 Лас-Вегас (Травня 18, 2016) – Всесвітня боксерська асоціація (WBA) Тимчасовий чемпіон світу у важкій Шуменов Бакбо (16-2, 10 КО) makes his first title defense в цю суботу ніч (Травня 21) against WBA No. 11-номінальний Junior “Ураган” Райт (15-1-1, 12 КО) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight в цю суботу ніч,” Шуменов сказав, “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. Квіти (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 Лебедєв (28-2, 21 КО), who also fights в цю суботу in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) чемпіон Віктор Еміліо “Тайсон де Abasto” Рамірес (22-2-1, 17 КО) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 днів. The WBA, проте, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “регулярний” cruiserweight world title fight в цю п'ятницю night in France between No. 2 Юніер Дортікос і Ні. 5 Юрій Каленга (since upgraded to No. 3), especially after announcing that it would work this year to have only one world champion in each weight class.
Шуменов, звичайно, 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. “Кожен бій, 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.
