 LAS VEGAS (Μάιος 18, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Ενδιάμεσες Cruiserweight Παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs) makes his first title defense αυτό το Σάββατο νύχτα (Μάιος 21) against WBA No. 11-βαθμολογια Junior “Τυφώνας” Εργάτης (15-1-1, 12 KOs) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight αυτό το Σάββατο νύχτα,” Shumenov είπε, “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. Λουλούδια (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 αυτό το Σάββατο in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) πρωταθλητής Victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ραμίρεζ (22-2-1, 17 KOs) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovwithin 120 ημέρες. The WBA, ωστόσο, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “τακτικός” cruiserweight world title fight αυτή την Παρασκευή night in France between No. 2 Γιουνιέρ Dorticos και αριθ. 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, φυσικά, 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. “Κάθε αγώνας, 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.
