Warriors Boxing Congratulates Murat Gassiev for Title Winning Victory and Issues Challenge to the Entire Boxing World

‘Explain to me why Denis Lebedev is still world champion.
Warriors Boxing and Ural Boxing wish to congratulate the fighter they co-promote, brand-new IBF Cruiserweight World Champion Murat “Hierro” Gassiev, for his title-winning victory on December 3 against Denis Lebedev at the Khodynka Ice Palace in Moscow, Rusia.
In an entertaining fight, Gassiev (24-0, 17 KOs) de Vladikavkaz, Rusia, dropped his countryman Lebedev in the fifth round and won a split decision by scores of 116-112 y 116-111 against a score of 114-113 for the now-former champ.
In losing, Lebedev remained the WBA World Champion, as that belt was not on the line in the fightwhich is where Warriorschallenge to the boxing world lies.
I challenge anyone in the boxing world to give me a logical explanation why Denis Lebedev was allowed to keep his WBA title after losing,” dijo Leon Margules, Presidente de Warriors Boxing. “Neither fighter was over the cruiserweight limit. This was a unified champion defending his titles. It’s absurd and it sets a dangerous precedent in boxing. Why would any unified champion ever put all their belts on the line again if they could keep one or two, even if they lose?”
The pair were supposed to meet for both the WBA and IBF belts, but somehow less than a week before the fight, the WBA was convinced to allow this highly irregular move, which allowed Lebedev to remain WBA Super World Cruiserweight Champion, ganar o perder, above WBA “Regular” World Champion Beibut Shumenov and WBA “Interino” World Champion Yunier Dorticos.
We went along with this travesty and fought anyway, but only because Lebedev’s team threatened to pull the fight if we didn’t. It’s a ridiculous situation and I want the boxing world to know what went down here.
Margules says Lebedev’s camp are now using the Russian media to claim Gassiev is refusing a rematch.
Let me set that straight right now. We would LOVE to fight Lebedev again. We’ll beat him even more easily this time. But only if he actually puts the WBA belt on the line, the one my guy has already won from him in the eyes of everyone but the sanctioning body.
Boxing politics aside, Margules and his team say they are happy with the way the 23-year-old Gassiev looked in going 12 rounds for the first time in his life.
Murat fulfilled the promise he has shown throughout his ascension to the top of the division,” said Margules. “He was in his first 12-rounder and he kept his composure. He didn’t blow his energy when he had the guy down in the fifth. And he didn’t panic when the champion, who is a very tough guy, had a few good rounds in the middle of the fight. I am very happy to be promoting a terrific fighter like him.

He reminds me of a young Rocky Marciano,” said Warriors Boxing’s COO Luis DeCubas. “He’s like a tank coming forward that you can’t stop. He will get to you eventually. He’s a star in this sport. I am sure the Shumenov/Dorticos winner would much rather fight the real unified champion Gassiev, instead of the loser Lebedev. These types of situations really hurt our sport.

Team Shumenov responds to Lebedev vs. Gassiev world title fight announcement

LAS VEGAS (Agosto 17,, 2016) – Team Shumenov believes it is worth reviewing recent history enlight of the recent announcement that WBA Super/IBF cruiserweight world champion Denis Lebedev will defend against Murat Gassiev in late November or early December in Russia: A condition for allowing Lebedev to fight IBF cruiserweight champion Victor Emilio Ramirez en mayo 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu dentro 120 día. (Lebedev hasn’t made a mandatory defense since April 10, 2015.) Shumenov has done everything to make that fight, while Lebedev has done nothing but run from his mandatory title fight. When it first became obvious in June that Lebedev was trying to avoid his mandated WBA title fight, Shumenov repeatedly requested that the WBA order a purse bid.
Lebedev ignored the WBA and then recently sought, after the WBA deadline had passed, a special permit allowing him to fight Gassiev, which Shumenov officially objected to dentro 48 horas. Campeón mundial interino de peso crucero de la AMB Yunier Dorticos has also objected. At this present time, aunque, Team Shumenov is still waiting to hear the WBA’s ruling in terms of stripping Lebedev if he decides to fight Gassiev instead of Shumenov.
It really is very simple. Shumenov wants to fight Lebedev, who is doing everything he can to avoid it. If Lebedev doesn’t care to meet his obligations and conditions of his prior special permit, he should relinquish his title. Lebedev and his people need to rejoin the rest of us in the real world and stop claiming that Shumenov has not been pushing for this fight.
According to a recent report, Lebedev’s camp members erroneously reported that, “Shumenov is not exactly pushing the issue” (to fight Lebedev next).

