 LAS VEGAS (五月 18, 2016) – 世界拳擊協會 (WBA) 臨時重量級世界冠軍 Shumenov北部 (16-2, 10 科斯) makes his first title defense 這個星期六 夜晚 (五月 21) against WBA No. 11-額定 Junior “颶風” 賴特 (15-1-1, 12 科斯) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight 這個星期六 夜晚,” Shumenov說, “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. 花卉 (31-1-1, 20 科斯) 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 丹尼斯·列別捷夫 (28-2, 21 科斯), who also fights 這個星期六 in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) 冠軍 埃米利奧·維克多 “泰森德的Abasto Plaza” 拉米雷斯 (22-2-1, 17 科斯) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 天. The WBA, 然而, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “定期” cruiserweight world title fight 這個星期五 night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos 和No. 5 尤里·卡倫加 (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, 當然, 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. “每場戰鬥, 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.
