לאַס וועגאַס (מייַ 18, 2016) – וועלט באָקסינג אַססאָסיאַטיאָן (וובאַ) ינטערים קרויסערוועיגהט וועלט מייַסטער שומענאָוו בעיבו (16-2, 10 קאָס) makes his first title defense דעם שבת נאַכט (מייַ 21) against WBA No. 11-רייטאַד Junior “הוראַגאַן” רייט (15-1-1, 12 קאָס) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight דעם שבת נאַכט,” שומענאָוו האט, “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 ב.דזש. פלאָווערס (31-1-1, 20 קאָס) 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 דעניס לעבעדעוו (28-2, 21 קאָס), who also fights דעם שבת in Russia against International Boxing Federation (יבף) מייַסטער וויקטאָר עמיליאָ “טיסאָן דע אַבאַסטאָ” ראַמירעז (22-2-1, 17 קאָס) in a unification match.

The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 טעג. The WBA, אָבער, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “רעגולער” cruiserweight world title fight דעם פרייטיק night in France between No. 2 יוניער דאָרטיקאָס און ניט קיין. 5 יורי קאַלענגאַ (since upgraded to No. 3), especially after announcing that it would work this year to have only one world champion in each weight class.

שומענאָוו, אַוואַדע, 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. “יעדער קאַמף, 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.
