“Bosenský princ” Armin Mrkanovic je okraden v Západní Virginii

TISKOVÁ ZPRÁVA

Queens, NY (Červenec 5, 2017) – 24. června, Cruiserweight Armin Mrkanovic šel do svého souboje o titul UBF All-Americas s Joshem Himesem, myslel si, že i když bojoval na domácím území svého soupeře v Moundsville, Západní Virginie, že se mu dostane spravedlivého otřesu.

Nebylo tomu tak, protože většina ringside pozorovatelů věřila, že Mrkanovič měl vynést rozsudek, ale místo toho to byl Himes, kdo přišel s jednomyslným rozhodnutím po desítkách 77-75, 79-73 a nevysvětlitelné 80-72 záznam.
“Před bojem, Věděl jsem, že ho mohu a snadno porazím. Před bojem, Bylo mi řečeno, že moje žena uvízla na silnici při cestě do Západní Virginie, a můžu přiznat, že jsem první dvě kola prohrál,” řekl Mrkanovič. “Pět z dalších kol jsem pak jasně vyhrál, takže když ti dva rozhodčí dali nulu a jedno kolo ukazuje, že s tím bojem nebylo něco v pořádku.”
Mrkanovič tvrdí, že i Himes’ tým se shodl, že nesprávný muž zvedl ruku.
“Po skončení boje, jeho trenér se mi omluvil, a připustil, že zápas byl přinejhorším remízový, ale řekl jsem, že jsem ten boj měl vyhrát. Dva další nárožníci opakovali stejné pocity.”
Mrkanovič se chtěl na souboj podívat sám, ale od místní propagace se mu dostalo odmítnutí.
“Požádal jsem o kopii boje, a promotér mi odmítl ukázat. Nechtěl se podělit ze strachu, že se budu moci podívat na to, co se stalo. Udělalo by to dvě věci, Měl bych ještě jasnější argument plus, kdyby došlo k odvetnému zápasu, Mohl bych dále odhalit Himese’ nedostatky a být příště ještě lepší. Je to legrační, Bylo mi řečeno, že to hrstka lidí natáčela na Facebook Live, ale ta videa jsou záhadně pryč. Prezident UBF požádal o video, a nemůže si to ani prohlédnout. Místní noviny uvedly pouze výsledek boje, ale v jejich příběhu se výrazněji projevil jiný boj. Měl jsem štěstí, že jsem si mohl stáhnout jednu z těchto kopií do svého telefonu. Jsem schopen to zobrazit, ale protože původní kopie je vymazána, není sdílet.”
“Můj tým pracuje na možnostech, co můžeme s tímto justičním omylem udělat.”

Two-time world champion Beibut Shumenov Retires due to severe eye injury

TISKOVÁ ZPRÁVA
LAS VEGAS (Červen 26, 2017) – Dvě divize World Boxing Association (WBA) Světový šampion Shumenov Beibu has relinquished his WBA cruiserweight world title, due to his career-ending eye injury, and he has announced his retirement from the ring.
I have regrettably relinquished my WBA cruiserweight title and retired from boxing because of a traumatic eye injury suffered the week before my last scheduled fight,” Shumenov said from his Las Vegas home. “I’m extremely disappointed my boxing career has ended like this but, bohužel, injuries are part of this sport and there’s nothing I can do about it. I still have blurred vision and I need to have an additional surgery next month to try to further repair so I don’t risk blindness in my (doprava) eye.

I’d like to thank my family, my team throughout the years, friends and fans for their continued support all these years. I was proud to wear the WBA championship belt for many years as a two-division champion. I’m grateful to WBA President Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, jeho otec, and all those in my WBA family. It was quite a ride and I look forward with great anticipation to the next chapter of my life with my son and future endeavors.

Shumenov (17-2, 11 KO), a 2004 Kazachstán Olympian, was scheduled to face Interim WBA champion yunier Dorticos (21-0, 20 KO) in the April 29th Hlavní událostí Champions Premier Boxerské o FS1 a FOX Deportes, from Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas.

