Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev – WBO, WBA i IBF Campió Mundial de pes pesat lleuger
“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." Sala – Two-Time World Champion
“I’m grateful to be here today. I want to thank everyone who is associated with this event—the good, el mal, the press, tot això. Obviously HBO, Peter Nelson, Roc Nation, Esdeveniments principals, 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, Esdeveniments principals
"Finalment. 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, En la meva opinió, 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. a 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, finalment, I’m quite pleased to officially announce “Pound for Pound” and that on Dissabte, November 19th, two of the five best fighters in the whole world will fight each other. OMB, WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight Champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev, que és 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 Esports, Krusher Promotions and Andre Ward Promotions. In addition to the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, the fight sponsors will be Rosneft and Corona.”

Team Shumenov responds to Lebedev vs. Gassiev world title fight announcement
|
LAS VEGAS (Agost 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 al maig 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu dins 120 dia. (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 dins 48 hores. WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion Yunier Dorticós has also objected. At this present time, encara que, 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).

Lee Baxter Promotions Inks Logan McGuinness
Toronto, Ontario, Canadà (Agost 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 comptabilitat professional amb 10 victòries arribades per nocaut. The 29-year-old McGuinness is a former WBA-NABA champion at 126, 130 i 135 lliura, earning NABA Fighter of the Year in 2011.
Formerly ranked number 4 al món per l'AMB, 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.
L'equip Shumenov demana a l'AMB que declari l'oferta de la borsa per a la lluita pel títol obligatòria vs. Lebedev o treure a Lebedev del seu cinturó de títol mundial de pes creuer
 LAS VEGAS (Juliol 22, 2016) – Ha passat més d'un mes des de l'Associació Mundial de Boxa (AMB) campió mundial de pes creuer Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs), basat en les normes i reglaments del Torneig de pes creuer WBA, molt publicitats, va demanar a l'AMB que declarés una oferta per a una lluita pel títol entre el campió de pes súper creuer de l'AMB Denis Lebedev, o desposseir a Lebedev del seu cinturó de títol per no complir.Al juliol passat, Shumenov derrotat B.J. Flors mitjançant una decisió unànime de 12 rondes de convertir-se en el desafiador obligatori de l'AMB per a Lebedev, que no lluita contra una defensa obligatòria des de l'abril 10, 2015.
L'AMB va emetre una resolució l'abril passat que Lebedev, qui va derrotar Víctor Emelio Ramírez al maig per convertir-se també en campió de pes creuer de la Federació Internacional de Boxa, ha de lluitar contra Shumenov dins 120 dia del maig d'aquest últim 21, 2016 victòria per nocaut Júnior Wright.
En registre per fer canvis per assegurar només un campió del món a cada divisió, increïblement, l'AMB té actualment 38 diferents titulars del cinturó del títol mundial només 17 diferents classes de pes. Només tres divisions de l'AMB tenen un campió del món – super lleuger, pes mosca lleuger i lleuger – i vuit tenen tres campions mundials, inclosa la seva divisió de pes creuer, que actualment té campions del món a Lebedev, Shumenov i campió interí Yunier Dorticós, qui és el segon desafiador obligatori de l'AMB.
En un aparent moviment de relacions públiques, L'AMB ha declarat de sobte aquest mes una erupció de defenses obligatòries, però, declarar i fer aquestes lluites pel títol són dues coses diferents, com Shumenov ha après malauradament. L'AMB hauria d'haver ordenat un Lebedev vs. Oferta de la bossa de Shumenov el juny 21, 2016, quan les dues parts no podien arribar a un acord, però l'AMB no ho va fer. Quan Shumenov va repetir la seva petició d'una oferta de bossa al juny, l'AMB no va tornar a actuar.
Regla D de l'AMB: Ofertes de cartera
1. Convocatòria d'oferta de monedes. Els participants del combat arribaran a un acord sobre la celebració del combat no més tard de noranta (90) dies abans del venciment del termini obligatori. Per confirmar que s'ha arribat a un acord, l'AMB ha de rebre contractes de combat acceptables signats pels boxejadors que certifiquin que han assolit les condicions per al combat. Si no s'ha arribat a un acord, la Comissió de Campionats, amb el vistiplau del president, pot demanar una oferta de Purse. Un boxejador també pot sol·licitar una oferta de bossa en qualsevol moment.
El promotor de Lebedev, Andrei Riabinsky, ha estat citat en històries sobre tenir un acord perquè el seu lluitador defensi primer el seu títol de la FIB. En efecte, l'AMB està permetent a Lebedev mantenir com a ostatge el cinturó del títol súper creuer de l'AMB, aprofitant-lo contra la seva corona IBF. Shumenov, que és un antic campió de pes pesat súper lleuger de l'AMB, ara ha portat amb orgull el cinturó WBA al voltant de la cintura durant un total de gairebé cinc anys.
“Tenia ganes de lluitar contra Lebedev i no entenc la seva falta de voluntat i la seva negativa a entrar al ring amb mi,” Shumenov dir.
L'equip Shumenov està extremadament decebut pel fet que l'AMB no va actuar per fer la lluita amb Lebedev que va ordenar., a més de desanimar-se pel fracàs de l'AMB, després de diverses peticions, per fixar una data de licitació o treure a Lebedev del seu cinturó de títol mundial. El fet de no saber si o quan l'AMB finalment governarà ha deixat Shumenov incapaç de reservar cap baralla.. El fracàs de l'AMB per fer complir la seva pròpia regla d'oferta de monedes, o tirar Lebedev, ha impedit injustament que Shumenov es guanyés la vida mentre estava al cim de la seva carrera de boxa professional.
Shumenov és l'únic kazakh natiu que ha estat campió del món de dues divisions. Ara és resident a Las Vegas, també va representar el seu Kazakhstan natal al 2004 Jocs Olímpics a Grècia.

