 LAS VEGAS (Mai 18, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Intérimaire champion Cruiserweight mondiale Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) makes his first title defense ce samedi nuit (Mai 21) against WBA No. 11-Évalué Junior “Ouragan” Wright (15-1-1, 12 KOs) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight ce samedi nuit,” Shumenov dit, “but I wish that I could fight more often. I’ve been ready since January. Every training session I gain new knowledge. I am a completely different fighter than in my last fight.”
Shumenov’s last fight was back in July, in which he defeated B.J. Fleurs (31-1-1, 20 KOs) by 12-round unanimous decision in Las Vegas to capture the vacant WBA Interim title, making the former WBA light heavyweight champion Shumenov the first professional boxer from Kazakhstan to be a two-division world champion.
By becoming the WBA Interim cruiserweight champion, Shumenov also became the No. 1 ranked mandatory challenger for WBA Super cruiserweight titlist Denis Lebedev (28-2, 21 KOs), who also fights ce samedi in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) champion Victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ramirez (22-2-1, 17 KOs) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovdans 120 journées. Le WBA, cependant, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “régulier” cruiserweight world title fight ce vendredi night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos et n. 5 Youri Kalenga (since upgraded to No. 3), especially after announcing that it would work this year to have only one world champion in each weight class.
Shumenov, bien sûr, is risking his mandatory position by fighting Wright, the former 5-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion. “I need to stay active,” Shumenov explained why he’s taking such a risk. “Chaque combat, I gain experience and it also helps me develop my fighting skills.”
 The 12-round Shumenov vs. Wright title fight is on the non-televised portion of The Cosmopolitan show.

WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion & Mandatory challenger Beibut Shumenov protests Dorticos-Kalenga WBA “régulier” world cruiserweight title fight
 LAS VEGAS (Avril 29, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs), the only Kazakhstan-native to hold world titles in two different weight classes, is disputing the WBA’s sanctioning of the WBA “régulier” cruiserweight world championship fight, Mai 20 à Paris, between two lower-ranked WBA fighters, Ne Pas. 2 yunier Dorticos et n. 5 Youri Kalenga (recently upgraded to No. 3).Dernière Juillet, Shumenov defeated B.J. Fleurs by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the mandatory challenger for WBA “régulier” champion cruiserweight Denis Lebedev, who was later elevated to “Super” champion.
Lebedev hasn’t fought a mandatory defense en un an, ironiquement, when he won a 12-round decision over Kalenga, who had earned his world title shot, like Shumenov, by becoming WBA Interim world champion. The WBA granted Lebedev an extension in terms of his due mandatory defense because of the Russian’s unification fight Mai 21 in Moscow against International Boxing Federation (IBF) tenant du titre Victor Emelio Ramirez.
“I’m very disappointed the WBA is sanctioning Dorticos-Kalenga for its ‘regular’ cruiserweight title, when I am the No. 1 ranked and current WBA Interim champion,” Shumenov dit. “I repeatedly informed the WBA through emails, texts and verbally that I was ready to fight back in January. I preferred to fight Lebedev but I was willing to fight Dorticos or anybody else in the top 15. For the past few months, I’ve been laboring over what I believe is a very bad decision, letting two lower-ranked fighters, No. 2 et n. 3 gars, fight for the WBA ‘regular’ titre. I am shocked and bewildered and do not understand the WBA’s rationale to have either of these fighters declared the WBA ‘regular’ champion without first defeating either Lebedev or me, the Interim champion and No. 1 rank contender.
“I appealed the decision but, jusque là, the WBA has done little in response to my appeals other than delay and stall before finally ruling that I will fight the Lebedev-Ramirez winner months from now, encore, ignoring my appeal to stop the regular title status of Dorticos-Kalenga and still sanction a fight between them, its No. 2 et n. 3 rated fighters, for the WBA ‘regular’ titre. This is unfair to fans, who deserve to watch the best fighting the best, especially when a world championship is at stake! We now have this odd situation where there will be three separate WBA cruiserweight fights in May, all for a different version of WBA world title I just don’t feel anyone should get the WBA ‘regular’ title without first defeating a champion or at least the top-ranked fighter in the division. The WBA knew I was and am ready to fight. Its decision makes no sense and, pour moi, diminishes the prestige and meaning of the title. I have respect for Dorticos and Kalenga but I think the legitimacy of any world title resulting from a fight between the No. 2 et n. 3 ranked contenders, when the No 1 mandatory contender who already holds the WBA Interim champion is ready and available, Pour dire le moins, is highly questionable.