During his last slated sparring sessions, Shumenov suffered an eye injury that required immediate surgery, forcing him to withdraw from his Duben 29 fight against Dorticos.

Začátkem tohoto měsíce, the WBA received a letter from Shumenov’s eye surgeon, Dr. Kent L. Wellish, who wrote the following: “Pan. Beibut Shumenov has a serious ocular issue, a recurrent corneal erosion of his right eye, that with continued fighting, puts him at risk for permanently losing his eyesight.

It is my medical opinion that he should permanently refrain from sparring, training and boxing due to the severity of damage to his eye and the high risk of further damage of vision impairment, including the possibility of permanent vision loss.
The WBA accepted Shumenov’s relinquishment of his championship, noting that it expressed its gratitude and pride for his professional career with the WBA.

The last three years of Shumenov’s career was marred by inactivity, in which he fought only three times due to lack of managerial support, despite him training daily, in top shape and always being ready to fight. Vlastně, he sparred almost 400 rounds since his last fight (Květen 21, 2016) in anticipation of, první, a unification fight with Denis Lebedevand then for his fight versus Dorticos. Neither happened, nicméně, as boxing politics enabled Lebedev to avoid fighting Shumenov, kdo porazil BJ Flores a pak seJunior Anthony Wright in back-to-back WBA elimination fights to be Lebedev’s mandatory challenger.

Even Shumenov’s mandatory fight against Dorticos was unnecessarily delayed because Dorticos’ podporovatel, Caribe Promotions, defaulted its right to promote the fight it had won by purse bid, followed by continuous and numerous date changes from February to March until finally landing on Duben 29.

The 33-year-old Shumenov retires as the first and only two-division world champion to date from Kazakhstan, as well as the record-holder for fewest fights needed to win the world light heavyweight championship, 10.

During his 9 1/2 -year pro career, Shumenov defeated four world championsGabriel Campillo, Byron Mitchell, William Joppy a Montell Griffinas well as world title challengers Epifanio Mendoza, Vlacheslav Uzelkov, Danny Santiago, Enrique Ornelas, Tamas Kovacs, BJ Flores a Junior Wright.

Former world champion Imamu Mayfield interested in tonight’s JonesGunn clash

Freehold , NJ (Únor. 17, 2017) – Former IBF World Cruiserwight word champion Imamu Mayfield has thrown his hat in the ring to face the winner of tonight’s Roy Jones, Jr. – Bobby Gunn WBF World Cruiserweight title bout that will shown LIVE on Pay-Per-View.

Mayfield of Freehold , New Jersey ended a eight-year hiatus in losing to then-undefeated heavyweight Dan Pasciolla, but came back to Knockout a game Anthony Caputo Smith in six-rounds on 12. listopadu v Atlantic City.

Mayfield’s longtime friend/manager Vinny LaManna is adamant that that Mayfield will have the right style to beat Jones or Gunn.

This is a fight we would love to have. Imamu is in great shape, and after his win over Caputo Smith, he has the confidence that he can beat any cruiserweight out there,” řekl LAMANNA. “Jones has beating lesser guys, and a win over either of them would catapult Imamau back into the rankings and then he can see his way back to the title. The fight would make sense as it would put two older guys together in a fight that would have meaning. I am rooting for Gunn tonight, Bobby is a gentleman. If Bobby can pull the victory off dnes večer, Mayfield vs Gunn would be a big draw in New Jersey because both guys live in the Garden State. The point being is simple, if Imamu can’t beat the likes of Roy Jones’s or Bobby Gunn than who can he beat?”

