Campeão interino do WBA World Bantamweight Zhanat “ZZ” Zhakiyanov (26-1, 18 KOs) E seus representantes agora são forçados a responder às falsidades deliberadas que estão sendo distribuídas pela equipe em torno do Super Flyweight South Africano Zolani Tete. Zhakiyanov de Petropavl, Cazaquistão, é um guerreiro orgulhoso, que está disposto a enfrentar alguém desde o início de sua carreira. Que é o que torna as alegações flagrantemente falsas e intencionalmente enganosas do acampamento de Tete tão irritantes.
Tete e seu gerente, MLA Dengimfene, tenho alimentado a mídia uma história fictícia de que Zhakiyanov recentemente recuou de uma suposta luta entre os dois, supostamente agendado para Junho 4 na Echo Arena em Liverpool.
Um problema.
Zhakiyanov e seu povo nunca foram contatados sobre essa luta. Nunca existiu.
“Eu nunca ouvi falar de ninguém sobre esta luta,” disse Zhakiyanov. “Eles estão dizendo que não posso ganhar peso e é por isso que não posso lutar com ele. Eu nunca deveria lutar com ele! Ele e seu povo estão contando histórias.”
Gerente de Zhakiyanov, Philippe Fondu, se pergunta por que a mídia acreditaria que essa luta já existiu quando uma rápida verificação do livro de regras da WBA teria eliminado toda a conversa sobre essa partida.
“Havia alguns rumores infundados na rede sobre Zhanat defendendo contra Tete há um tempo, Mas nunca tendo recebido nenhuma proposta concreta de ninguém, incluindo seu novo promotor Frank Warren, Eu nunca prestei atenção específica a esses rumores. Mas vamos ser honestos aqui. Zhanat Zhakiyanov é o atual campeão interino da WBA Bantamweight e Tete está na verdade boxe para outras organizações mundiais (IBF e/ou WBO). Além disso, Tete está avaliado #9 na divisão WBA Super-Flyweight (115 lb.). Esse concurso obviamente nem sequer ser considerado, Como um WBA interino 118 lb. Champion só pode defender seu título contra um boxeador com classificação de 15 primeiros da WBA no 118 lb. divisão.”
Fondu também diz que Zhakiyanov, promovido por Hatton Promotions, é totalmente capaz de tornar o limite de peso de 118 lb e recebe toda e qualquer proposta de luta viável aprovável pela WBA.
“Estou no boxe há muitos anos e entendo usar a mídia para obter o nome de um lutador impresso,” Continuou fondu, “Mas eles estão usando o nome de um campeão e orgulhoso representante de seu país natal, Cazaquistão, para fazer isso e não está certo. Espero que a mídia seja mais responsável por verificar os fatos no futuro.”

WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion & Mandatory challenger Beibut Shumenov protests Dorticos-Kalenga WBA “regular” world cruiserweight title fight
 LAS VEGAS (Abril 29, 2016) – Associação Mundial de Boxe (WBA) Interim cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs), the only Kazakhstan-native to hold world titles in two different weight classes, is disputing the WBA’s sanctioning of the WBA “regular” cruiserweight world championship fight, Maio 20 em Paris, between two lower-ranked WBA fighters, Não. 2 yunier Dorticós e n. 5 Youri Kalenga (recently upgraded to No. 3).Em julho passado, Shumenov defeated B.J. Flores by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the mandatory challenger for WBA “regular” campeão cruiserweight Denis Lebedev, who was later elevated to “Super” campeão.
Lebedev hasn’t fought a mandatory defense em um ano, ironicamente, when he won a 12-round decision over Kalenga, who had earned his world title shot, like Shumenov, by becoming WBA Interim world champion. The WBA granted Lebedev an extension in terms of his due mandatory defense because of the Russian’s unification fight Maio 21 in Moscow against International Boxing Federation (IBF) titular Victor Emelio Ramirez.
