Kalenga has never been in a dull fight. Two of his three career losses have been to current WBA Super cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev (26-2), who Kalenga dropped in the fourth round, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision in Russia, and last June he was stopped for the first time in his seven-year pro career by 20-0 yunier Dorticos in Paris for the Interim WBA strap.
The 23-year-old Rabii defeated 2016 Olympic gull Minnispeningur 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 Ólympíuleikarnir í Brasilíu, dropping a highly-disputed decision (0-3) in the semifinals to Uzebek boxer Shakhram Giyasov, the eventual silver medalist.
The ultra-charismatic Rabii has reached “rock star” status in Morocco, testament by an average of 6-million Moroccans viewing each of Rabbi’s Olympic matches on Arryadia Television. “We are very excited to work with our television partners, Arryadia, on our February 18th show as the first of five shows in 2017 featuring Mohammed Rabii,” forgöngumaður Gary Hyde sagði. “Rabii has the entire nation of Morocco behind him and he will be challenging for top welterweight honors in no time at all.”

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

Skildu eftir athugasemd
LAS VEGAS (Maí 18, 2016) – Heimur Boxing Association (WBA) Tímabundna Cruiserweight Heimsmeistarinn Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 Kos) makes his first title defense laugardag nótt (Maí 21) against WBA No. 11-einkunn Junior “Hurricane” 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 laugardag nótt,” Shumenov sagði, “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. Blóm (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 laugardag in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) meistari 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 daga. The WBA, þó, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “reglulega” cruiserweight world title fight á föstudaginn night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos og No. 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, Auðvitað, 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. “Hvert berjast, 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.

WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion & Mandatory challenger Beibut Shumenov protests Dorticos-Kalenga WBA “reglulega” world cruiserweight title fight

Skildu eftir athugasemd
LAS VEGAS (Apríl 29, 2016) – Heimur Boxing Association (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 “reglulega” cruiserweight world championship fight, Maí 20 í París, between two lower-ranked WBA fighters, Gera ekki. 2 yunier Dorticos og No. 5 Youri Kalenga (recently upgraded to No. 3).
Síðasta júlí, Shumenov defeated B.J. Blóm by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the mandatory challenger for WBA “reglulega” cruiserweight meistari Denis Lebedev, who was later elevated to “Super” meistari.
Lebedev hasn’t fought a mandatory defense á einu ári, kaldhæðnislega, 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 Maí 21 in Moscow against International Boxing Federation (IBF) titill-handhafi 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 sagði. “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, No. 2 og No. 3 krakkar, fight for the WBA ‘regular’ titill. 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, enn, ignoring my appeal to stop the regular title status of Dorticos-Kalenga and still sanction a fight between them, its No. 2 og No. 3 rated fighters, for the WBA ‘regular’ titill. 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, að mínu mati, 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 og No. 3 ranked contenders, when the No 1 mandatory contender who already holds the WBA Interim champion is ready and available, to say the least, 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 þrír 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, vinir, fans and my country, Kazakhstan, 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.”

“Ég hlakka til að fá tækifæri til að berjast við Lebedev-Ramirez sigurvegari vegna þess að það er alltaf verið markmið mitt að sameina titla,” Shumenov útskýrt. “Lebedev has always been my target. Ramirez is the other fighter I’ve really wanted to fight and my manager tried to make a fight between us, of.
“Ég hef verið í ræktinni síðan síðustu baráttu minni, þjálfun erfitt að fullkomna kunnáttu mína. Nú, I am a completely different fighter since I fought last July. My team is extremely happy and confident that I can beat all of the other world cruiserweight champions.”

“Tækifæri til að berjast sigurvegari Lebedev / Ramirez í stóru sameiningu baráttunni kom bara um á þessu ári og ég hafði ekki þessi valkostur til baka þegar ég samþykkti að byrja að berjast Wlodarczyk aftur í desember og ég var ófær um að sjá fyrir hvað myndi gerast að mínum fjölskyldan persónulega,” 32-year-old Shumenov said. “Ég hef ekkert vandamál að berjast Wlodarczyk í framtíðinni, but only after I fight the Lebedev-Ramirez unification winner. Að auki, hvenær sem er, Ég hef ekkert vandamál að berjast Þróttur No. 2-raðað yunier Dorticos.
“Núna, Ég er á baráttunni blómi mínu samt að bæta, þjálfun með þjálfara mínum, Ismael Salas. I want to show the world my skills before I get too old. Literally, Ég er tilbúinn að berjastá morgun and I’ve been ready for months. I’ll be back in the ring next month and then I’ll get my shot at the Lebedev-Ramirez winner.”
