GILROY, SOOS (Julie 17, 2017) – After giving fans some of the most thrilling fights in boxing, which spanned over sixteen hard fought years, Robert “Die Gees” Warrior is announcing his retirement.
“Eerste, I want to thank God for allowing me to have a wonderful career. I’m a kid from a small town in Gilroy, Kalifornië, who made it to the mountain top of the boxing world. When I was a young kid growing up, I always believed in myself, but never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined a small-town kid like myself, would be fighting in front of millions of fans.”
“I was blessed to win multiple world titles in four-divisions. A boxer’s career is a long and tough road. Many tears were shed, lots of blood, and tons of sweat. Many miles were traveled, thousands of rounds sparred, none were easy and nothing was ever given to me. I earned everything I got the old fashion way. I never ducked anyone and fought the best fighters in the world. I fought my way through every obstacle to make sure my fans enjoyed every second, of every round, of my fights.”
“I competed at super-bantamweight (122 lbs.) and won world titles across multiple weight classes, closing my career at welterweight (147 lbs.), fighting the big guys 25 pounds heavier. A good friend always told me I was God’s warrior, born to fight. I enjoyed every minute of every war. I represented my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with the bible verse Acts 2:38 on my trunks. If I reached one person and brought that person closer to Christ, then it was all worth it.”
“I want to thank some very important people in my career starting with the most important person, my wife Casey, who has been with me every step of the way, my soul mate, my sweetheart, the one and only love of my life. My father/trainer Ruben Guerrero Sr. He’s the one who started it all and made me the man I am today, and the champion I was in the ring. He’s one of the best trainers in the world and I hope to be working side by side with him in the future. My mother Marcy Guerrero for being a great mother and supporter. My co-manager Bob Santos for all the sacrifices he made to get me to the top…I will always remember the early days when we made the most with very liitle. He always had my back and looked out for me like I was his brother. His wife Diane Santos who did a lot of secretarial work for me during my whole career. Both my grandparents on Martinez and Guerrero sides for believing in me. My brother’s Sammy, Ruben Jr., Victor, Randy and especially Eric, who has been with me my whole career, my shadow every step of the way, my right-hand man. My mother and father in-law, Shelly en Cary O’neal. My cutman Ruben Gomez. My good friends, Pastor Mark Wilson, Dave Castro, Pastor Chris Avila, John Mersho, en Albert Guarado. My uncle Russel Sr., Russel Jr., Uncle Ricky, Hector Catano en Greg Amundson. I want to thank my co-manager Luis Decubas Jr. for taking my career to the next level. Santos and Decubas Jr. are more than managers, they are family to me. My publicist Mario Serrano, who has also been with me the whole ride, he is also family to me. All the fans and the community who stuck by my side when my wife was battling cancer…I will never forget the love you showed. There are so many people who have helped me, if I leave anyone off, thank you for everything.”
“In closing, I want to thank the most special man I’ve ever met in my boxing career, and possibly lifetime, a man who always does what’s best for the fighter, a man who has changed the sport of boxing, a man who has helped bless me and my family with a great life, and that person is my advisor Al HAYMON. Not only is Al Haymon a spectacular advisor, he is a wonderful human being as well, a great man, and someone who cares. In a sport where most managers, promotors, and trainers turn their back on a fighter, when they no longer can perform, or are no longer beneficial to their interest, Haymon stands tall. Love and loyalty is tough to find in the boxing game, but for any boxer looking for it, you don’t have to look far, reach out to Al Haymon. I want to thank everyone, the fans included. I hope you guys appreciated the guts and glory I left in the ring. God bless you all.” ~ Robert “Die Gees” Warrior

Skryf 'n opmerking
VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING
LAS VEGAS (Junie 26, 2017) – Twee-afdeling World Boxing Association (WBA) Wêreld kampioen Shumenov Beibu het sy WBA-wêreldtitel in die krygergewig prysgegee, weens sy loopbaan-eindigende oogbesering, en hy het sy uittrede uit die ring aangekondig.
“Ek het ongelukkig my WBA-titel in die cruisergewig prysgegee en uit die boks getree weens 'n traumatiese oogbesering die week voor my laaste geskeduleerde stryd.,” Shumenov uit sy huis in Las Vegas gesê. “Ek is uiters teleurgesteld my boksloopbaan het so geëindig maar, ongelukkig, beserings is deel van hierdie sport en daar kan niks aan gedoen word nie. Ek het steeds dowwe visie en ek moet volgende maand 'n bykomende operasie ondergaan om verder te probeer herstel, sodat ek nie blindheid in my (reg) oog.