“I’m very disappointed the WBA is sanctioning Dorticos-Kalenga for its ‘regular’ cruiserweight title, when I am the No. 1 ranked and current WBA Interim champion,” Shumenov disse. “I repeatedly informed the WBA through emails, texts and verbally that I was ready to fight back in January. I preferred to fight Lebedev but I was willing to fight Dorticos or anybody else in the top 15. For the past few months, I’ve been laboring over what I believe is a very bad decision, letting two lower-ranked fighters, o Não. 2 e n. 3 caras, fight for the WBA ‘regular’ título. I am shocked and bewildered and do not understand the WBA’s rationale to have either of these fighters declared the WBA ‘regular’ champion without first defeating either Lebedev or me, the Interim champion and No. 1 rank contender.
“I appealed the decision but, so far, the WBA has done little in response to my appeals other than delay and stall before finally ruling that I will fight the Lebedev-Ramirez winner months from now, ainda, ignoring my appeal to stop the regular title status of Dorticos-Kalenga and still sanction a fight between them, its No. 2 e n. 3 rated fighters, for the WBA ‘regular’ título. This is unfair to fans, who deserve to watch the best fighting the best, especially when a world championship is at stake! We now have this odd situation where there will be three separate WBA cruiserweight fights in May, all for a different version of WBA world title I just don’t feel anyone should get the WBA ‘regular’ title without first defeating a champion or at least the top-ranked fighter in the division. The WBA knew I was and am ready to fight. Its decision makes no sense and, Na minha opinião, diminishes the prestige and meaning of the title. I have respect for Dorticos and Kalenga but I think the legitimacy of any world title resulting from a fight between the No. 2 e n. 3 ranked contenders, when the No 1 mandatory contender who already holds the WBA Interim champion is ready and available, para dizer o mínimo, is highly questionable.
“The WBA told me and announced to the media that it was working to have only one world champion in each division. While I’ve been sitting out the last four months waiting to fight, the WBA has decided to allow six different guys to fight for três WBA cruiserweight world titles, practically on the same day, instead of crowning only one WBA cruiserweight world champion. I look forward to returning to the ring and my manager, Al Haymon, has advised me that I will fight in May and we will announce next week. I want to thank everyone for their support and I apologize to my family, amigos, fans and my country, Cazaquistão, for this chaos the WBA has caused that has damaged and delayed my professional boxing career. I will move forward and continue to fight inside the ring, letting my attorneys and manager fight this unfair situation outside the ring.”

NOVA IORQUE (Fevereiro. 27, 2016) – IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton unified the super bantamweight division with a split decision victory over WBA titlist Scott Quigg Sábado on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL from Manchester, Inglaterra.
An encore presentation of Sábado telecast will re-air later this evening immediately following the live Showtime Championship Boxing® telecast headlined by three-division world champion Leo Santa Cruz e ex-campeão Kiko Martinez. The SHOWTIME telecast begins at 10 p.m. E/7 p.m. PT.
The long-awaited matchup of unbeaten champions got off to a slow and tactical start, but Belfast native Frampton (22-0, 14 KOs) established himself as the aggressor and worked his jab to pocket the early rounds. Quigg didn’t come alive until after the seventh, when trainer Joe Gallagher warned his charge that he was likely down big on the judges’ scorecards.
QUIGG (31-1-2) pounded the body and was the aggressor in rounds eight through 11, but it was too little, too late for the Lancashire, England native. Frampton won the 12th and walked away the unified champion by scores of 115-113 for Quigg, mas 116-112 twice for Frampton.
“I couldn’t believe it was a split,” Frampton said. “I don’t know what that lad was watching, but as long as I got my hand raised at the end of the fight, isso é o principal.
“We have a great rivalry, and it was a great fight at the end. The start wasn’t great, but of course I would do it again. I’m happy to campaign at super bantamweight, but if a big fight comes calling at featherweight – Santa Cruz, Selby, any of these guys – I’m ready for them.”
Quigg admitted he should have pushed the action in the early rounds, but still thought he did enough to get the decision.
“I felt comfortable,” Quigg said. “The judges must have been counting his punches as scoring, but I thought I was blocking them. I should have started faster. I felt comfortable and I thought I was winning the rounds because he wasn’t winning clear. I’m not going to complain. Eu quero uma revanche. Maybe next time I’ll start a bit earlier.”

Here’s what Frampton, Quigg and their trainers and promoters had to say in Manchester on Thursday:
CARL FRAMPTON:
“I’m better in every department, claro e simples.
