During his 9-year professional boxing career, Shumenov has defeated four world championsGabriel Campillo, Byron Mitchell, William Joppy und Montell Griffin – sowie sieben WM-Titel Herausforderer. Er ist 8-2 (4 KOs) in WM-Titel kämpft
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. Blumen. Aber, 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. In 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 innerhalb 120 Tage ab Mai 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. Jedoch, 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 innerhalb 120 Tage of May 21st. Ich bin bereit, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, auch.”

Weltmeister Beibut Shumenov verteidigt Titel vs. Junior Wright an diesem Samstagabend in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (Mai 18, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim Cruiserweltmeister Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) macht seine erste Titelverteidigung an diesem Samstag Nacht (Mai 21) gegen WBA Nr. 11-Nenn Junior “Hurrikan” Wright (15-1-1, 12 KOs) im Chelsea im The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
“Ich freue mich über die Gelegenheit zu kämpfen an diesem Samstag Nacht,” Sagte Shumenov, “aber ich wünschte, ich könnte öfter kämpfen. Ich bin seit Januar bereit. In jeder Trainingseinheit erhalte ich neue Erkenntnisse. Ich bin ein ganz anderer Kämpfer als in meinem letzten Kampf.”
Shumenovs letzter Kampf war im Juli, in dem er besiegte B.J. Blumen (31-1-1, 20 KOs) durch einstimmige Entscheidung in 12 Runden in Las Vegas, um den vakanten WBA-Interimstitel zu gewinnen, Damit ist der ehemalige WBA-Weltmeister im Halbschwergewicht Shumenov der erste professionelle Boxer aus Kasachstan, der Weltmeister in zwei Divisionen wurde.
Indem er WBA-Interimschampion im Cruisergewicht wird, Shumenov wurde auch die Nr. 1 rangierter obligatorischer Herausforderer für die WBA-Titelliste im Super-Cruisergewicht Denis Lebedev (28-2, 21 KOs), der auch kämpft an diesem Samstag in Russland gegen die International Boxing Federation (IBF) Champion Victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ramirez (22-2-1, 17 KOs) in einem Vereinigungskampf.
Die WBA hat bereits angeordnet, dass Lebedev-Ramirez gegen Shumenov kämpfen mussinnerhalb 120 Tage. Die WBA, jedoch, hat nicht erklärt, warum es auch eine WBA erklärt hat “regelmäßig” WM-Kampf im Cruisergewicht an diesem Freitag Nacht in Frankreich zwischen Nr. 2 yunier Dorticós und Nr. 5 Youri Kalenga (seit Upgrade auf Nr. 3), vor allem nach der Ankündigung, dass es dieses Jahr funktionieren würde, nur einen Weltmeister in jeder Gewichtsklasse zu haben.
Shumenov, natürlich, riskiert seine Pflichtposition, indem er gegen Wright kämpft, der ehemalige 5-fache Chicago Golden Gloves-Champion. “Ich muss aktiv bleiben,” Shumenov erklärte, warum er ein solches Risiko eingeht. “Jeder Kampf, Ich sammle Erfahrung und es hilft mir auch, meine Kampffähigkeiten zu entwickeln.”
Die 12 Runden Schumenov vs. Der Wright-Titelkampf findet im nicht im Fernsehen übertragenen Teil der Show The Cosmopolitan statt.

WBA Interim Champ Zhakiyanov and Camp Respond to ‘Blatantly FalseRumors Being Spread by Super Flyweight Contender Zolani Tete

Interim WBA World Bantamweight Champion ZhanatZZ” Zhakiyanov (26-1, 18 KOs) and his representatives are now forced to respond to the deliberate falsehoods being distributed by the team around South African super flyweight Zolani Tete.