“Ek wil my familie bedank, my span deur die jare heen, vriende en aanhangers vir hul volgehoue ​​ondersteuning al die jare. Ek was trots daarop om die WBA-kampioenskapsgordel jare lank as tweedivisie-kampioen te dra. Ek is dankbaar vir die WBA-president Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, sy vader, en almal in my WBA-familie. Dit was nogal 'n rit en ek sien met groot verwagting uit na die volgende hoofstuk van my lewe saam met my seun en toekomstige pogings.”

Shumenov (17-2, 11 Uitklophoue), 'n 2004 Kazakhstan Olimpiese, moes die Interim-WBA-kampioen aandurf yunier Dorticos (21-0, 20 Uitklophoue) in die April 29ste hoofgebeurtenis van Premier Boxing Champions op FS1 en FOX Sport, van Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas.

Tydens sy laaste besprekingsessies, Shumenov het 'n oogbesering opgedoen wat onmiddellike operasie vereis het, dwing hom om van syne te onttrek April 29 veg teen Dorticos.

Vroeër vandeesmaand, die WBA het 'n brief van Shumenov se oogchirurg ontvang, Dr. Kent L. Wel, wat die volgende geskryf het: “Mnr. Beibut Shumenov het 'n ernstige oogprobleem, 'n herhalende erosie van die kornea in sy regteroog, dit met voortgesette gevegte, stel hom in gevaar om sy sig permanent te verloor.

“Dit is my mediese opinie dat hy hom permanent moet weerhou van sparring, opleiding en boks as gevolg van die erns van skade aan sy oog en die hoë risiko vir verdere skade aan gesiggestremdheid, insluitend die moontlikheid van permanente sigverlies.”
Die WBA het Shumenov se prysgawe van sy kampioenskap aanvaar, daarop dat dit sy dank en trots vir sy professionele loopbaan by die WBA uitgespreek het.

Die laaste drie jaar van Shumenov se loopbaan is besoedel deur onaktiwiteit, waarin hy slegs drie keer geveg het weens gebrek aan bestuursteun, ten spyte daarvan dat hy daagliks oefen, in topvorm en altyd gereed om te veg. In werklikheid, spartel hy amper 400 rondes sedert sy laaste geveg (Mei 21, 2016) in afwagting van, eerste, 'n eenwording veg met Denis Lebedeven dan vir sy stryd teen Dorticos. Nie een van hulle het gebeur nie, egter, aangesien bokspolitiek Lebedev in staat gestel het om te veg met Shumenov, wat verslaan het BJ Flores en danJunior Anthony Wragting in die WBA-uitskakeling teen die rug veg om Lebedev se verpligte uitdager te wees.

Selfs Shumenov se verpligte stryd teen Dorticos is onnodig vertraag omdat Dorticos’ promotor, Caribe-promosies, het sy reg om die stryd wat hy met 'n beursie gewen het, te bevorder, gevolg deur aaneenlopende en talle datumveranderings van Februarie tot Maart tot uiteindelik aangeland April 29.

Die 33-jarige Shumenov tree uit as die eerste en enigste tweedeling-wêreldkampioen tot nog toe uit Kasakstan, asook die rekordhouer vir die minste gevegte wat nodig is om die wêreldkampioenskap vir ligswaargewig te wen, 10.

Tydens sy 9 1/2 -jaar pro loopbaan, Shumenov het vier wêreldkampioene verslaan – Gabriel Campillo, Byron Mitchell, William Joppy en Montell Griffin – sowel as wêreldtitel-uitdagers Epifanio Mendoza, Vlacheslav Uzelkov, Danny Santiago, Enrique Ornelas, Tamas Kovacs, BJ Flores en Junior Wright.
