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 “Ferro” 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 e 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,” dixo Leon Margules, Presidente do 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, gañar ou perder, above WBARegularWorld Champion Beibut Shumenov and WBAInterimWorld 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 maio 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu within 120 días. (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 within 48 horas. WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion yunier Dorticós has also objected. At this present time, aínda, 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 (Xullo 22, 2016) – It has been more than a month since World Boxing Association (WBA) 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 xullo pasado, Shumenov defeated 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, who defeated Victor Emelio Ramirez in May to also become International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion, must fight Shumenov within 120 días 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 different weight classes. Only three WBA divisions have one world champion – super lixeiro, 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 Dorticós, 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, con todo, 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 dixo.
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.

El é 8-2 (4 Kos) en loitas polo título mundial
Below find a one-on-one interview with Shumenov:
(Photo by Yumio Yamada)
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 within 120 días a partir de maio 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. Con todo, 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 within 120 días of May 21st. Estou preparado, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, tamén.”

EQUIPO Shumenov: (L-R) Asistente de adestrador Rodney Crisler, campión mundial cruiserweight Beibut Shumenov, Chingis Shumenov, cabeza adestrador Ismael Salas, cut-home Jacob “Punto” Duran e asistente de adestrador Jeff Grmoja.

 

LAS VEGAS (Agosto. 3, 2015) – O recentemente coroado Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (WBA) Campión interino cruiserweight Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 Kos) recentemente fixo historia unha vez máis, derrotando B.J. Flores (31-2-1, 20 Kos) por medio dunha decisión unánime 12 redonda como Premier Boxeo League serie cabeza de cartel, que foi ao ar xullo 25th en NBCSN en directo de The Palms en Las Vegas.

Shumenov, 31, tornouse o desafiante obrigatorio para WBA “regular” campión cruiserweight Denis Lebedev (27-1, 20 Kos, 1 NC), de Rusia, así como o primeiro Casaquistán nativa para capturar un título mundial en dúas categorías de peso diferentes sendo o WBA campión medio-pesado 2010-2014.

Boxeo hotbed Kazajistán produciu outros cinco campións do mundo, durante o último cuarto de século: 1990 WBC super pluma Aratoly Alexandrov, 2000 WBC de pesos pesados Oleg “Big O” Maskaev, 2001-2003 – IBF cruiserweight Vassily “O Tigre” Jirov, 2010-2012 WBA dos super-medios Dimitri Sartison e reinando WBA Super / medios WBC Provisional Gennady Golovkin.

Na súa loita histórica puño cara atrás en 2010, Shumenov derrotado defender WBA campión medio-pesado Gabriel Campillo VIAA decisión 12 redonda para establecer o récord de menor número de lutas-, 10, para facer campión do mundo de unha gran organización na división de 175 libras.

“Teño moito orgullo de establecer outra marca no boxeo,” 2004 Olympian Shumenov dixo. “Estou honrado de ser o primeiro loitador do meu país para facer campión do mundo en dúas divisións. Gustaríame agradecer ao meu director, Al Haymon, por me dar esta oportunidade. Lebedev é o obxectivo principal e, se eu pasar a proba, Quero loitar cos mellores loitadores na división cruiserweight.”

Shumenov pasou por unha transformación estilo, baixo a dirección do famoso adestrador cubano Ismael Salas, que traballou co kazakh atlética para mudalo desde un agresivo, loitador de moenda para unha forma máis completa, todo-en torno boxer. Shumenov perplexo Flores, que esperaban Shumenov para chegar a el e socos cambio, que daría o suposto maior, máis forte Flores unha vantaxe. Pola, Shumenov maxistralmente casetonado a camiño da vitoria, mediante o movemento lateral, ángulos e posicionamento para frustrar Flores en agresión ineficaz, obtendo unha serie de golpes fóra do balance e erros.

Tras a loita, Shumenov explicou o cambio sorprendente que pasou despois do adestramento con Salas desde xaneiro. “Eu aínda estou no proceso de aprendizaxe. Como o meu adestrador di, non hai límites, e eu aínda non aperfeiçoaram o que está me ensinando. Realmente se reduce a unha chea de traballo duro, repeticións de memoria muscular. Meu xogo de pernas para esa loita veu do meu adestrador. Quedei contento con ser vitorioso, pero eu me vexo quedando moito mellor, En xeral, como un boxeador completa.”

(L-R) Shumenov & Salas

Salas tamén adestra Consello Mundial de Boxeo (WBC) Mundo campión de pouco peso Jorge Linares (39-3, 26 Kos), Ademais de xestionar os campións mundiais pasados ​​e presentes, como Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriokis Gamboa, Danny Green, e Jesse Vargas.

“Hai un proceso para toda a xente en termos de bio-mecánica,” Salas comentou. “Hai especialidades de formación que eu ensine que non son usados ​​frecuentemente no boxeo, exercicios específicos para a dinámica de movemento. Orixinalmente, eu aprendín a adestrador no sistema cubano, que é semellante ao sistema soviético en que Beibut primeiro aprendeu, pero eu tamén estiven en todo o mundo aprender diferentes métodos de adestramento. El aínda leva tempo para un loitador de clase mundial como Beibut, que foi campión mundial como un profesional, e tiña moitos xogos afeccionados. Jorge Linares era un campión do mundo dúas veces antes de comezar a traballar xuntos. Beibut é chegar alí. El aínda non está no seu pleno potencial, agora mesmo, utilizando só 40-50 por cento das súas ferramentas.”

Shumenov é avogado e empresario de éxito que fala cinco idiomas. Aínda que el é un campión do mundo dúas veces, aínda é un estudante de boxeo, Salas e é o seu profesor altamente respectado.

“El é (Salas) humilde, pero un xenio,” Shumenov insiste. “El pide e escoita as miñas opinións. Nós nos concentrados en fundamentos e explica todo para min. O noso equipo tivo unha rutina diaria no campamento no que compartimos o noso coñecemento despois de cada sesión de adestramento. Os catro de nós (Shumenov, Salas, Grmjoja e Crisler) tornouse un.”

 

E o resultado foi un segundo título mundial.
