpiese, Shumenov (17-2, 11 Uitklophoue) 'n jaar gelede afgetree weens 'n oogbesering wat operasies vereis het, hom dwing om sy WBA cruiserweight wêreld titel afstaan. Shumenov het ten volle herstel en hy is op die doel om sy WBA-wêreldtitel in die cruisergewig te herwin.

 

Shumenov vs.. Altunkaya is 'n aanbieding van Shumenov se maatskappy, KZ Event Productions, Inc. Die Julie 7stegala-geleentheid sal deel uitmaak van die 20steherdenking van Astana as die hoofstad van Kazakstan. Daar word verwag dat baie politieke hooggeplaastes uit Kasakstan en regoor die wêreld Shumenov se terugveggeveg sal bywoon, wat nasionaal op Qazaqstan TV en QAZSPORT TV uitgesaai word, sowel as internasionaal, insluitend BoxNation in die Verenigde Koninkryk.

 

 

 

“Ek het geen bedenkinge oor die bestryding van Shumenov in sy land nie,” 30-jarige Altunkaya gesê. “Ek glo dat daar 'n billike besluit sal wees en dat die beter vegter die aand sal wen. Ek sal in Kazakstan aankom met genoeg tyd om te akklimatiseer.

 

 

 

“Ek het groot respek vir wat hy bereik het. Shumenov het baie ervaring en hy is 'n sterk bokser. Ons bestudeer 'n paar gevegte om sy swakhede te vind. Ek dink dit sal wees, tegnologies, 'n goeie stryd, waarin ons albei kanse sal waag om 'n uitklophou te kry. Ek is 'n bokser, maar as ek kans sien vir 'n uitklophou, Ek kan my styl verander. Dit sal 'n moeilike stryd wees en ek sal my bes doen om as wêreldkampioen huis toe te gaan.

 

 

Altunkaya, wat in Turkye gebore is, maar nou leef en veg uit 'n geveg uit Duitsland, uitgeslaan Mathias Reinhardt in die eerste ronde, op die Vitali Klitschko versus Shannon Briggs World Boxing Council (WBC) Swaargewig Wêreldkampioenskapskaart in 2010, by die O2 World Arena in Hamburg, Duitsland.

 

 

 

In 2011, Altunkaya het 'n eenparige beslissing van 12 rondes gewen as voorheen onoorwonne Salvatore Aiello (29-0) vir die Interim Wêreldboksfederasie (WBF) Wêreldkruisergewigskroon. Die begaafde Turk het die vakante Global Boxing Council gevang (GBC) Interkontinentale cruiserweight titel in 2016, Sy pro-verlies het verlede jaar gebeur, toe hy in die vyfde ronde deur die voormalige Wêreldboksorganisasie gestuit is (WBO) Cruiserweight Wêreldkampioen Krzysztof Glowacki (26-1).

 

 

 

Shumenov het 'n ontsaglike gehalte-voordeel bo Altunkaya, wat nie as 'n amateur boks nie. Alhoewel Altunkava meer pro-rondes geveg het as Shumenov, 147-140, die gebeitelde Kazak het geveg 88 rondes in groot wêreldtitelgevegte vergeleke met nul vir sy Turkse opponent.

 

 

 

“Die stryd teen Glowacki was een van die belangrikste ervarings in my loopbaan,” Altunkaya bygevoeg. “Ek weet wat ek verkeerd gedoen het, en ek sal die foute teen Shumenov nie herhaal nie.”

 

 

 

Bykomende gevegte sal binnekort bekend gemaak word. Alle gevegte en vegters is onderhewig aan verandering.

MAYFIELD WANTS EYUBOV REMATCH: I WAS ROBBED!

Skryf 'n opmerking
Having had a week to consider his controversial decision loss to Kazakhstan’s Bakhtiyar Eyubov (11-0, 10 Uitklophoue), San Francisco welterweight Karim Mayfield says he’s not happy.
Fighting in the opening fight on ShoBox: The New Generation® last Friday, Augustus 19, at Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, New York, Mayfield (19-4-1, 11 Uitklophoue) appeared to outpunch and outwork his unbeaten foe, especially in the last four rounds. Despite having the statistical advantage – and winning in the eyes of the Showtime commentators, most of the ringside media, the fans in attendance and a worldwide outcry – Mayfield found himself on the wrong side of a 10-round split decision (95-94 twice for Eyubov and 95-94 for Mayfield) at the end of their exciting battle.
“I’m pretty upset about it,” Said Mayfield. “I trained hard for that fight. I was finally able to get a normal eight-week camp to train and train for a specific fighter. I haven’t had that in a long time. It felt great to be that focused, but to get it stolen from me is not a good feeling. A lot of time fighters lose and think they won, but this isn’t like that. The public agrees I won. The commentators say I won. I was robbed. I’m not just thinking this. It’s true I was robbed.”
Showing toughness, power and a high level of conditioning, Mayfield came on stronger and stronger as the grueling fight wore on. Despite the loss, it was a very impressive and career-rejuvenating performance against a foe who had knocked out all his previous opponents before the end of three rounds.
“I do feel proud of my performance. I showed I belong on the world-class level. I’ve always been a good fighter. But I feel it is imperative I be given a rematch against Eyubov. I feel like this is unfinished business. I didn’t lose because of a lack of skill. I had this stolen from me.”
Mayfield says if Eyubov won’t give him a rematch (he was non-committal post-fight), Showtime should have him back in a high-profile match-up.
“I deserve to be brought back. I’ve beaten some good guys. Eyubov is just one. I beat Mauricio Herrera. I beat Francisco Santana. I beat them and they got big opportunities. Give me a fair shake! I’ll fight anybody if the paper is right.”

