 LAS VEGAS (Maio 18, 2016) – Associação Mundial de Boxe (WBA) Interim campeão do Cruiserweight do mundo Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) makes his first title defense neste sábado noite (Maio 21) against WBA No. 11-Classificado Junior “Furacão” 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 neste sábado noite,” Shumenov disse, “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 neste sábado in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) campeão 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 Shumenovdentro de 120 dias. The WBA, contudo, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “regular” cruiserweight world title fight nesta sexta-feira 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 luta, 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) – Associação Mundial de Boxe (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 em Paris, between two lower-ranked WBA fighters, Não. 2 yunier Dorticós e n. 5 Youri Kalenga (recently upgraded to No. 3).Em julho passado, Shumenov defeated B.J. Flores by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the mandatory challenger for WBA “regular” campeão cruiserweight Denis Lebedev, who was later elevated to “Super” campeão.
Lebedev hasn’t fought a mandatory defense em um ano, ironicamente, 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 disse. “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 Não. 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, ainda, 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 minha opinião, 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, para dizer o mínimo, 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 três 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, Cazaquistão, 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 segmentação Lebedev-Ramirez cruiserweight unificação vencedor luta pelo título
|
LAS VEGAS (Março 22, 2016) – Associação Mundial de Boxe (WBA) Interim campeão do Cruiserweight do mundo Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) tem como alvo o 21 de maio vencedor de unificação do título entre WBA campeão Denis Lebedev(28-2, 21 KOs) e Federação Internacional de Boxe (IBF) campeão Victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ramirez (22-2-1, 17 KOs). Quando Shumenov derrotado B.J. Flores(31-1-1, 20 KOs) em julho passado em Las Vegas, o ex-WBA campeão meio-pesado se tornou WBA campeão interino, bem como a sua não. 1 candidato obrigatória.
Lebedev, contudo, não lutou uma luta obrigatória desde a última Abril 10 no qual ele ganhou uma decisão 12-redonda sobre o campeão WBA, em seguida, intercalar Youri Kalenga. Lebedev made a voluntary tittle offense last November, paragem Lateef Kayode na oitava rodada.
Shumenov estará de volta no ringue no próximo mês (Abril), detalhes completos próxima, e então ele vai desafiar o vencedor Lebedev-Ramirez dentro 90/120 dias de seu resultado.
“Estou ansioso para ter a oportunidade de lutar com o vencedor Lebedev-Ramirez, porque ele sempre foi meu objetivo de unificar os títulos,” Shumenov explicou. “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, muito.
“Eu estive no ginásio desde a minha última luta, treinamento duro para aperfeiçoar minhas habilidades. Agora, 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.”
 Em dezembro passado, Shumenov foi programado para defender seu Interim coroa WBA contra o duas vezes campeão mundial cruiserweight Krzyesztof “Diablo” Wlodarczyk (50-3-1, 36 KOs), mas um problema médico sério relativo a um membro da família forçado Shumenov retirar-se da luta acima mencionada.
“A oportunidade de lutar com o vencedor de Lebedev / Ramirez em uma grande luta de unificação só veio sobre este ano e eu não tenho essa opção de volta quando eu concordaram em lutar inicialmente Wlodarczyk em dezembro e eu era incapaz de prever o que aconteceria com a minha família pessoalmente,” 32-year-old Shumenov said. “Não tenho nenhum problema lutando Wlodarczyk no futuro, but only after I fight the Lebedev-Ramirez unification winner. Além, a qualquer momento, Não tenho nenhum problema lutando WBA Não. 2-classificados yunier Dorticós.
“Agora, Eu estou no meu luta nobre e ainda melhorar, formação com o meu treinador, Ismael Salas. I want to show the world my skills before I get too old. Literally, Eu estou pronto para lutaramanhã 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.”
