 לאס וגאס (מאי 18, 2016) – עולם אגרוף איגוד (WBA) אלוף ביניים Cruiserweight העולם Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 קוס) makes his first title defense בשבת קרובה לילה (מאי 21) against WBA No. 11-מדורג ג'וניור “הוריקן” רייט (15-1-1, 12 קוס) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight בשבת קרובה לילה,” Shumenov אמר, “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. פרחים (31-1-1, 20 קוס) 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 דניס לבדב (28-2, 21 קוס), who also fights בשבת קרובה in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) אלוף ויקטור אמיליו “טייסון דה אבסטו” רמירז (22-2-1, 17 קוס) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 ימים. The WBA, עם זאת, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “רגיל” cruiserweight world title fight ביום שישי הקרוב night in France between No. 2 יוניור Dorticos ולא. 5 היורים 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, כמובן, 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. “כל מאבק, 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.
