 LAS VEGAS (Mei 18, 2016) – Asosiasi Tinju Dunia (WBA) Juara penjelajah dunia interim Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 Biaya) makes his first title defense Sabtu ini malam (Mei 21) against WBA No. 11-rated Muda “Angin Topan” Wright (15-1-1, 12 Biaya) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight Sabtu ini malam,” Shumenov kata, “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. Bunga Bunga (31-1-1, 20 Biaya) 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 Biaya), who also fights Sabtu ini in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) juara Victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ramirez (22-2-1, 17 Biaya) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovdalam 120 hari hari. The WBA, akan tetapi, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “teratur” cruiserweight world title fight Jumat ini night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos dan Tidak. 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, tentu saja, 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. “Setiap pertarungan, 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.
