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, Rússia.
In an entertaining fight, Gassiev (24-0, 17 KOs) de Vladikavkaz, Rússia, 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,” disse 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, ganhar 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 em Maio 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu dentro de 120 dias. (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 de 48 horas. WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion yunier Dorticós has also objected. At this present time, embora, 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 (Julho 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.
Em julho passado, 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 dentro de 120 dias 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 classes de peso. Only three WBA divisions have one world champion – super leve, 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, contudo, 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 disse.
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.

WBA cruiserweight world champion wants
Denis Lebedev fight to happen this summer

LAS VEGAS (Junho 5, 2016) – Associação Mundial de Boxe (WBA) campeão mundial cruiserweight Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 KOs) stopped No. 11-Classificado Junior “Furacão” Wright (15-2-1, 12 KOs) no 10th rodada de seu maio 21sttitle fight to remain mandatory challenger for unified WBA Super/International Boxing Federation (IBF) campeão mundial cruiserweight Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 KOs). The WBA mandated a Lebedev-Shumenov fight dentro de 120 dias of May 21.

Shumenov, 32, é um 2004 Kazakhstan Olympian who lives and trains in Las Vegas. During his 9-year professional boxing career, Shumenov has defeated four world championsGabriel Campillo, Byron Mitchell, William Joppy e Montell Griffin – bem como sete challengers título mundial. Ele é 8-2 (4 KOs) em lutas pelo 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. Mas, 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. Em 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 de 120 dias 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. Contudo, 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 de 120 dias of May 21st. Estou pronto, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, muito.”

Ramirez is the other fighter I’ve really wanted to fight and my manager tried to make a fight between us, muito.
“Eu estive no ginásio desde a minha última luta, treinamento duro para aperfeiçoar minhas habilidades. Agora, I am a completely different fighter since I fought last July. My team is extremely happy and confident that I can beat all of the other world cruiserweight champions.
Em dezembro passado, Shumenov foi programado para defender seu Interim coroa WBA contra o duas vezes campeão mundial cruiserweight Krzyesztof “Diablo” Wlodarczyk (50-3-1, 36 KOs), mas um problema médico sério relativo a um membro da família forçado Shumenov retirar-se da luta acima mencionada.
“A oportunidade de lutar com o vencedor de Lebedev / Ramirez em uma grande luta de unificação só veio sobre este ano e eu não tenho essa opção de volta quando eu concordaram em lutar inicialmente Wlodarczyk em dezembro e eu era incapaz de prever o que aconteceria com a minha família pessoalmente,” 32-year-old Shumenov said. “Não tenho nenhum problema lutando Wlodarczyk no futuro, but only after I fight the Lebedev-Ramirez unification winner.

The fight was over so fast I couldn’t really tell you much about it,” said Wright, rindo. “But I threw a really good body shot to put him down and then afterwards I just threw a lot of combinations when he got up and they stopped it. I feel great about my win. While training for my world title fight with Rakhim Chakhiev in 2015, I had an injury but still went ahead with the fight. After the match I had surgery and now I am 100 hundred percent. I feel ready for all the top cruiserweights in the world, from what I see there is not much out there to worry about in the division. I would love the opportunity to fight Beibut Shumenov for a world title.

Beibut Shumenov faz história mais uma vez no anel

EQUIPE Shumenov: (L-R) Assistente de treinador Rodney Crisler, campeão mundial cruiserweight Beibut Shumenov, Chingis Shumenov, cabeça treinador Ismael Salas, cut-homem Jacob “Ponto” Duran e assistente de treinador Jeff Grmoja.

 

LAS VEGAS (Agosto. 3, 2015) – O recém coroado Associação Mundial de Boxe (WBA) Campeão interino cruiserweight Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) recentemente fez história mais uma vez, derrotando B.J. Flores (31-2-1, 20 KOs) por meio de uma decisão unânime 12-redonda como Premier Boxe dos Campeões série headliner, que foi ao ar julho 25th em NBCSN ao vivo do The Palms em Las Vegas.

