 LAS VEGAS (Мај 18, 2016) – Светската боксерска асоцијација (ВБА) Времената крузер Светскиот шампион Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 КО) makes his first title defense оваа сабота ноќ (Мај 21) against WBA No. 11-Номинална Junior “Ураганот” Рајт (15-1-1, 12 КО) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight оваа сабота ноќ,” Shumenov рече, “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. Цвеќиња (31-1-1, 20 КО) 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 Денис Лебедев (28-2, 21 КО), who also fights оваа сабота in Russia against International Boxing Federation (ИБФ) шампион Виктор Емилио “Тајсон де Abasto” Рамирез (22-2-1, 17 КО) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 дена. The WBA, Меѓутоа, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “редовно” cruiserweight world title fight овој петок night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos и Не. 5 Јури 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, се разбира, 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. “Секоја борба, 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.