Moises Chucky Flores remains undefeated winning IBO title wants Rigondeaux next
Photo By Team Pro Box Management
WINDHOEK, NAMIBIA (Juny 12, 2016) – Last night at the Ramatex Factory in Windhoek, Namíbia, Mexico’s super-bantamweight standout, Moises “Chucky” Flors (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.
Flors, who hails from Guadalajara, Mèxic, 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. Llegides targetes de puntuació 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” Flors. “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’ quadres de comandament. 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. Vull Guillermo Rigondeaux next.”
Guided by Pro Box Management’s Gary Jonas i De Henry Riva, a fight with Rigondeaux is on the horizon. Actualment, 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 (Juny 5, 2016) – Associació Mundial de Boxa (AMB) campió mundial de pes creuer Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 KOs) stopped No. 11-Qualificació Júnior “Huracà” Wright (15-2-1, 12 KOs) al 10º assalt de la seva maig 21sttitle fight to remain mandatory challenger for unified WBA Super/International Boxing Federation (FIB) campió mundial de pes creuer Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 KOs). The WBA mandated a Lebedev-Shumenov fight dins 120 dia of May 21. Shumenov, 32, és una 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 – així com set reptadors al títol mundial. Ell és 8-2 (4 KOs) en baralles de títol 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. Flors. Però, 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. En la meva propera lluita, 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 dins 120 dia a partir del maig 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 Riabinsky, 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. No obstant això, 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 dins 120 dia of May 21st. Estic a punt, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, també.”

World champion Beibut Shumenov to defend title vs. Junior Wright this Saturday night in Las Vegas
 LAS VEGAS (Maig 18, 2016) – Associació Mundial de Boxa (AMB) Provisional campió mundial creuer Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) makes his first title defense aquest dissabte nit (Maig 21) against WBA No. 11-Qualificació Júnior “Huracà” 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 aquest dissabte nit,” Shumenov dir, “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. Flors (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 aquest dissabte in Russia against International Boxing Federation (FIB) campió Victor Emilio “El Tyson de Proveïment” Ramírez (22-2-1, 17 KOs) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovdins 120 dia. The WBA, però, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “regular” cruiserweight world title fight aquest divendres night in France between No. 2 Yunier Dorticós i n. 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, per descomptat, 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. “Cada baralla, 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.
