M-1 Challenge 75, Mart 3 u Moskvi, Rusija
ST. PETERSBURG, Rusija (Siječanj 5, 2017) – Hot welterweight prospect Sergey “StreetfighterRomanov is training hard to ruin the comeback of Russian veteran Magomed “The White Wolf” Sultanakhmedov in an interesting match-up Mart 3 na M-1 Challenge 75 u Rusiji.

The M-1 Challenge 75 Main Event, featuring a battle of undefeated welterweights between defending champion Alexey Kunchenko (15-0-0, M-1: 7-0-0), Rusije, takes on Kazakhstan challenger Shaukat Rakhmonov (7-0-0, M-1: 4-0-0),was previously announced.
M-1 Challenge 75 will be streamed live from Moscow in high definition on www.M1Global.TV. Gledatelji će moći gledati preliminarne borbe i glavnog karticu prijavom na registrovati na www.M1Global.TV. Fanovi mogu gledati sve akcije na racunaru, kao i na Android i Apple pametne telefone i tablete.
Due to a series of injuries, Sulktanakhmedov (18-5-0, M-1: 10-1-0) has been inactive for the past five years, since he knocked out Tyson Jeffries in the second round of their 2011 bore na M-1 Challenge 24.
A former M-1 Selection champion, Sultanakhmedov is dropping down one weight class from middleweight to fight Romanov. During his MMA career, feared striker Sultanakhmedov has knocked out the likes of Dmitri Samoilov, Victor Nemkov, Pavel Kusch i Pliinio Cruz, među više uglednici.
His tremendous flair and style makes him a fan favorite, especially hisone-shoot, one-killattack. The 32-year-old has fought outside of his native Russia, in the United States and Japan, and during his fighting hiatus he served as referee.
Although he isn’t looking past Sultanakhmedov, fellow Russian fighter Romanov hopes that an impressive victory over Sultankhmedov will position him for his first M-1 Challenge title shot against the Kunchenkp-Rakhmonov winner.
Romanov has had impressive victories in M-1 Challenge competition, including a decision over against Brazilian foe Carlos Pereira last October at M-1 Challenge 71, as well as a first-round stoppage via punches of Andreas Birgels this past June at M-1 Challenge 68.
I’ve been working on my strength,” Romanov said from his training camp, “because the champion in my weight class, Alexey Kunchenko, is physically strong. I need to catch up. Not that I’m looking forward to a title fight, but I always have grandiose plans, tako, we’ll see how that goes. Odmah, I’m focused on Sultanakhmedov, and I think my fight with him would be no harder than a possible fight with Kunchenko.
I started training camp with two workouts a day, but I felt sick and decided to cutback to only one workout a day until I soon return to full mode. I’ve been training at home (St. Petersburg) but will soon go to Ryazan to wrestling training camp. Onda, I will go back to St. Petersburg to prepare at camp, and go to Borovaya for boxing. My opponent is left-handed, so I need appropriate sparring partners, but the guys in my camp are a great help.
I know my opponent well having watched his fights as a youngster when he was champion. Sada, we need to reevaluate him. He was a good fighter who trains at ‘Goretswhere there is, in principle, guys there who are top level. It’s difficult to say what form he has now because he hasn’t fought in so long. Sada, he is at the peak age for a fighter, 32, so we’ll see. I don’t think I’ll be favored in this fight, but I will go forward despite being the underdog.
Romanov (R) is a solid all-around MMA fighter

PROMOTER DON KING HOPES WBC WILL DECLARE BERMANE STIVERNE WBC INTERIM HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP

 

LAS VEGAS (Decembar. 17, 2016) – In the aftermath of Saturday’s news that the WBC Interim heavyweight title fight in Russia between former heavyweight champion Gold Cup and top-ranked Alexander Povetkin had been cancelled because Povetkin tested positive for drugs again, Hall of Fame promoter Don “Only In America” King offered a simple solution:

 

Declare his fighter, Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KOs), Las Vegas, the interim champion.

 

“I’ve had a long-standing respect with the WBC, beginning with Jose Sulaiman and now with his son, Mauricio, who has done an incredible job filling his father’s shoes as WBC president and just got re-elected for four more years. I stand with them and with the WBC for trying to do things the right way and with their organization’s safety procedures in regard to the boxers and the sport.

 

“It’s sad but this guy, Povetkin, has become a total embarrassment. He’s now tested positive in two WBC heavyweight title fights in a row. I’m all for winning and losing fights in the ring, but it’s time for justice to prevail. I don’t know what’s going on over there with so many Russian athletes in so many sports testing positive for drugs, but it has to stop. They cannot be allowed to continue to do things the way they are.

 

“The WBC should declare Stiverne world champion, make him the mandatory for (WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay) Wilder, and let’s move on with it. There are a lot of great heavyweight fights that can be made with willing boxers who don’t break the rules every fight.

 

“I’m very disappointed for Bermane, who’s now gone through two training camps with nothing to show for it. Why put up all that money for travel and expenses and then have no fight. He was ready to beat Povetkin and regain a part of the WBC title.

