HOUSTON, TEXAS (Mars 31, 2015) – Bombs will be flying once again when Gary Shaw Productions og Savarese Promotions’ undefeated Light-Heavyweight slugger, Medzhid “B-52” Bektemirov (15-0, 12 Kos), gerir leið sína aftur til hringinn gegn Michael Gbenga (20-18, 20 Kos). Bektemirov vs. Gbenga, 8-umferð lota, mun fara fram Laugardagur, Apríl 18, at College Park Center located on the campus of the University of Texas Arlington on the undercard of Crawford-Dulorme.
Ranked #10 komi WBA, Bektemirov mun leita annað sigur gegn Gbenga, as he looks to climb up the Light-Heavyweight rankings while keeping his undefeated record intact. His mission, eins og alltaf, er að fá andstæðing sinn út þaðan snemma.
“Ég er að leita að leita og eyðileggja alla í vegi mínum,” Said Medzhid Bektemirov. “Þjálfari minn Ronnie Shields has me working on a variety of different combinations that I feel is making me a better fighter. I’m in the gym everyday working extremely hard on everything. Now that I’m ranked in the WBA, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My co-promoters Gary Shaw and Lou Savarese have assured me a big fight if I continue to win. I know Gbenga has a lot of power, en mér finnst högg mín vera meira sprengiefni og ég ætla að gunning fyrir knockout frá opnun bjalla. Ég er tilbúinn til að sleppa sprengjum!”
“Lou og ég erum að gera okkar besta til að halda B-52 upptekinn,” sagði Gary Shaw. “This will be his second fight in a little over a month and we want him on the fast track to a world title. Our goal is to move him up wisely against opponents that will prepare him for the next level. He keeps knocking everyone out so we have to keep him fighting as much as possible.”
“Ég er mjög ánægður að Gary Shaw var fær til fá B-52 á þessu korti,” sagði Lou Savarese. “Bektemirov is thrilled to be fighting so soon after a spectacular performance in his last fight which took place last month. I like what Ronnie Shields is doing with him. He’s improving with each fight and that’s what Gary and I are looking for. We want B-52 ready for the next level.”
