 LAS VEGAS (Mejju 18, 2016) – Assoċjazzjoni Dinjija Boxing (WBA) Interim champion Cruiserweight Dinja Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 Kos) makes his first title defense din is-Sibt lejl (Mejju 21) against WBA No. 11-ratata Junior “Uragan” 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 din is-Sibt lejl,” Shumenov qal, “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. Fjuri (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 din is-Sibt in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) champion victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ramírez (22-2-1, 17 Kos) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 jiem. The WBA, madankollu, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “regolari” cruiserweight world title fight din il-ġimgħa night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos u Nru. 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, tal-kors, 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. “Kull ġlieda, 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.
