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

Jätä kommentti
LAS VEGAS (Toukokuu 18, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Väliaikainen Cruiserweight Maailmanmestari Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) makes his first title defense lauantaina yö (Toukokuu 21) against WBA No. 11-Rated Junior “Hurrikaani” 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 lauantaina yö,” Shumenov sanoi, “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. Kukkia (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 lauantaina in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) mestari 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 päivää. The WBA, kuitenkin, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “säännöllinen” cruiserweight world title fight perjantaina night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos ja o. 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, tietenkin, 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. “Jokainen taistelu, 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 “säännöllinen” world cruiserweight title fight

Jätä kommentti
LAS VEGAS (Huhtikuu 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 “säännöllinen” cruiserweight world championship fight, Toukokuu 20 Pariisissa, between two lower-ranked WBA fighters, Älä. 2 yunier Dorticos ja o. 5 Youri Kalenga (recently upgraded to No. 3).
Viime heinäkuussa, Shumenov defeated B. J. Kukkia by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the mandatory challenger for WBA “säännöllinen” Runkosarja mestari Denis Lebedev, who was later elevated to “Super” mestari.
Lebedev hasn’t fought a mandatory defense vuodessa, ironisesti, 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 Toukokuu 21 in Moscow against International Boxing Federation (IBF) oikeudenhaltijan 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 sanoi. “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 ja o. 3 te, fight for the WBA ‘regular’ otsikko. 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, niin kaukana, 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, vielä, ignoring my appeal to stop the regular title status of Dorticos-Kalenga and still sanction a fight between them, its No. 2 ja o. 3 rated fighters, for the WBA ‘regular’ otsikko. 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, minun mielestäni, 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 ja o. 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 kolme 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, ystävät, fans and my country, Kazakstan, 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.”

“Olen ollut kuntosalilla jälkeen viimeinen taistelu, koulutus kovaa täydellinen taitojani. Nyt, 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.”
viime joulukuussa, Shumenov oli määrä puolustaa väliaikaiselle WBA kruunun kaksinkertainen maailmanmestari Runkosarja mestari Krzyesztof “diablo” Wlodarczyk (50-3-1, 36 KOs), mutta vakava lääketieteellinen asia koskee perheenjäsen pakko Shumenov vetäytyä edellä mainitun taistelu.
“Mahdollisuus taistella voittaja Lebedevin / Ramirez isossa yhdistymistä taistelu vain tuli tämän vuoden ja en ole tätä mahdollisuutta takaisin kun suostuin aluksi taistella Wlodarczyk takaisin joulukuussa ja en voinut ennakoida mitä tapahtuisi minun perhe henkilökohtaisesti,” 32-year-old Shumenov said. “Minulla ei ole ongelma taistelevat Wlodarczyk tulevaisuudessa, but only after I fight the Lebedev-Ramirez unification winner. Lisäksi, milloin vain, Minulla ei ole mitään taistelevat WBA Ei. 2-sijoittui yunier Dorticos.
“Right now, Olen minun taistelevat prime silti parantaa, koulutus minun valmentaja, Ismael Salas. I want to show the world my skills before I get too old. Literally, Olen valmis taistelemaanhuomenna 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.”