Zhakiyanov of Petropavl, Kasachstan, is a proud warrior, who has been willing to face anyone from the start of his career. Which is what makes the blatantly false and intentionally misleading allegations by Tete’s camp so infuriating.
Tete and his manager, Mla Tengimfene, have been feeding the media a fictional story that Zhakiyanov recently backed out of a purported fight between the two, supposedly scheduled for Juni 4 at Echo Arena in Liverpool.
One problem.
Zhakiyanov and his people were never even contacted about such a fight. It never existed.
I have never heard from anyone about this fight,” said Zhakiyanov. “They are saying I can’t make the weight and that’s why I can’t fight him. I was never supposed to fight him! He and his people are telling stories.
Zhakiyanov’s manager, Philippe Fondu, wonders why the media would even believe such a fight ever existed when a quick check of the WBA rule book would have eliminated all talk of such a match-up.
There were some unfounded rumors on the net about Zhanat defending against Tete a while ago, but having never received any concrete proposal from anyone, including his new promoter Frank Warren, I never paid any specific attention to these rumors. But let’s be honest here. Zhanat Zhakiyanov is the reigning interim WBA Bantamweight champion and Tete is actually boxing for other world organizations (IBF and/or WBO). Außerdem, Tete is rated #9 in the WBA super-flyweight division (115 lb.). Such a contest could obviously not even be considered, as a WBA Interim 118-lb. champion can only defend his title against a WBA top-15 rated boxer in the 118 Pfund. division.
Fondu also says that Zhakiyanov, promoted by Hatton Promotions, is fully capable of making the 118-lb weight limit and welcomes any and all viable fight proposals approvable by the WBA.
I have been in boxing many years and I understand using the media to get a fighter’s name in print,” continued Fondu, “but they are using the name of a champion and proud representative of his home country of Kazakhstan to do it and it’s not right. Hopefully the media will get more responsible about checking the facts in the future.

In Runde sechs, Crolla began to hurt Barroso and the Venezuelan challenger started to break down and seemed spent as he walked to his corner.

With the fight being on an even level, Singleton landed a big left that sent Anwar down in round eight.

Heading into his showdown with WBA World Lightweight Champion Anthony Crolla (30-4-3, 12 KOs) an diesem Samstag night at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, Vereinigtes Königreich, WBA #1-rated contender and interim champion Ismael Barroso (19-0-2, 18 KOs) and his team wish to offer their sincere respect to thefuture former champion.
He is a true champion,” said Barroso of Crolla. “There were easier domestic fights for more money he could have taken, but he wanted to do the right thing and face his top challenger. I admire him for that.
Leider, the murderous punching Barroso, von El Tigre, Venezuela, says he’ll be ending the brave Englishman’s run as champion am Samstag Nacht.
“Er (Crolla) won the WBA title by an upset last year and he’s a likeable man,” continued Barroso, “but all good things come to an end. When they help him up after the fightSamstag, he will have all my respect and I wish him very well for the rest of his life.

WBA-Interims-Weltmeister im Cruisergewicht & Pflichtherausforderer Beibut Shumenov protestiert gegen Dorticos-Kalenga WBA “regelmäßig” Weltmeistertitelkampf im Cruisergewicht

