Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev – WBO, WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion
“It’s a big moment in my career. I want to thank all of the people who are involved with this fight, my promoter Kathy Duva, Roc Nation and HBO Pay-Per-View. Thank you to all of my fans. It will be a fight to remember; one for the history books. I just want to give the fans a really great fight in Vegas and on HBO Pay-Per-View.”
Andre “S.O.G.” Ward – Two-Time World Champion
“I’m grateful to be here today. I want to thank everyone who is associated with this event—the good, loše, the press, sve to. Obviously HBO, Peter Nelson , Roc Nation, Main Events, everyone who’s associated with it. It’s hard to thank everybody. It’s a lot of people that you guys know of that worked on this fight to get it done. There’s a lot of different nuances that go into getting a fight like this done, but it’s done. That’s what we should all focus on.
“I thank God for this opportunity. I thank God for my career and being able to compete at a high level through the peaks and valleys. Sometimes that gets overlooked, a veteran in the game. I’ve paid my dues and I continue to pay my dues. This is just another opportunity. I’ve been in this position before and so has my opponent. It doesn’t matter what the other side says, how they feel, what they say. He’s got to get it done and I’ve got to get it done. When those bright lights come on who it’s all about who executes and who gets it done. I don’t have to throw chairs. I don’t have to cuss. I don’t have to act crazy. I said let’s fight, lets fight. You’re selling yourself. I know that what I possess and what I have is in me, and not on me.”
Kathy Duva – CEO, Main Events
"Konačno. There was a time when fighters didn’t consider preserving their undefeated records to be paramount to engaging in actual competition. There was a time when undefeated fighters who were heading to the Hall of Fame actually sought out greater and greater challenges as their careers progressed. There was a time when fighters were courageous athletes and not simply cynical businessmen.
“The two men who are here with us today—both in their athletic primes, both unbeaten, i, po mom mišljenju, both heading to the Hall of Fame someday—chose to put their 0’s on the line and face each other to find out just which one of them is the very best. That is why they deserve to earn your pay-per-view dollars, this is what pay per view is supposed to be. That is why we should move heaven and earth in order to come to the beautiful T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas where this fight will take place. That is why the winner will earn the title of best pound-for-pound fighter in the ring.
“Since Ring Magazine began to keep records of the pound-for-pound fighters there have only been two occasions when two unbeaten top five fighters have competed in the ring for pound-for-pound supremacy. The first was Meldrick Taylor vs. Julio Caesar Chavez Sr. u 1994, the second time was Oscar De La Hoya vs Felix Trinidad in 1999. That means that on November 19th, this will be the very first time in the 21st century that such an event will occur in our sport. Let’s hope this is the start of something new, a throwback to the way boxing used to be when it was at its best. Let’s hope it doesn’t take another 17 years before this happens again. Let’s hope all the up and coming young sweet scientists learn and follow the example of these young great athletes who sit here today.
“So as I said, finally, I’m quite pleased to officially announce “Pound for Pound” and that on Subota, November 19th, two of the five best fighters in the whole world will fight each other. WBO, WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight Champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev, koji je 30-0, will risk all three of his world titles against two-time world middleweight champion Andre “SOG” Ward, who is also 30-0. The fight will take place in Las Vegas, sponsored by our friends at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, at the beautiful new T-Mobile Arena. Tickets are available now, they’re starting at $155 right now because the box office has already sold out all of the $55 tickets we put on sale. You can only get these tickets at the T-Mobile box office and online through AXS.com. I’m happy to report that tickets at other prices are moving much faster than expected and currently there are very few left at the $755 price point and the $155 price point.
This will be live on HBO Pay-Per-View. The suggested retail price is going to be $54.95. It will be presented by Main Events, Roc Nation Sports, Krusher Promotions and Andre Ward Promotions. In addition to the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, the fight sponsors will be Rosneft and Corona.”

