 LAS VEGAS (Maio 18, 2016) – Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (WBA) Interim campión do Cruiserweight do mundo Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 Kos) makes his first title defense este sábado noite (Maio 21) against WBA No. 11-Clasificado Junior “Furacán” 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 este sábado noite,” Shumenov dixo, “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. Flores (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 este sábado in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) campión 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 Shumenovwithin 120 días. The WBA, con todo, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “regular” cruiserweight world title fight este venres night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticós e 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, claro, 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. “Cada loita, 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 “regular” world cruiserweight title fight
 LAS VEGAS (Abril 29, 2016) – Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (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 “regular” cruiserweight world championship fight, Maio 20 en París, between two lower-ranked WBA fighters, Non. 2 yunier Dorticós e n. 5 Youri Kalenga (recently upgraded to No. 3).En xullo pasado, Shumenov defeated B.J. Flores by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the mandatory challenger for WBA “regular” campión cruiserweight Denis Lebedev, who was later elevated to “Super” campión.
Lebedev hasn’t fought a mandatory defense nun ano, irónicamente, 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 Maio 21 in Moscow against International Boxing Federation (IBF) titular 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 dixo. “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, o Non. 2 e n. 3 caras, fight for the WBA ‘regular’ Título. 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, so far, 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, aínda, ignoring my appeal to stop the regular title status of Dorticos-Kalenga and still sanction a fight between them, its No. 2 e n. 3 rated fighters, for the WBA ‘regular’ Título. 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, Na miña opinión, 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 e n. 3 ranked contenders, when the No 1 mandatory contender who already holds the WBA Interim champion is ready and available, to say the least, 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 tres 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, amigos, fans and my country, Casaquistán, 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.”

“A oportunidade de loitar co gañador Lebedev / Ramirez nunha gran loita de unificación só veu sobre este ano e eu non teño esa opción de volta cando acordaron loitar inicialmente Wlodarczyk en decembro e eu era incapaz de prever o que acontecería coa miña familia persoalmente,” 32-year-old Shumenov said. “Non teño ningún problema loitando Wlodarczyk no futuro, but only after I fight the Lebedev-Ramirez unification winner. Alén, en calquera momento, Non teño ningún problema loitando WBA non. 2-clasificados yunier Dorticós.
“Agora, Eu estou no meu loita nobre e aínda mellorar, formación co meu adestrador, Ismael Salas. I want to show the world my skills before I get too old. Literally, Estou preparado para loitarmañá 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.”