“Because of the magnitude of this fight, everything had to be perfect. I’ve done everything right this time,"
“This means so much; there is a lot at stake. It’s more than titles – it’s pride and bragging rights. It’s proving who is the best. Reputation is a big deal, so there is so much on the line.
“I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to win. I’ve punching power to KO him in any round and I’ve the boxing brain to win on points.
“I’ve spent 17 weeks in camp, the longest ever. I missed my son’s first steps and both my kids’ birthdays. I did that because this could be my toughest fight. I’m not going to let Scott Quigg make all that be for nothing.”
“It’s going to be a great fight, one for the ages. I’ll win. It doesn’t matter how, KO or clear points decision.
On the home-team dressing room:
“I’m contractually the A-side. It’s a question of principle.”
SCOTT QUIGG:
“Nobody does what I do in terms of dedication to the sport. I’ll win because of boxing brain and ability.
“It’ll mean everything to win. Since the age of 15, all I have done is eat, sleep and train.
"Sábado is my moment of destiny and, acredite em mim, Eu vou vencer essa luta. I’ve put in too much for anyone to stop me.”
“Tune in for a great fight. I’m going to prove I’m the best super bantamweight. I’m going to win by knockout.
On the home-team dressing room:
“It’s my arena, I’m the home fighter. I want the home dressing room.”
SHANE McGuigan, Instrutor de Frampton:
“They are two legitimate, world class fighters and there is maybe only 2 percent difference at the top level – Carl has that extra percent.
“As a trainer you are only as good as your fighters and I’m lucky to have Carl.”
JOE GALLAGHER, Quigg’s Trainer
"Ele (Shane McGuigan) was a nutritionist a few years ago who asked to help Gerry Storey. He’s only famous because of his dad.
“They are underestimating Scott’s boxing brain and being disrespectful throughout the build-up.”
Barry McGuigan, Frampton’s Promoter
“There has never been a bigger super bantamweight fight of this magnitude in Europe. It’s got a Barrera-Morales feel to hit and is going to be a magnificent occasion.
“I think Carl will have too much for him, but it has the potential to be a great fight.”
EDDIE HEARN, Quigg’s Promoter
“It’s bigger than Froch vs. Groves, because it is a global event.
“I’m proud to have made the fight happen. This can ignite the sport and keep it alive.
“The atmosphere and passion will eclipse all that has gone before. It just doesn’t get any bigger than this.
“I can’t see anything other than a great fight. With two fighters this talented, so much on the line and so much passion from teams and fans, you’re going to get something very special.”

Undefeated 122-pound world champions Carl Frampton (IBF) e Scott QUIGG (WBA) held media workouts na terça-feira em Manchester, Inglaterra, as they finalize preparation for their long-awaited super bantamweight unification showdown this Sábado, Fevereiro. 27 emManchester Arena.

Here’s what Frampton and Quigg had to say as they approachSábado luta:
CARL FRAMPTON:
“I have wanted this fight for a long, há muito tempo. I thrive on the big occasions and there are not many bigger than a domestic super fight.
“I won my world title on a massive stage, Scott Quigg was handed his title after a draw. He has fought on big cards but not as a bill-topper and I genuinely don’t know if he will be able to handle this level of pressure. I’m going to use all of my experience to outbox, outfight and outgun Scott Quigg.
“We’ve been chasing these boys for years. They didn’t want it, end of story. Then all it took was one below par performance from me to convince his team that they should finally take the fight. If that first round in my last fight is what they’re basing their hopes of victory on then Scott is in for a big, big shock.
“I’ve had the best training camp of my career, I’m in the shape of my life and I’m going to become the unified Super Bantamweight World Champion.
“First and foremost I’m doing this for my family. I have two beautiful kids and both Christine (Frampton) and I want the best for them, that’s what drives me and makes me so focused on being the best in the world.
“I am 100 percent dedicated to the sport of boxing, I spend twelve-weeks in training camp in London away from home, only getting to go home a handful of times and I do this so I can be the best I possibly can.
“People have said Quigg trains like a machine. I can tell you I train every bit as hard if not harder, but I’m no machine. I don’t need to be programmed in order to perform.
“Shane (McGuigan) is a brilliant coach, I’ve been saying it all along. But now people are sitting up and taking notice. Shane and I work hard on tactics and techniques when we approach every fight, but we both know that if tactics need tweaking mid fight I can think my way through a contest. Scott Quigg can’t.”