Tim Šumenov odgovara na Lebedev vs.. Gassiev najava borbe za svjetski naslov
|
LAS VEGAS (Avgust 17,, 2016) – Tim Šumenov smatra da je vrijedno pregledati nedavnu istoriju nedavne najave da je WBA Super / IBF svjetski prvak u najtežoj kategoriji Denis Lebedev će se braniti od Murat Gassiev krajem novembra ili početkom decembra u Rusiji: Uvjet za omogućavanje Lebedevu da se bori protiv IBF prvaka u najtežoj kategoriji Victor Emilio Ramirez maja 21, 2016 je bilo da se Lebedev morao boriti sa WBA svjetskim prvakom u najtežoj kategoriji Shumenov Beibu unutar 120 dani. (Lebedev nije izvršio obaveznu odbranu od aprila 10, 2015.) Šumenov je učinio sve da napravi tu borbu, dok Lebedev nije napravio ništa osim što je bježao od svoje obavezne borbe za naslov. Kada je u junu prvi put postalo očigledno da Lebedev pokušava izbjeći svoju obaveznu borbu za naslov WBA, Šumenov je više puta tražio da WBA naredi ponudu za novčanik.
Lebedev je ignorirao WBA, a zatim je nedavno tražio, nakon što je prošao rok za WBA, posebna dozvola koja mu omogućava da se bori protiv Gassieva, na šta se Šumenov zvanično protivio unutar 48 sati. WBA Privremeni svjetski prvak u kruzeru Yunier Dorticos se takođe usprotivio. U ovom trenutku, iako, Tim Šumenov još uvijek čeka da čuje presudu WBA u smislu oduzimanja Lebedeva ako se odluči boriti protiv Gassieva umjesto protiv Šumenova.
Zaista je vrlo jednostavno. Šumenov se želi boriti protiv Lebedeva, koji čini sve da to izbjegne. Ako Lebedev ne brine da ispuni svoje obaveze i uvjete iz svoje prethodne posebne dozvole, trebao bi se odreći svoje titule. Lebedev i njegovi ljudi trebaju se pridružiti nama ostalima u stvarnom svijetu i prestati tvrditi da Šumenov nije forsirao ovu borbu.
Prema nedavnom izvještaju, Članovi kampa Lebedev pogrešno su to prijavili, “Šumenov baš i ne postavlja pitanje” (da se sljedeća bori protiv Lebedeva).

Lee Baxter Promotions Inks Logan McGuinness
Toronto, Ontario, Kanada (Avgust 3, 2016) – Toronto-based Lee Baxter Promotions is proud to announce the signing of undefeated super featherweight contender Logan “Cotton” McGuinness to an exclusive promotional agreement.
Living and fighting out of Orangeville, Ontario, McGuinness has an outstanding 23-0-1 profesionalni Ledger s 10 victories coming by knockout. The 29-year-old McGuinness is a former WBA-NABA champion at 126, 130 i 135 funti, earning NABA Fighter of the Year in 2011.
Formerly ranked number 4 in the world by the WBA, McGuinness has been inactive since May 2015 due to out of the ring issues and is excited to get back in the squared circle.
McGuinness said of his new promotional agreement and return to fighting in Canada “it feels great to have signed with Lee Baxter and this is something I feel has been a long time coming. I think the two of us will make some noise and do big things together. I have had an unfortunate couple of years as anyone who has followed my career understands but I’m a true believer in things happening for a reason and everything seems to be falling into place. I’m motivated and rejuvenated. I can’t wait to fight in Toronto!"
Baxter, a longtime fixture in the Canadian boxing scene who recently created the “Next Generation” fight series, is thrilled to be working with a longtime friend who he believes has a bright future ahead of him.
“I’m thrilled to be working with Logan and the timing is great for both of us. He had some unexpected layoffs but is still unbeaten and a very talented fighter. There’s been a public demand for him to fight in Canada again since 18 of his professional matches have been here and we’re proud to be making this happen. I’m looking at having him potentially fight twice in 2016 and the people in Ontario are as excited to see him fight as he is to fight in front of them. The sky is definitely the limit with Logan!"
Details on Logan’s return to the ring will be announced shortly.
Tim Šumenov podnosi molbu WBA-u da objavi ponudu za obaveznu borbu za naslov protiv. Lebedev ili oduzeti Lebedevu njegov svjetski pojas u kruzer kategoriji
 LAS VEGAS (Juli 22, 2016) – Prošlo je više od mjesec dana od Svjetske boksačke asocijacije (WBA) svjetski prvak u kruzeru Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs), zasnovan na mnogo publiciranim pravilima i propisima WBA turnira u najtežoj kategoriji, podnio molbu WBA-u da objavi ponudu za novčanik za borbu za naslov između WBA prvaka u super kruseru Denis Lebedev, ili oduzeti Lebedevu naslovni pojas zbog nepridržavanja propisa.U julu prošle godine, Šumenov poražen B.J. Cvijeće putem jednoglasne odluke od 12 rundi da postane obavezni izazivač WBA za Lebedeva, koji se nije borio protiv obavezne odbrane od aprila 10, 2015.
WBA je prošlog aprila izdao rezoluciju da je Lebedev, koji je poražen Victor Emelio Ramirez u maju takođe postati prvak Međunarodne boksačke federacije u kruzer kategoriji, mora se boriti protiv Šumenova unutar 120 dani potonjeg maja 21, 2016 nokaut pobjeda nad Junior Wright.
Evidentirano zbog promjena kako bi se osigurao samo po jedan svjetski prvak u svakoj diviziji, nevjerovatno, WBA trenutno ima 38 samo različiti nositelji pojaseva sa svjetskim naslovima 17 različite kategorije težine. Samo tri WBA divizije imaju jednog svjetskog prvaka – Super lagana, lagana i lagana muha – a osam ima tri svjetske titliste, uključujući i njegovu kruzer kategoriju, koja trenutno ima svjetske prvake u Lebedevu, Šumenov i privremeni prvak Yunier Dorticos, koji je drugi obavezni izazivač WBA-a.
Očigledan potez odnosa s javnošću, WBA je ovog mjeseca odjednom proglasio osipom obaveznih obrana, međutim, Izjava i zapravo vođenje ove borbe za naslov su dvije različite stvari, kako je Šumenov nažalost naučio. WBA je trebao naručiti Lebedev vs.. Ponuda za torbicu Šumenova održana je u junu 21, 2016, kada se dvije strane nisu mogle dogovoriti, ali WBA to nije uspio. Kada je Šumenov u junu ponovio svoj zahtjev za nadmetanjem, WBA još jednom nije djelovao.
WBA pravilo D: Ponude za tašnu
1. Poziv za nadmetanje. Učesnici borbe postići će dogovor o održavanju borbe najkasnije devedeset (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, Andrej Rjabinski, 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 rekao.
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.