Team Shumenov petitions WBA to declare purse bid for mandatory title fight vs. Lebedev or strip Lebedev of his world cruiserweight title belt

LAS VEGAS (Julio 22, 2016) – It has been more than a month since World Boxing Association (AMB) world cruiserweight champion Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs), based on the much publicized WBA Cruiserweight Tournament rules and regulations, petitioned the WBA to either declare a purse bid for a title fight between WBA Super cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev, or strip Lebedev of his title belt for being non-compliant.
En julio pasado, Shumenov derrotado B.J. Flores by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the WBA mandatory challenger for Lebedev, who hasn’t fought a mandatory defense since April 10, 2015.
The WBA issued a resolution this past April that Lebedev, quien derrotó Victor Emelio Ramirez in May to also become International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion, must fight Shumenov dentro 120 día of the latter’s May 21, 2016 knockout victory over Júnior Wright.
On record for making changes to insure only one world champion in each division, incredibly, the WBA presently has 38 different world title belt holders in only 17 diferentes clases de peso. Only three WBA divisions have one world champion – super ligero, lightweight and light flyweightand eight have three world titlists, including its cruiserweight division, which presently has world champions in Lebedev, Shumenov and Interim champion Yunier Dorticos, who is the WBA second mandatory challenger.
In an apparent public relations move, the WBA has suddenly declared this month a rash of mandatory defenses, sin embargo, declaring and actually making these title fights are two different things, as Shumenov has unfortunately learned. The WBA should have ordered a Lebedev vs. Shumenov purse bid on June 21, 2016, when the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement, but the WBA failed to do so. When Shumenov repeated his request for a purse bid in June, the WBA failed once again to act.
WBA Rule D: Purse Bids
1. Call For Purse Bid. Bout participants shall reach an agreement on holding the bout no later than ninety (90) days before the expiration of the mandatory period. To confirm an agreement has been reached, the WBA must receive acceptable bout contracts signed by the boxers certifying they have reached terms for the bout. If no agreement has been reached, the Championships Committee, with the approval of the President, can call for Purse bid. A boxer may also request a purse bid at any time.
Lebedev’s promoter, Andrei Ryabinsky, has been quoted in stories about having a deal in place for his fighter to defend his IBF title first. In effect, the WBA is allowing Lebedev to hold the WBA Super cruiserweight title belt hostage, leveraging it against his IBF crown. Shumenov, who is a former WBA Super light heavyweight champion, has now proudly worn the WBA belt around his waist for a total of nearly five years.
I was looking forward to fighting Lebedev and I don’t understand his unwillingness and refusal to step in the ring with me,” Shumenov dijo.
Team Shumenov is extremely disappointed in the WBA’s failure to act on making the fight with Lebedev that it mandated, in addition to being discouraged by the WBA’s failure, after several requests had been made, to either set a purse bid date or strip Lebedev of his world title belt. Not knowing if or when the WBA is finally going to rule has left Shumenov unable to book any fights. The WBA’s failure to enforce its own purse bid rule, or strip Lebedev, has unfairly prevented Shumenov from earning a living while at the peak of his pro boxing career.
Shumenov is the only native Kazakh to be a two-division world champion. Now a resident of Las Vegas, he also represented his native Kazakhstan at the 2004 Olympics in Greece.

Evaluate your performance against Junior Wright in your last fight?
BS: “I am 100-percent a completely different fighter than in my previous fight against B.J. Flores. Pero, at the beginning of this fight, I had a little bit of ring rust. The inactivity is really hard for me. I would like to be busier and fight more often. I already started training and doing light exercises, right after my fight on May 21st. In my next fight, I will be even more different fighter against Lebedev.
How does it feel to be the only fighter from your country to be 2-division world champion?
BS: “I don’t really think about those things. My main goal is to unify all of the titles and fight all the best fighters.
You’ve always wanted to unify as a way of determining who the best or real champ is. En 20-11, you almost fought a unification as WBA light heavyweight but then-WBO champion Juergen Braehmer who suddenly went home a few days before the scheduled unification fight. How does it feel to know that you will be fighting Lebedev for WBA super and IBF cruiserweight titles dentro 120 día a partir de mayo 21?
BS: “This has always been my goalto unifyand I’m motivated even more knowing that I am going to fight for those two titles very soon.
Do you think a deal will be made between your manager, Al Haymon and Lebedev’s promoter, Andrei Ryabinsky, or will it go to purse bid?
BS: “It doesn’t concern me, whether it goes to a purse bid, or where the location is. Sin embargo, I hope the parties can get the best deal worked out for everyone involved.
If Lebedev doesn’t want to fight you and he relinquishes his WBA super title belt, where do you go from there, fight second-mandatory challenger Yunier Dorticos?
BS: “I have heard rumors that Lebedev doesn’t want to fight me and, if this is true and he relinquishes his WBA Super belt, then I want to fight Dorticos because every organization should only have one champion in each division. I hope this isn’t the case, as I have been waiting to fight Lebedev since I won the WBA interim title (mandatory) back in July of 2015. The WBA has ordered us to fight dentro 120 día of May 21st. Estoy listo, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, también.”

Beibut Shumenov hace historia una vez más en el anillo

EQUIPO Shumenov: (L-R) Entrenador asistente Rodney Crisler, campeón crucero mundo Beibut Shumenov, Gengis Shumenov, cabeza entrenador Ismael Salas, corte hombre Jacob “Puntada” Duran y entrenador asistente Jeff Grmoja.