Shumenov, 31, tornou-se o desafiante obrigatório para WBA “regular” campeão cruiserweight Denis Lebedev (27-1, 20 KOs, 1 NC), da Rússia, bem como o primeiro Cazaquistão nativa para capturar um título mundial em duas categorias de peso diferentes tendo sido o WBA campeão meio-pesado do 2010-2014.

Boxe hotbed o Cazaquistão produziu outros cinco campeões do mundo, durante o último quarto 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-médios Dimitri Sartison e reinando WBA Super / médios WBC Provisório Gennady Golovkin.

Em sua luta histórica punho para trás em 2010, Shumenov derrotado defender WBA campeão meio-pesado Gabriel Campillo VIAA decisão 12-redonda para estabelecer o recorde de menor número de lutas-, 10, para se tornar campeão do mundo de uma grande organização na divisão de 175 libras.

“Eu tenho muito orgulho de estabelecer outro recorde no boxe,” 2004 Olympian Shumenov disse. “Estou honrado de ser o primeiro lutador do meu país para se tornar campeão do mundo em duas divisões. Eu gostaria de agradecer ao meu gerente, Al Haymon, por me dar esta oportunidade. Lebedev é o alvo principal e, se eu passar no teste, Eu quero lutar com os melhores lutadores na divisão cruiserweight.”

Shumenov passou por uma transformação estilo, sob a direção do famoso treinador cubano Ismael Salas, que trabalhou com o cazaque atlética para mudá-lo a partir de um agressivo, lutador de moagem para uma forma mais completa, tudo-em torno boxer. Shumenov perplexo Flores, que esperavam Shumenov para chegar a ele e socos câmbio, que teria dado o naturalmente maior, mais forte Flores uma vantagem. Em vez, Shumenov magistralmente encaixotado a caminho da vitória, utilizando o movimento lateral, ângulos e posicionamento para frustrar Flores em agressão ineficaz, resultando em uma série de socos fora do balanço e erros.

Após a luta, Shumenov explicou a mudança surpreendente que ele passou após o treinamento com Salas desde janeiro. “Eu ainda estou no processo de aprendizagem. Como o meu treinador diz, não há limites, e eu ainda não aperfeiçoaram o que ele está me ensinando. Ele realmente se resume a um monte de trabalho duro, repetições de memória muscular. Meu jogo de pernas para essa luta veio do meu treinador. Fiquei feliz em ser vitorioso, mas eu ainda me vejo ficando muito melhor, No geral, como um boxeador completa.”

(L-R) Shumenov & Salas

Salas também treina Conselho Mundial de Boxe (WBC) Mundo campeão de pouco peso Jorge Linares (39-3, 26 KOs), Além de lidar com os campeões mundiais passados ​​e presentes, tais como Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriokis Gamboa, Danny Green, e Jesse Vargas.

“Há um processo para toda a gente em termos de bio-mecânica,” Salas comentou. “Há especialidades de treinamento que eu ensine que não são usados ​​frequentemente no boxe, exercícios específicos para a dinâmica de movimento. Originalmente, eu aprendi a treinador no sistema cubano, que é semelhante ao sistema soviético em que Beibut primeiro aprendeu, mas eu também estive em todo o mundo aprender diferentes métodos de treinamento. Ele ainda leva tempo para um lutador de classe mundial como Beibut, que foi campeão mundial como um profissional, e tinha muitos jogos amadores. Jorge Linares era um campeão do mundo duas vezes antes de começarmos a trabalhar juntos. Beibut é chegar lá. Ele ainda não está no seu pleno potencial, agora mesmo, utilizando apenas 40-50 por cento de suas ferramentas.”

Shumenov é advogado e empresário de sucesso que fala cinco línguas. Embora ele é um campeão do mundo duas vezes, ele ainda é um estudante de boxe, Salas e é seu professor altamente respeitado.

“Ele é (Salas) humilde, mas um gênio,” Shumenov insiste. “Ele pede e ouve as minhas opiniões. Nós nos concentramos em fundamentos e ele explica tudo para mim. Nossa equipe teve uma rotina diária no acampamento em que nós compartilhamos nosso conhecimento depois de cada sessão de treinamento. Os quatro de nós (Shumenov, Salas, Grmjoja e Crisler) tornou-se um.”

 

E o resultado foi um segundo título mundial.