WBA Interim Champ Zhakiyanov and Camp Respond to ‘Blatantly False’ Rumors Being Spread by Super Flyweight Contender Zolani Tete

Skryf 'n opmerking

Interim WBA World Bantamweight Champion Zhanat “ZZ” Zhakiyanov (26-1, 18 Uitklophoue) and his representatives are now forced to respond to the deliberate falsehoods being distributed by the team around South African super flyweight Zolani Tete.

Zhakiyanov of Petropavl, Kazakhstan, is a proud warrior, who has been willing to face anyone from the start of his career. Which is what makes the blatantly false and intentionally misleading allegations by Tete’s camp so infuriating.
Tete and his manager, Mla Tengimfene, have been feeding the media a fictional story that Zhakiyanov recently backed out of a purported fight between the two, supposedly scheduled for Junie 4 at Echo Arena in Liverpool.
One problem.
Zhakiyanov and his people were never even contacted about such a fight. It never existed.
“I have never heard from anyone about this fight,” said Zhakiyanov. “They are saying I can’t make the weight and that’s why I can’t fight him. I was never supposed to fight him! He and his people are telling stories.”
Zhakiyanov’s manager, Philippe Fondu, wonders why the media would even believe such a fight ever existed when a quick check of the WBA rule book would have eliminated all talk of such a match-up.
“There were some unfounded rumors on the net about Zhanat defending against Tete a while ago, but having never received any concrete proposal from anyone, including his new promoter Frank Warren, I never paid any specific attention to these rumors. But let’s be honest here. Zhanat Zhakiyanov is the reigning interim WBA Bantamweight champion and Tete is actually boxing for other world organizations (IBF and/or WBO). Verder, Tete is rated #9 in the WBA super-flyweight division (115 lb.). Such a contest could obviously not even be considered, as a WBA Interim 118-lb. champion can only defend his title against a WBA top-15 rated boxer in the 118 lb. division.”
Fondu also says that Zhakiyanov, promoted by Hatton Promotions, is fully capable of making the 118-lb weight limit and welcomes any and all viable fight proposals approvable by the WBA.
“I have been in boxing many years and I understand using the media to get a fighter’s name in print,” continued Fondu, “but they are using the name of a champion and proud representative of his home country of Kazakhstan to do it and it’s not right. Hopefully the media will get more responsible about checking the facts in the future.”

LOS ANGELES, SOOS (April 27, 2016) – Russia’s undefeated super-lightweight prospect, Sergey Lipinets (9-0, 7 Uitklophoue), is adapting well to his surrounding here in the United States. Born in Martuk, Kazakhstan but fighting out of Southern California where he now resides, Lipinets is getting great work with top notch fighters, een wese Victor Ortiz.
Lipinets spent quality time in camp with Ortiz, helping him get ready for his highly publicized rematch with Andre Berto, taking place at the StubHub Center in Carson, Kalifornië Saterdag.
“During his training camp for Berto, Victor and I went to war,” said Sergey Lipinets. “Right now I feel Ortiz is fighting at a high level and I feel he’s going to come out on top in the rematch. I gave him some great looks that I know is going to be beneficial to his game plan. Sparring with Ortiz was a great experience for me and I feel confident I can become a world champion in the near future.”
In his last outing Lipinets scored an impressive fifth-round knockout against Levan Ghvamichava (16-2-1, 12 Uitklophoue), a 10-round main event that was nationally televised on FOX Sports 1. With only nine fights under his belt, Lipinets is gaining much respect within the boxing community.
“After sparring sessions, coaches often come up to me and give me words of encouragement.” Lipinets continued. “They tell me I have what it takes to become a world champion. The respect I’m getting from the inner circles of the boxing community is very flattering. Ek weet met harde werk…all my dreams will come true.”