SCOTT QUIGG:
“This is the perfect time now for this fight. We’re both world champions, we’re both undefeated, and I believe this is the perfect time for me to go out there and do a job on him.
“It’s a fight I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a fight that’s been brewing for a long time. Seeing Carl sign on the dotted line meant that I was one step closer to achieving everything I’ve worked towards; becoming the best.
“I’ve always wanted the chance to prove I’m the best. Now the fight’s been made, I’m one million per cent confident that I’m going win in spectacular fashion. I can win on points, but I will knock out Carl Frampton.
“No-one expected me to get Kiko out of there early. If I’d have stopped him late or won on points, then Carl had already done that, so the only way I could get credit or show people what I am capable of was KO him early.
“With Carl and his performance in the States, they handpicked (Alejandro) Gonzalez from a list of opponents because they thought that he would be the easiest one. They wanted to go over there and look good in his U.S. debut so the Americans would rave about him – and he nearly came unstuck.
“We respect each other as fighters. You don’t become a world champion by chance, there’s a lot of hard work and a lot of talent involved. But they are in for a shock because they think I can only fight one way. They don’t think I can’t adapt and I’ll just come steaming forward. Maybe I will do that, but if I do come steaming forward, it’s because I am going to KO him.
“People are saying now that because I’ve been knocking guys out quite early that I’ve been going out for the stoppages, but that’s not the case. I’ve been going out and I’ve been boxing.
“If I land clean on any super bantamweight or featherweight in the world, I will knock them out. Assim, it’s about just making sure I pick the right time and I open the gaps. And when the gaps are there then I’ll take them.
“I don’t take any notice of whether I’ve got the crowd behind me or whether it is behind my opponent, but I know for a fact that he takes comfort from having a lot of support. When he’s taken away from that, he shows his vulnerabilities. I think that will affect him.
“The Irish are very passionate about the sport and they know their boxing inside-out. They get behind their man and they will create a great atmosphere. The atmosphere is going to go off even more because we’re both at the top of our game and there’s a lot riding on this. There’s a lot of pride at stake – it’s going to be electric.”
“I got into boxing to become world champion. I’ve done that and now I’ve set new goals to reach greater heights because I want to challenge myself every day.
“Ricky Hatton became a crossover star and was a hit in the US. He took 40,000 Brits to Las Vegas and became a global star. That’s the next goal that I’ve set for myself and I can make it if I keep working hard, maintain my dedication and focus.
“Getting this fight now on SHOWTIME in the U.S. is the first step. I’ll go out and do a job on Carl, win in a spectacular fashion and that’s going to give me a boost for my profile in the U.S.
“I am not going to give the WBA belt up. Eu quero lutar com os melhores. Guillermo Rigondeaux is next because that’s what the WBA have ordered.
“My focus is on beating Carl. We’ll look at fighting the best out there after that. I’ve always said, ‘I’m out to fight the best and beat the best.’ So, I’m obviously going to fight Rigondeaux. I’m not scared of fighting him. I’m not shying away from the challenge. I thrive on that sort of task and fighting Rigondeaux – who’s rightly so ranked No. 1 in the division because of what he’s achieved – would be a huge challenge. I honestly believe that if the time comes and we fight, I can beat him.”
SHANE McGuigan, Instrutor de Frampton:
“There is a lot of debate about who hits harder between Frampton and Quigg. I know Carl Frampton is the hardest punching Super Bantamweight in the world.
“One thing you can’t argue about is who has the better pedigree and who has the better boxing brain. Carl wins hands down in both departments and he is going to show this in brutal and clinical fashion.
“Carl can box off the back foot, he can fight on the front foot and he has devastating one-punch power.”
Barry McGuigan, Frampton’s Promoter:
“Carl is always so cool when the heat is on him, he steps up to the plate and delivers.
“Even in his last fight when he didn’t get off to a great start, Carl still managed to pull himself together and do what was needed to get the win.
“He’s a natural born winner. I had to work very hard just to be able to compete at world level. I think the same can be said of Scott Quigg, but for Carl it comes more naturally. Couple this with his incredible work ethic and that is why Carl Frampton is the best in the world.”