“The WBA told me and announced to the media that it was working to have only one world champion in each division. While I’ve been sitting out the last four months waiting to fight, the WBA has decided to allow six different guys to fight for trois WBA cruiserweight world titles, practically on the same day, instead of crowning only one WBA cruiserweight world champion. I look forward to returning to the ring and my manager, Al HAYMON, has advised me that I will fight in May and we will announce next week. I want to thank everyone for their support and I apologize to my family, amis, fans and my country, Kazakhstan, for this chaos the WBA has caused that has damaged and delayed my professional boxing career. I will move forward and continue to fight inside the ring, letting my attorneys and manager fight this unfair situation outside the ring.”

Beibut Shumenov ciblage Lebedev-Ramirez cruiserweight unification combat pour le titre gagnant
|
LAS VEGAS (Mars 22, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Intérimaire champion Cruiserweight mondiale Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) est la cible 21 mai titre gagnant unification entre WBA titlist Denis Lebedev(28-2, 21 KOs) et la Fédération internationale de boxe (IBF) champion Victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ramirez (22-2-1, 17 KOs). Lorsque Shumenov vaincu B.J. Fleurs(31-1-1, 20 KOs) Juillet dernier à Las Vegas, l'ancien champion des lourds légers WBA est devenu champion WBA intérimaire ainsi que son No. 1 aspirant obligatoire.
Lebedev, cependant, n'a pas combattu un combat obligatoire depuis la dernière Avril 10 dans lequel il a remporté une décision en 12 rounds sur le champion puis WBA intérimaire Youri Kalenga. Lebedev made a voluntary tittle offense last November, arrêt Lateef Kayode dans le huitième round.
Shumenov sera de retour dans le ring le mois prochain (Avril), détails à venir, et puis il défiera le vainqueur Lebedev-Ramirez au sein 90/120 jours de leur résultat.
“Je suis impatient d'avoir la possibilité de lutter contre le vainqueur Lebedev-Ramirez, car il a toujours été mon but d'unifier les titres,” Shumenov a expliqué. “Lebedev has always been my target. Ramirez is the other fighter I’ve really wanted to fight and my manager tried to make a fight between us, trop.
“Je suis allé dans la salle de gym depuis mon dernier combat, une formation difficile à perfectionner mes compétences. Maintenant, I am a completely different fighter since I fought last July. My team is extremely happy and confident that I can beat all of the other world cruiserweight champions.”
 Dernière Décembre, Shumenov devait défendre sa couronne WBA intérimaire contre deux fois champion du monde cruiserweight Krzyesztof “Diablo” Wlodarczyk (50-3-1, 36 KOs), mais un problème médical grave concernant un membre de la famille a forcé Shumenov de se retirer de la lutte précitée.
“L'occasion de se battre le vainqueur de Lebedev / Ramirez dans un grand combat d'unification juste venu de cette année et je n'ai pas eu cette option quand j'accepté de combattre d'abord Wlodarczyk en Décembre et je n'a pas pu prévoir ce qui arriverait à mon famille personnellement,” 32-year-old Shumenov said. “Je n'ai aucune lutte contre Wlodarczyk à l'avenir, but only after I fight the Lebedev-Ramirez unification winner. En outre, à tout moment, Je n'ai aucune lutte contre WBA Non. 2-classé yunier Dorticos.
“Maintenant, Je suis à mon combat premier mais encore améliorer, entraînement avec mon entraîneur, Ismael Salas. I want to show the world my skills before I get too old. Literally, Je suis prêt à se battredemain and I’ve been ready for months. I’ll be back in the ring next month and then I’ll get my shot at the Lebedev-Ramirez winner.”