Caribe Promotions loses rights to Shumenov-Dorticos WBA cruiserweight title fight; TGB Promotions awarded rights

LAS VEGAS (Leden 31, 2017) – Světová boxerská asociace (WBA) has notified WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu and WBA Interim cruiserweight title-holder yunier Dorticos, as well as their representatives, that Caribe Promotions has lost its rights to promote the WBA mandated Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight.
Dorticós’ podporovatel, Caribe Promotions, originally won the Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight rights last November with a winning purse bid of $350,001, which required a fight date v 90 dny. Although rumored to be held in mid-February in either Miami or Las Vegas, Caribe’s ability and willingness to actually promote the fight came into question in January, 2017. The WBA demanded that Caribe confirm its intentions and even granted Caribe additional time to respond, but Caribe failed to file confirmation of a fight date with the WBA. Because Caribe was unable to confirm its intentions, the WBA had little choice but to award rights to the second-highest purse bidder, Tom Brown’s TGB Promotions.
I last fought 21.května and I have been in the gym since June because I was supposed to fight Lebedev in September,” said a terribly frustrated Shumenov. “But he backed out of the fight with me once again and I have been ready to fight since then. I signed a bout agreement to fight Dorticos on 11. únorav Miami, but Dorticos and his promoter disappeared after I signed. They’re full of it; all they do is talk. I can’t wait to knock him out. I am waiting on my manager to call me right now to tell me the new fight date with TGB.
Caribe Promotions has been forced to also forfeit its $35,000 purse bid deposit with 10-percent off the top going to the WBA and remainder ($31,500) distributed to Shumenov and Dorticos, příslušně, on a 75-25 percent basis due to its failure to promote the fight.
Shumenov (17-2, 11 KO), fighting out of Las Vegas by way of Kazakhstan, fought last Květen 21, když se zastavil 15-1-1 Junior Wright v 10th round of their Las Vegas fight for the vacant WBA World cruiserweight title. The WBA had ruled that the Shumenov-Wright winner would be the mandatory challenger for its “Super” mistr, Lebedev, v 90 dny, nicméně, it later allowed unified cruiserweight titlist Lebedev (against Shumenov’s strong objections) to fight his International Boxing Federation (IBF) mandatory defense against challenger Murat Gassiev, effectively mandating an eliminator between Shumenov and Dorticos with that winner to fight the winner of Lebedev-Gassiev. Only days prior to the Lebedev-Gassiev title fight, Lebedev was inexplicably allowed to fight Gassiev without defending his WBA title, as only his IBF belt was on the line. Gassiev (24-0) porazil Lebeděva (29-3) by way of a 12-round split decision in Moscow to become the IBF cruiserweight world champion and Lebedev remains the WBA Super cruiserweight world champion, at least for now. The WBA is expected to rule on Shumenov’s objections to Lebedev’s fight against Gassiev, Lebedev’s status and whether Lebedev will remain champion having lost his last fight.
Dorticos has made false claims in the media that Shumenov, who had been waiting for the WBA to rule on his petitions to force Lebedev to fight him without further delay, had been avoiding him. It is ironic now that Dorticosown promoter first sought to delay and has now defaulted on the long-awaited confrontation by failing to promote the Shumenov-Dorticos title fight within the WBA deadline.
A former WBA Super light heavyweight world champion, the 33-year-old Shumenov is the first two-division world champion from a Soviet-bloc country.

Russian cruiserweight Alexey Zubov knows what’s at stake when he enters the ring tuto neděli v Detroitu.
With a second chance in a nationally televised fight possibly looming on the nearby horizon, Zubov (13-1, 8 KO) from Magnitogorsk, Rusko, will face Budapest, Hungary’s Andras Csomor (18-14-1, 14 KO) v osm-dokola záchvat.
Zubov vs. Csomor will be one of the main supporting bouts in promoter Dmitriy Salita’s special Sunday edition of his “Detroit Brawl” series on Leden 22, 2017, at Masonic Temple. In the night’s eight-round main event, Detroit’s perennial welterweight gate keeper and fan favorite LanardoPain ServerTyner (30-10-2, 19 KO) will face Nagykanizsa, Hungary’s Istvan Dernanecz (10-4, 7 KO). in the eight-round co-main event Detroit bantamweight James Gordon Smith (11-0, 6 KO) will face Kiskunfelegyhaza, Hungary’s Szilveszter Ajtai (10-3-1, 5 KO).

