Le champion du monde WBA cruiserweight veut
Denis Lebedev se bat pour arriver cet été

LAS VEGAS (Juin 5, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) champion du monde cruiserweight Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 KOs) arrêté Non. 11-Évalué Junior “Ouragan” Wright (15-2-1, 12 KOs) dans le 10e autour de leur mai 21stcombat pour le titre pour rester le challenger obligatoire de la WBA Super / International Boxing Federation (IBF) champion du monde cruiserweight Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 KOs). La WBA a mandaté un combat Lebedev-Shumenov dans 120 journées de mai 21.

Shumenov, 32, est un 2004 Olympien du Kazakhstan qui vit et s'entraîne à Las Vegas. Au cours de sa carrière de boxe professionnelle de 9 ans, Shumenov a battu quatre champions du monde – Gabriel Campillo, Byron Mitchell, William Joppy et Montell Griffin – ainsi que sept challengers titre mondial. Il est 8-2 (4 KOs) dans des combats de championnat du monde
Vous trouverez ci-dessous une entrevue individuelle avec Shumenov:
(Photo de Yumio Yamada)
Évaluez votre performance contre Junior Wright lors de votre dernier combat?
BS: “Je suis à 100% un combattant complètement différent de celui de mon précédent combat contre B.J. Fleurs. Mais, au début de ce combat, J'ai eu un peu de rouille annulaire. L'inactivité est vraiment difficile pour moi. J'aimerais être plus occupé et me battre plus souvent. J'ai déjà commencé à m'entraîner et à faire des exercices légers, juste après mon combat le 21 mai. Dans mon prochain combat, Je serai combattant encore plus différent contre Lebedev.”
Qu'est-ce que ça fait d'être le seul combattant de votre pays à être champion du monde en 2 divisions?
BS: “Je ne pense pas vraiment à ces choses. Mon objectif principal est d'unifier tous les titres et de combattre tous les meilleurs combattants.”
Vous avez toujours voulu vous unifier pour déterminer qui est le meilleur ou le vrai champion. En 20-11, vous avez presque combattu une unification en tant que poids lourd léger WBA mais alors champion WBO Juergen Braehmer qui est soudainement rentré chez vous quelques jours avant le combat d'unification prévu. Que ressentez-vous de savoir que vous combattrez Lebedev pour les titres WBA super et IBF cruiserweight dans 120 journées à partir de mai 21?
BS: “Cela a toujours été mon objectif – d'unifier – et je suis encore plus motivé en sachant que je vais me battre pour ces deux titres très bientôt.”
Pensez-vous qu'un accord sera conclu entre votre manager, Le promoteur d’Al Haymon et Lebedev, Andrei Ryabinsky, ou ira-t-il en bourse?
BS: “Ça ne me concerne pas, s'il va à une offre de bourse, ou où se trouve l'emplacement. Cependant, J'espère que les parties pourront trouver le meilleur accord possible pour toutes les personnes impliquées.”
Si Lebedev ne veut pas se battre contre vous et qu'il renonce à sa ceinture de super-titre WBA, Où allez-vous à partir de là, combattre le deuxième challenger obligatoire Yunier Dorticos?
BS: “J'ai entendu des rumeurs selon lesquelles Lebedev ne voulait pas me battre et, si c'est vrai et qu'il abandonne sa ceinture WBA Super, alors je veux combattre Dorticos parce que chaque organisation ne devrait avoir qu'un seul champion dans chaque division. J'espère que ce n'est pas le cas, comme j'attendais de combattre Lebedev depuis que j'ai remporté le titre provisoire WBA (obligatoire) de retour en juillet de 2015. La WBA nous a ordonné de nous battre dans 120 journées du 21 mai. Je suis prêt, disposé et capable de le combattre et j'espère qu'il est prêt, aussi.”

World champion Beibut Shumenov to defend title vs. Junior Wright this Saturday night in Las Vegas

Laisser un commentaire
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 Champ Zhakiyanov and Camp Respond to ‘Blatantly False’ Rumors Being Spread by Super Flyweight Contender Zolani Tete

Laisser un commentaire

Interim WBA World Bantamweight Champion Zhanat “ZZ” Zhakiyanov (26-1, 18 KOs) and his representatives are now forced to respond to the deliberate falsehoods being distributed by the team around South African super flyweight Zolani Tete.

