 LAS VEGAS (4月 29, 2016) – 世界ボクシング協会 (WBA) Interim cruiserweight world champion Shumenovトンキン (16-2, 10 戦績), the only Kazakhstan-native to hold world titles in two different weight classes, is disputing the WBA’s sanctioning of the WBA “定期的な” cruiserweight world championship fight, 5月 20 パリで, between two lower-ranked WBA fighters, しない. 2 yunier Dorticos といいえ. 5 ユーリKalenga (recently upgraded to No. 3).最後の7月, シュメノフの敗北 B.J. フラワーズ by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the mandatory challenger for WBA “定期的な” クルーザーチャンピオン デニス·レベデフ, who was later elevated to “スーパー” チャンピオン.
Lebedev hasn’t fought a mandatory defense 1年で, 皮肉なことに, 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 5月 21 in Moscow against International Boxing Federation (IBF) タイトルホルダー ビクター・エミリオ・ラミレス.
“I’m very disappointed the WBA is sanctioning Dorticos-Kalenga for its ‘regular’ クルーザー級王座, when I am the No. 1 ranked and current WBA Interim champion,” Shumenovは言いました. “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, ノー. 2 といいえ. 3 みんな, fight for the WBA ‘regular’ タイトル. 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, これまでのところ, 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, まだ, ignoring my appeal to stop the regular title status of Dorticos-Kalenga and still sanction a fight between them, its No. 2 といいえ. 3 rated fighters, for the WBA ‘regular’ タイトル. 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, 私の考えでは, 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 といいえ. 3 ranked contenders, when the No 1 mandatory contender who already holds the WBA Interim champion is ready and available, 控えめに言っても, 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 3 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, アル·ヘイモン, 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, 友人, fans and my country, カザフスタン, 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.”
