The 23-year-old Rabii defeated 2016 OS-guldmedaljören Daniyar Yeleussinov in the welterweight division championship finale of the 2015 AIBA World Amateur Championships to capture a gold for his native Morocco. Rabii won a bronze medal at the 2016 OS i Brasilien, dropping a highly-disputed decision (0-3) in the semifinals to Uzebek boxer Shakhram Giyasov, the eventual silver medalist.

The gifted South African faces undefeated Hungarian prospect David Nerna (8-0, 8 Kos) i en 10-runda bout.
Netherlands light middleweight Gevorg Khatchikian (24-2, 12 Kos) will also be in action against Ugandan Med “Kabona” Sebyala (16-8-1. 13 Kos) in another 10-rounder. Khatchikian, who will be fighting as a 154-pounder for the first time as a professional, has only lost twice as a pro, both to present super middleweight world champions, James Degale (IBF) och Gilberto Ramirez (WBO).
Hyde manages Rabii, Kalanga and Vetyeka.

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

Lämna en kommentar
‘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 “Järn” Gassiev, for his title-winning victory on December 3 against Denis Lebedev at the Khodynka Ice Palace in Moscow, Ryssland.
In an entertaining fight, Gassiev (24-0, 17 Kos) av Vladikavkaz, Ryssland, dropped his countryman Lebedev in the fifth round and won a split decision by scores of 116-112 och 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 fight… which is where Warriors’ challenge 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,” sade Leon Margules, VD för Warriors Boxning. “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, vinner eller förlorar, above WBA “Regular” World Champion Beibut Shumenov and WBA “Interim” 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

Lämna en kommentar
LAS VEGAS (Augusti 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 maj 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu within 120 dagar. (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 timmar. WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion yunier Dorticos has also objected. At this present time, fast, 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

Lämna en kommentar
LAS VEGAS (Juli 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.
I juli förra året, Shumenov defeated B.J. Blommor 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, som besegrade Victor Emelio Ramirez in May to also become International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion, must fight Shumenov within 120 dagar of the latter’s May 21, 2016 knockout victory over Junior 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 – superlätta, lightweight and light flyweight – and 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, emellertid, 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 sa.
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 (Juni 5, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) mästare cruiser världen Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 Kos) stopped No. 11-Topplista Junior “Orkan” Wright (15-2-1, 12 Kos) i 10th omgången av deras maj 21sttitle fight to remain mandatory challenger for unified WBA Super/International Boxing Federation (IBF) mästare cruiser världen Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 Kos). The WBA mandated a Lebedev-Shumenov fight within 120 dagar of May 21.

Shumenov, 32, är en 2004 Kazakhstan Olympian who lives and trains in Las Vegas. During his 9-year professional boxing career, Shumenov has defeated four world champions – Gabriel Campillo, Byron Mitchell, William Joppy och Montell Griffin – såväl som sju VM-titel utmanare. Han är 8-2 (4 Kos) i världs titel slagsmål
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. Blommor. Men, 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. I 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 dagar från maj 21?
BS: “This has always been my goal – to unify – and 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. Emellertid, 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 dagar of May 21st. Jag är redo, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, för.”

World champion Beibut Shumenov to defend title vs. Junior Wright this Saturday night in Las Vegas

Lämna en kommentar
LAS VEGAS (Maj 18, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Interimscruiser Världsmästaren Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 Kos) makes his first title defense denna lördag natt (Maj 21) against WBA No. 11-Topplista Junior “Orkan” Wright (15-1-1, 12 Kos) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight denna lördag natt,” Shumenov sa, “but I wish that I could fight more often. I’ve been ready since January. Every training session I gain new knowledge. I am a completely different fighter than in my last fight.”
Shumenov’s last fight was back in July, in which he defeated B.J. Blommor (31-1-1, 20 Kos) by 12-round unanimous decision in Las Vegas to capture the vacant WBA Interim title, making the former WBA light heavyweight champion Shumenov the first professional boxer from Kazakhstan to be a two-division world champion.
By becoming the WBA Interim cruiserweight champion, Shumenov also became the No. 1 ranked mandatory challenger for WBA Super cruiserweight titlist Denis Lebedev (28-2, 21 Kos), who also fights denna lördag in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) mästare Victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ramirez (22-2-1, 17 Kos) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 dagar. The WBA, emellertid, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “vanlig” cruiserweight world title fight denna fredag night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos och nr. 5 Youri Kalenga (since upgraded to No. 3), especially after announcing that it would work this year to have only one world champion in each weight class.
Shumenov, Naturligtvis, is risking his mandatory position by fighting Wright, the former 5-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion. “I need to stay active,” Shumenov explained why he’s taking such a risk. “Varje kamp, I gain experience and it also helps me develop my fighting skills.”
The 12-round Shumenov vs. Wright title fight is on the non-televised portion of The Cosmopolitan show.