Zhakiyanov of Petropavl, Kazakhstan, is a proud warrior, who has been willing to face anyone from the start of his career. Which is what makes the blatantly false and intentionally misleading allegations by Tete’s camp so infuriating.
Tete and his manager, Mla Tengimfene, have been feeding the media a fictional story that Zhakiyanov recently backed out of a purported fight between the two, supposedly scheduled for Juin 4 at Echo Arena in Liverpool.
One problem.
Zhakiyanov and his people were never even contacted about such a fight. It never existed.
“I have never heard from anyone about this fight,” said Zhakiyanov. “They are saying I can’t make the weight and that’s why I can’t fight him. I was never supposed to fight him! He and his people are telling stories.”
Zhakiyanov’s manager, Philippe Fondu, wonders why the media would even believe such a fight ever existed when a quick check of the WBA rule book would have eliminated all talk of such a match-up.
“There were some unfounded rumors on the net about Zhanat defending against Tete a while ago, but having never received any concrete proposal from anyone, including his new promoter Frank Warren, I never paid any specific attention to these rumors. But let’s be honest here. Zhanat Zhakiyanov is the reigning interim WBA Bantamweight champion and Tete is actually boxing for other world organizations (IBF and/or WBO). De plus, Tete is rated #9 in the WBA super-flyweight division (115 lb.). Such a contest could obviously not even be considered, as a WBA Interim 118-lb. champion can only defend his title against a WBA top-15 rated boxer in the 118 lb. division.”
Fondu also says that Zhakiyanov, promoted by Hatton Promotions, is fully capable of making the 118-lb weight limit and welcomes any and all viable fight proposals approvable by the WBA.
“I have been in boxing many years and I understand using the media to get a fighter’s name in print,” continued Fondu, “but they are using the name of a champion and proud representative of his home country of Kazakhstan to do it and it’s not right. Hopefully the media will get more responsible about checking the facts in the future.”

Crolla was biding his time landing some good shots on the the middle of the ring and he started to take over on a fading Barroso towards the end of round five. Dans six rondes, Crolla began to hurt Barroso and the Venezuelan challenger started to break down and seemed spent as he walked to his corner.

Pulev is 23-1. Chisora is 25-6.

Shayne Singleton stopped Anwil Anwar in round eight of their ten round welterweight contest.

Singleton looked like he was going to make it a quick and easy night as he dropped Anwar in round one from a left hook. Anwar was able to steady himself and have success over the next handful of rounds by getting in some good right hands. With the fight being on an even level, Singleton landed a big left that sent Anwar down in round eight. Anwar was clearly hurt, and Singleton jumped all over him and the fight was quickly stopped at 1:37 of round right.

Singleton is now 23-1 avec huit KOs. Anwar is 22-6.

Barroso and Camp Offer Sincere Respect for ‘Future Former Champion’ Crolla

Laisser un commentaire
Heading into his showdown with WBA World Lightweight Champion Anthony Crolla (30-4-3, 12 KOs) ce samedi night at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, Royaume-Uni, WBA #1-rated contender and interim champion Ismael Barroso (19-0-2, 18 KOs) and his team wish to offer their sincere respect to the “future former champion.”
“He is a true champion,” said Barroso of Crolla. “There were easier domestic fights for more money he could have taken, but he wanted to do the right thing and face his top challenger. I admire him for that.”
Malheureusement, the murderous punching Barroso, d'El Tigre, Venezuela, says he’ll be ending the brave Englishman’s run as champion Samedi nuit.
“Il (Crolla) won the WBA title by an upset last year and he’s a likeable man,” continued Barroso, “but all good things come to an end. When they help him up after the fightSamedi, he will have all my respect and I wish him very well for the rest of his life.”
Greg Cohen, promoter of Barroso, agrees with his fighter’s sentiment.
“Anthony is a true champion, but he’s in way over his head in this one. And him being in his home country and the fans backing him, that only makes Ismael that much more determined. Crolla has had a great and surprising run as champion, but there’s not much anyone can do for him in the face of the kind of power he’s up against.”

WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion & Mandatory challenger Beibut Shumenov protests Dorticos-Kalenga WBA “régulier” world cruiserweight title fight

Laisser un commentaire
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.”
