 ЛАС-ВЕГАС (Мая 18, 2016) – Всемирная боксерская ассоциация (WBA) Временный чемпион мира в тяжелом Шуменов Бакбо (16-2, 10 КО) makes his first title defense в эту субботу ночь (Мая 21) against WBA No. 11-номинальный юниор “Ураган” Райт (15-1-1, 12 КО) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight в эту субботу ночь,” Шуменов сказал, “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. Цветы (31-1-1, 20 КО) 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 КО), who also fights в эту субботу in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) чемпион Виктор Эмилио “Тайсон де Abasto” Рамирес (22-2-1, 17 КО) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovв 120 дней. The WBA, однако, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “регулярный” cruiserweight world title fight в эту пятницу night in France between No. 2 Юниер Дортикос и Нет. 5 Юрий Каленга (since upgraded to No. 3), especially after announcing that it would work this year to have only one world champion in each weight class.
Шуменов, конечно, 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. “Каждый бой, 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.