Moises Chucky Flores remains undefeated winning IBO title wants Rigondeaux next
Photo By Team Pro Box Management
WINDHOEK, NAMIBIA (Jun 12, 2016) – Last night at the Ramatex Factory in Windhoek, Namibija, Mexico’s super-bantamweight standout, Moises “Chucky” Cvijeće (25-0, 17 KOs) remained undefeated with a 12-round unanimous decision over hometown hero, Paulus Ambunda (24-2, 10 KOs). With the victory Flores captured the IBO championship and retained his WBA interim title.
Cvijeće, who hails from Guadalajara, Meksiko, controlled the action from the opening round. Flores scored three knockdowns throughout the fight using superior boxing skills while applying pressure to keep Ambunda off balance. As Flores mounted a substantial lead he never looked back. Scorecards read 115-110, 115-111 i 114-111, all in favor for Flores.
“It’s never an easy task going into someone’s hometown and getting the victory,” said Moises “Chucky” Cvijeće. “I had complete faith in myself, as did my team, fighting Ambunda in his hometown. We knew we had to dominate the fight to win on the judges’ scorecards. He’s a durable fighter with a lot of heart but I was not going to be denied tonight. I want to be recognized as the next great fighter from Mexico. Želim Guillermo Rigondeaux next.”
Guided by Pro Box Management’s Gary Jonas i henry Rivalta, a fight with Rigondeaux is on the horizon. Trenutno, Flores is the mandatory challenger to fight Rigondeaux, who is the current WBA Super Champion at super-bantamweight.
“Flores once again proved he’s an elite fighter winning in Ambunda’s backyard.” said Gary Jonas. “Now we are focused on getting in the ring with Rigondeaux. Flores is the WBA interim champion and he’s hungry to become the super champion. Right now we are in talks with team Rigondeaux to get this fight made. Chucky is ready to take over the 122-pound division.”

WBA cruiserweight world champion wants
Denis Lebedev fight to happen this summer
|
LAS VEGAS (Jun 5, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) kruzer svjetski prvak Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 KOs) stopped No. 11-procijenjen Junior “Uragan” Wright (15-2-1, 12 KOs) u 10th krug svojih maja 21sttitle fight to remain mandatory challenger for unified WBA Super/International Boxing Federation (IBF) kruzer svjetski prvak Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 KOs). The WBA mandated a Lebedev-Shumenov fight unutar 120 dani of May 21. Shumenov, 32, je 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 i Montell Griffin – kao i sedam svijeta za titulu. On je 8-2 (4 KOs) u svijetu naslovu borbama
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. Cvijeće. Ali, 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. U 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 unutar 120 dani od maja 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, Andrej Rjabinski, 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. Međutim, 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 unutar 120 dani of May 21st. Spreman sam, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, previše.”

World champion Beibut Shumenov to defend title vs. Junior Wright this Saturday night in Las Vegas
 LAS VEGAS (Maj 18, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Privremeni kruzer svetski šampion Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) makes his first title defense ove subote noć (Maj 21) against WBA No. 11-procijenjen Junior “Uragan” 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 ove subote noć,” Shumenov rekao, “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. Cvijeće (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 ove subote in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) prvak 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 Shumenovunutar 120 dani. The WBA, međutim, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “redovan” cruiserweight world title fight ovog petka night in France between No. 2 Yunier Dorticos No i. 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, naravno, 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. “Svaka borba, 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.