 

“And then – worse yetfor them to try and put it on Bermane for not fighting is just ludicrous. They’re taking the victim and trying to set him up as the criminal in this.’’

 

Stiverne pulled out after the WBC withdrew its sanction because Poverkin tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman revealed the positive test by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) on Saturday morning. Onda, the WBC withdrew its recognition of the fight.

“There’s no reason to fight if the WBC won’t sanction the bout,” said Stiverne, who could have gone through with the bout but without the sanction opted not to. “I’m very disappointed in the actions of Povetkin. I’ve been training for months to be victorious.

“To wake up the day of the fight, have breakfast, take a nap and then find out he tested positive is the worst possible situation.”

This is the second time in seven months Povetkin (30-1-0, 22 KOs) has tested positive for a banned substance. He tested positive for Meldonium ahead of a scheduled May bout with Wilder, cancelling that fight.

If it had transpired, the winner of the fight for the WBC interim heavyweight title would have become the mandatory challenger to Wilder. Stiverne lost the WBC title to Wilder on a 12-round decision on Jan. 15, 2015. He’s the only fighter to go the distance with Wilder.

Warriors Boxing čestitao Muratu Gassievu na osvojenoj tituli i pobjedi u cijelom bokserskom svijetu

‘Objasnite mi zašto je Denis Lebedev i dalje svjetski prvak.’
Warriors Boxing i Ural Boxing žele čestitati borcu kojeg zajedno promoviraju, potpuno novi IBF svjetski prvak u najtežoj kategoriji Murat “Gvožđe” Gassiev, za njegovu osvojenu titulu u decembru 3 protiv Denisa Lebedeva u Ledenoj palači Khodynka u Moskvi, Rusija.
U zabavnoj borbi, Gassiev (24-0, 17 KOs) od Vladikavkaz, Rusija, ispustio je svog zemljaka Lebedeva u petoj rundi i izborio podijeljenu odluku na desetke 116-112 i 116-111 protiv rezultata 114-113 za sada bivšeg šampiona.
U gubitku, Lebedev je ostao WBA svjetski prvak, jer taj pojas nije bio na liniji u borbi… gde su Ratnici’ izazov svijetu boksa leži.
“Izazivam bilo koga u boksačkom svijetu da mi da logično objašnjenje zašto je Denisu Lebedevu dozvoljeno da zadrži WBA titulu nakon poraza,” rekao je Leon Margules, Predsjednik Warriors Boxing. “Ni jedan ni drugi borac nisu prešli ograničenje kruzera. Ovo je bio jedinstveni prvak koji je branio svoje naslove. Apsurdno je i stvara opasan presedan u boksu. Zašto bi bilo koji jedinstveni šampion ikad ponovo stavio sve svoje pojaseve na kocku ako bi mogao zadržati jednog ili dva?, čak i ako izgube?”
Par se trebao sastati i za WBA i za IBF pojaseve, ali nekako manje od nedelju dana pre borbe, WBA je bila uvjerena da je dopustila ovaj krajnje nepravilan potez, što je omogućilo Lebedevu da ostane WBA Super svjetski prvak u kruzeru, pobijediti ili izgubiti, iznad WBA “Redovno” Svjetski prvak Beibut Shumenov i WBA “Privremeni” Svjetski prvak Yunier Dorticos.
“Išli smo zajedno s ovom parodijom i svejedno se borili, ali samo zato što je Lebedevljev tim zaprijetio da će povući borbu ako to ne učinimo. Smiješna je situacija i želim da svijet boksa zna što se ovdje dogodilo.”
Margules kaže da Lebedev kamp sada koristi ruske medije kako bi tvrdio da Gassiev odbija revanš.
“Odmah da to ispravim. VOLELI bismo se ponovo boriti protiv Lebedeva. Ovaj put ćemo ga još lakše pobijediti. Ali samo ako zaista postavi WBA pojas, onu koju je moj momak već osvojio od njega u očima svih, osim tijela za sankcionisanje.”
Boks politika na stranu, Margules i njegov tim kažu da su zadovoljni načinom na koji je izgledao 23-godišnji Gassiev 12 kruži po prvi put u životu.
“Murat je ispunio obećanje koje je pokazao tokom svog uspona na vrh divizije,” reče Margules. “Bio je u prvom krugu od 12 kola i zadržao je mirnoću. Nije puhao energiju kad je momka spustio u petom. I nije paničario kad je prvak, koji je vrlo tvrd momak, imao nekoliko dobrih rundi usred borbe. Jako sam sretan što promoviram sjajnog borca ​​poput njega.”

“Podsjeća me na mladog Rockyja Marciana,” rekao je glavni izvršni direktor Warriors Boxinga Luis DeCubas. “On je poput tenka koji se kreće prema naprijed koji ne možete zaustaviti. Na kraju će doći do vas. On je zvijezda u ovom sportu. Siguran sam da bi se pobjednik Šumenov / Dorticos mnogo radije borio protiv pravog ujedinjenog prvaka Gassieva, umjesto gubitnika Lebedeva. Ovakve situacije zaista štete našem sportu.”
