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

LAS VEGAS (Май 18, 2016) – Световна асоциация Boxing (WBA) Временното Cruiserweight световен шампион Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 Нокаута) makes his first title defense тази събота нощ (Май 21) against WBA No. 11-Оценени Джуниър “Ураган” Wright (15-1-1, 12 Нокаута) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight тази събота нощ,” Shumenov каза, “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. Цветя (31-1-1, 20 Нокаута) 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 Денис Лебедев (28-2, 21 Нокаута), who also fights тази събота in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) шампион Виктор Емилио “Тайсън де Abasto” Ramirez (22-2-1, 17 Нокаута) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovв рамките на 120 дни. The WBA, обаче, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “редовен” cruiserweight world title fight този петък night in France between No. 2 Юниер Dorticos и Не. 5 Юрий 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, разбира се, 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. “Всяка битка, 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.