LAS VEGAS (April 29, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Zwischenweltmeister im Cruisergewicht Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs), der einzige gebürtige Kasachstan, der Weltmeistertitel in zwei verschiedenen Gewichtsklassen hält, bestreitet die Sanktionierung der WBA durch die WBA “regelmäßig” Weltmeisterschaftskampf im Cruisergewicht, Mai 20 in Paris, zwischen zwei rangniedrigeren WBA-Kämpfern, Unterlassen Sie. 2 yunier Dorticós und Nr. 5 Youri Kalenga (kürzlich aktualisiert auf Nr. 3).
Im Juli letzten Jahres, Schumenow besiegt B.J. Blumen durch eine einstimmige Entscheidung über 12 Runden, der obligatorische Herausforderer für die WBA zu werden “regelmäßig” Champion im Cruisergewicht Denis Lebedev, zu dem später erhoben wurde “Super” Champion.
Lebedev hat keine Pflichtverteidigung bekämpft innerhalb eines Jahres, ironisch, als er eine 12-Runden-Entscheidung über Kalenga gewann, der sich seinen WM-Titelschuss verdient hatte, wie Schumenow, indem er WBA-Interimsweltmeister wurde. Die WBA gewährte Lebedev wegen des Einigungskampfes des Russen eine Verlängerung seiner fälligen Pflichtverteidigung Mai 21 in Moskau gegen die International Boxing Federation (IBF) Titelverteidiger Victor Emelio Ramírez.
“Ich bin sehr enttäuscht, dass die WBA Dorticos-Kalenga für seinen „Stammspieler“ sanktioniert’ Titel im Cruiser, wenn ich die Nr. 1 rangierter und aktueller WBA-Interims-Champion,” Sagte Shumenov. “Ich habe die WBA wiederholt per E-Mail informiert, SMS und mündlich, dass ich bereit war, mich im Januar zu wehren. Ich zog es vor, gegen Lebedev zu kämpfen, aber ich war bereit, gegen Dorticos oder jeden anderen an der Spitze zu kämpfen 15. Für die letzten Monate, Ich habe über eine meiner Meinung nach sehr schlechte Entscheidung nachgedacht, zwei rangniedrigere Kämpfer zu lassen, das Nein. 2 und Nr. 3 Jungs, Kampf für die WBA ‘regulär’ Titel. Ich bin schockiert und verwirrt und verstehe die Begründung der WBA nicht, dass einer dieser Kämpfer die WBA für „regulär“ erklärt hat’ Champion, ohne vorher Lebedev oder mich zu besiegen, der Interims-Champion und Nr. 1 Rang Anwärter.
“Ich habe die Entscheidung aber angefochten, bis jetzt, Die WBA hat auf meine Appelle wenig reagiert, außer zu verzögern und zu warten, bevor sie schließlich entschied, dass ich in Monaten gegen den Lebedev-Ramirez-Sieger kämpfen werde, noch, Ich habe meinen Appell ignoriert, den regulären Titelstatus von Dorticos-Kalenga zu beenden und trotzdem einen Kampf zwischen ihnen zu genehmigen, es ist Nein. 2 und Nr. 3 bewertete Kämpfer, für die WBA „regulär’ Titel. Das ist den Fans gegenüber unfair, die es verdienen, die Besten gegen die Besten kämpfen zu sehen, Vor allem, wenn es um eine Weltmeisterschaft geht! Wir haben jetzt diese seltsame Situation, in der es im Mai drei separate WBA-Kämpfe im Cruisergewicht geben wird, alles für eine andere Version des WBA-Weltmeistertitels. Ich glaube einfach nicht, dass irgendjemand den WBA-Titel „regulär“ bekommen sollte’ Titel, ohne zuerst einen Champion oder zumindest den bestplatzierten Kämpfer der Division zu besiegen. Die WBA wusste, dass ich bereit war und bin, zu kämpfen. Seine Entscheidung macht keinen Sinn und, meiner Meinung nach, mindert Prestige und Bedeutung des Titels. Ich habe Respekt vor Dorticos und Kalenga, aber ich denke, die Legitimität jedes Weltmeistertitels, der aus einem Kampf zwischen der Nr. 2 und Nr. 3 rangierte Anwärter, wenn die Nr 1 Pflichtkandidat, der bereits den WBA-Interims-Champion hält, ist bereit und verfügbar, gelinde gesagt, ist höchst fragwürdig.
“Die WBA sagte mir und gab den Medien bekannt, dass sie daran arbeite, nur einen Weltmeister in jeder Division zu haben. Während ich die letzten vier Monate draußen gesessen und auf den Kampf gewartet habe, Die WBA hat beschlossen, sechs verschiedene Jungs für den Kampf zuzulassen drei WBA-Weltmeistertitel im Cruisergewicht, praktisch am selben Tag, anstatt nur einen WBA-Weltmeister im Cruisergewicht zu krönen. Ich freue mich darauf, in den Ring und zu meinem Manager zurückzukehren, Al Haymon, hat mir geraten, dass ich im Mai kämpfen werde und wir nächste Woche bekannt geben werden. Ich möchte allen für ihre Unterstützung danken und ich entschuldige mich bei meiner Familie, Freunde, Fans und mein Land, Kasachstan, für dieses Chaos, das die WBA verursacht hat und das meine professionelle Boxkarriere beschädigt und verzögert hat. Ich werde vorwärts gehen und weiter im Ring kämpfen, meine Anwälte und meinen Manager diese unfaire Situation außerhalb des Rings bekämpfen zu lassen.”