 

LAS VEGAS (Agosto. 3, 2015) – El recién coronado Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB) Campeón crucero interino Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) recientemente hizo historia una vez más, derrotando B.J. Flores (31-2-1, 20 KOs) por medio de una decisión unánime en 12 asaltos como Liga de Campeones de Boxeo cabeza de cartel series, que se emitió julio 25º en NBCSN en vivo desde el Palms en Las Vegas.

Shumenov, 31, se convirtió en el retador obligatorio de la AMB “regular” campeón crucero Denis Lebedev (27-1, 20 KOs, 1 NC), de Rusia, así como la primera Kazajstán nativa para capturar un título mundial en dos categorías de peso después de haber sido el campeón de la AMB de peso semipesado de 2010-2014.

Boxeo semillero Kazajstán ha producido otros cinco campeones del mundo durante el último cuarto de siglo: 1990 CMB peso súper pluma Aratoly Alexandrov, 2000 CMB peso pesado Oleg “Big O” Maskaev, 2001-2003 – FIB peso crucero Vassily “El Tigre” Jirov, 2010-2012 AMB peso súper mediano Dimitri Sartison y reinar AMB super / mediano interino del CMB Gennady Golovkin.

En su lucha histórica puño hacia atrás en 2010, Shumenov derrotó a la defensa de la AMB campeón de peso semipesado Gabriel Campillo VIAA decisión en 12 asaltos para establecer el récord de menor cantidad de toros, 10, para convertirse en campeón del mundo de una organización importante en la división de las 175 libras.

“Estoy muy orgulloso de establecer un nuevo récord en el boxeo,” 2004 Olympian Shumenov dijo. “Me siento honrado de ser el primer boxeador de mi país para convertirse en campeón mundial en dos divisiones. Me gustaría dar las gracias a mi manager, Al Haymon, por darme esta oportunidad. Lebedev es el objetivo principal y, si paso la prueba, Quiero pelear con los mejores peleadores en la división de peso crucero.”

Shumenov pasó por una transformación de estilo, bajo la dirección del afamado entrenador cubano Ismael Salas, que trabajó con el Atlético de Kazajstán de cambiarlo de un agresivo, molienda de combate en una más completa, All-Around boxeador. Shumenov desconcertado Flores, quien espera Shumenov venir a él y golpes de cambio, lo que habría dado el naturalmente más grande, Flores fuerte una ventaja. En lugar, Shumenov magistralmente caja su camino a la victoria, utilizando el movimiento lateral, ángulos y posicionamiento para frustrar Flores en agresión ineficaces, lo que resulta en una gran variedad de golpes fuera de balance y errores.

Después de la pelea, Shumenov explica la sorprendente cambio que atravesó después de entrenar con Salas desde enero. “Todavía estoy en el proceso de aprendizaje. Como dice mi entrenador, no hay limites, y yo todavía no he perfeccionado lo que me está enseñando. Todo se reduce a un montón de trabajo duro, repeticiones de memoria muscular. Mi trabajo de pies para esta pelea vino de mi entrenador. Yo estaba feliz de ser victoriosos pero todavía veo mejorando mucho, total, como un boxeador completo.”

(L-R) Shumenov & Salas

Salas también entrena Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CMB) Campeón mundial ligero Jorge Linares (39-3, 26 KOs), además de manejar los campeones del mundo del pasado y presente como Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriokis Gamboa, Danny Green, y Jesse Vargas.

“Hay un proceso para todo el mundo en términos de bio-mecánica,” Salas comentó. “Hay especialidades de formación que enseñan que no se utilizan a menudo en el boxeo, ejercicios específicos para la dinámica del movimiento. Originalmente aprendí a entrenador en el sistema cubano, que es similar al sistema soviético en el que Beibut primero aprendió, pero también he estado en todo el mundo el aprendizaje de diferentes métodos de entrenamiento. Todavía tiene tiempo para un peleador de clase mundial como Beibut, que ha sido campeón del mundo como profesional, y tenía muchos partidos de aficionados. Jorge Linares era un campeón del mundo dos veces antes de empezar a trabajar juntos. Beibut es llegar allí. Él todavía no está en su pleno potencial, ahora mismo, usando sólo 40-50 por ciento de sus herramientas.”

Shumenov es abogado y exitoso hombre de negocios que habla cinco idiomas. Aunque él es un campeón del mundo dos veces, él es todavía un estudiante del boxeo, y Salas es su profesor muy respetado.

“Él es (Salas) humilde pero un genio,” Shumenov insiste. “Él pregunta y escucha mis opiniones. Nos concentramos en los fundamentos y explica todo para mí. Nuestro equipo tuvo una rutina diaria en el campamento en el que compartimos nuestro conocimiento después de cada sesión de entrenamiento. Los cuatro de nosotros (Shumenov, Salas, Grmjoja y Crisler) se convirtió en uno.”

 

Y el resultado fue un segundo título mundial.