Beibut Shumenov gör historien ännu en gång i ringen

TEAM SHUMENOV: (L-R) Assistent tränare Rodney Crisler, världsCruiser mästare Beibut Shumenov, Chingis Shumenov, huvud tränare Ismael Salas, cut-man Jacob “Stitch” Duran och assisterande tränare Jeff Grmoja.

 

LAS VEGAS (Augusti. 3, 2015) – Nyligen krönt World Boxing Association (WBA) Interimscruiser mästare Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 Kos) nyligen gjort historia en gång, besegra B.J. Blommor (31-2-1, 20 Kos) med hjälp av en 12-runda enhälligt beslut som Premier Boxning Champions serie takklädsel, som sändes juli 25th på NBCSN live från The Palms i Las Vegas.

Shumenov, 31, blev den obligatoriska utmanare för WBA “vanlig” Cruiser mästare Denis Lebedev (27-1, 20 Kos, 1 NC), Rysslands, liksom den första Kazakstan infödda att fånga en VM-titel i två olika viktklasser har varit lätt tungvikt mästare WBA från 2010-2014.

Boxning Grogrund Kazakstan har producerat fem andra världsmästare under det senaste kvartsseklet: 1990 WBC super fjäder Aratoly Alexandrov, 2000 WBC heavyweight Oleg “Big O” Maskaev, 2001-2003 – IBF Cruiser Vassily “The Tiger” Jirov, 2010-2012 WBA super mellanvikt Dimitri Sartison och regerande WBA Super / VBK interims mellanvikt Gennadij Golovkin.

I näven historiska kamp tillbaka i 2010, Shumenov besegrade försvara WBA lätt tungvikt Gabriel Campillo viaa 12-runda beslut att inrätta rekordet för mest få-slagsmål, 10, att bli mästare i en stor organisation världen i 175-pound division.

“Jag är mycket stolt över att ställa in en annan post i boxning,” 2004 Olympian Shumenov sa. “Jag är hedrad över att vara den första fighter från mitt land att bli världsmästare i två divisioner. Jag skulle vilja tacka min chef, Al Haymon, för att ge mig denna möjlighet. Lebedev är huvudmålet och, om jag klarar det testet, Jag vill slåss de bästa fighters i Cruiser divisionen.”

Shumenov gick igenom en stil omvandling, under ledning av den berömda kubanska huvudtränare Ismael Salas, som arbetade med den atletiska kazakiska att förändra honom från en aggressiv, slipning jaktplan till en mer komplett, all-around boxare. Shumenov bafflad Flores, som förväntas Shumenov att komma till honom och utbyta slag, vilket skulle ha gett det naturligt större, starkare Flores en fördel. Istället, Shumenov boxed mäster sig till seger, användning av sidorörelse, vinklar och positionering för att omintetgöra Flores till ineffektiv aggression, vilket resulterar i en array av utanför balansräkningen stansar och missar.

Efter kampen, Shumenov förklarade överraskande förändring han gick igenom efter träningen med Salas sedan januari. “Jag är fortfarande i inlärningsprocessen. Liksom min tränare säger, Det finns inga gränser, och jag har fortfarande inte fulländat vad han lär mig. Det kommer verkligen ner till en hel del hårt arbete, upprepningar av muskelminne. Min fotarbete för denna kamp kom från min tränare. Jag var glad över att vara segerrik men jag ser fortfarande mig själv att få en mycket bättre, total, som en komplett boxare.”
(L-R) Shumenov & Salas

Salas utbildar även World Boxing Council (WBC) World Lätt Champion Jorge Linares (39-3, 26 Kos), förutom att hantera tidigare och nuvarande världsmästare såsom Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriokis Gamboa, Danny Grön, och Jesse Vargas.

“Det är en process för alla när det gäller bio-mekanik,” Salas kommenterade. “Det finns specialiteter utbildning jag undervisar som inte används ofta i boxning, specifika övningar för dynamiken i rörelse. Jag ursprungligen lärde att coacha i den kubanska systemet, som liknar det sovjetiska systemet där Beibut först lärt, men jag har också varit över hela världen lära sig olika metoder för utbildning. Det tar fortfarande tid för en världsklass fighter som Beibut, som har varit världsmästare som en professionell, och hade många amatörmatcher. Jorge Linares var en mästare två-tiden världen innan vi började jobba tillsammans. Beibut Tvillingarna. Han är fortfarande inte på sin fulla potential, just nu, med användning av endast 40-50 procent av sina verktyg.”

Shumenov är jurist och framgångsrik affärsman som talar fem språk. Trots att han är en mästare två-tiden världsmästare, han är fortfarande en student av boxning, och Salas är hans högt respekterad professor.

“Han är (Salas) ödmjuk men ett geni,” Shumenov insisterar. “Han ber och lyssnar till mina åsikter. Vi koncentrerar oss på fundamenta och han förklarar allt för mig. Vårt team hade en daglig rutin i lägret där vi delade vår kunskap efter varje träningspass. Fyra av oss (Shumenov, Salas, Grmjoja och Crisler) blev en.”

 

Och resultatet blev ett andra VM-titel.