For this training camp, Zubov worked with his trainer, the late Emanuel Steward’s nephew Javan “Cukr” Kopec, as he helped prepare former WBC super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell for his recent fight.
Everything was perfect in my training this time,” said Zubov. “I love working with Javan, he has helped me grow so much as a fighter. And Anthony Dirrell taught me a great deal as well. I will be showing what I’ve learned tuto neděli.”
Although he’s not taking him lightly, the formerly heavily decorated amateur Zubov says his studies of opponent Csomor haven’t revealed much he hasn’t seen before.
I’ve watched a little bit of him on tape and he does nothing out of the ordinary. I’ve fought guys like him before who have the same style. And I always handle them very well.
Zubov, looking to face the likes of WBO champ Oleksandr Usyk, countryman Denis Lebedev, or any of the division’s other big names, says his return to national television will be nothing like the first time. Zubov suffered his only career loss, a unanimous decision to Moldova’s Constantin Bejenaru, last April at the Turning Stone in Verona, New York and live on ShoBox.
I was nervous. I never fought on a big show before that and I choked up,” explained Zubov of the loss. Next time will be totally different. I have been around big-time boxing on big shows enough times now. I will be ready.
Also seeing action that night will be former cruiserweight world title challenger “Hurikán” Junior Wright (15-2-1, 12 KO) from Evanston, Illinois, making his heavyweight debut against Detroit’s Damon McCreary (15-6, 11 KO) in a six-rounder.

Undefeated Alabama super featherweight Dwayne Zeigler (5-0-1, 5 KO) will face Aaron Hollis (3-3, 2 KO) of Cincinnati in a four-round super featherweight fight.
Kronk welterweight Jacob Bonas (2-0-1, 1 KO), Toledo super middleweight DeAndre Ware (8-0, 6 KO) and undefeated Detroit heavyweight Marcus Carter (1-0, 1 KO) will face opponents that are yet to be announced.
Pro boj v noci, dveře se otevírají na 4:00 odpoledne a boje začínají v 5:00 odpoledne. The Masonic Temple is located at 500 Temple Street in Detroit.

Bigger, Stronger Heavyweight Version of Junior Wright to be Unleashed against McCreary at Detroit Brawl on January 22, at Masonic Temple in Detroit

Former cruiserweight world title challenger “Hurikán” Junior Wright has been hitting the weights hard and will enter the ring for the first time as a heavyweight in his next ring appearance.
Wright (15-2-1, 12 KO) from Evanston, Illinois, expects to come in at a muscular 225 lbs. when he takes on Detroit’s Damon McCreary (15-6, 11 KO) in an eight-round featured bout on promoter Dmitriy Salita’s special Neděle edition of his “Detroit Brawl” series on Leden 22, 2017, at Masonic Temple in Detroit.
Once again sponsored by the Greektown Casino Hotel, vstupenky “Detroit Brawl” jsou oceněny VIP $123, Box sedadla jsou $80 a $60, Posezení je $40, a $20. They are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.com.
“Školení probíhá dobře,” said Wright. “I’m treating this like another world title fight because at this level anyone could beat you on any day.
Despite a short, 50-boj, amateur career, Wright was a Chicago Golden Gloves winner as an amateur. He was able to drop Beibut Shumenov in May of this year, challenging for the WBA world championship.
The biggest thing I learned in that fight is to relax in the ring. When you’re relaxed, you are more aware in there and can pace yourself a lot better.
Wright’s trainer, Rick Wilson, says the decision to gain 25 lbs. gives the fighter, who he says can still get down to cruiserweight’s 200-lb limit, more career options moving forward.
Junior is like a Holyfield-type of fighter who is a cruiserweight in his early 20s and then grows into a full-fledged heavyweight near his 30s. People like small, agile heavyweights better than the lumbering monsters hugging each other all fight. They make for more exciting fights.
Wilson says because of Wright’s relative lack of experience, the world hasn’t seen the best of him yet.
How many fighters have had two world title fights by their 18th pro fight (the fight against Chakhkiev was for the IBO World Cruiserweight Championship) after having just 50 amatérské zápasy?” he asked. “Plus Junior was knocking everybody out, so he had very few rounds in the bank and went in on short notice.
