SHUMENOV PUNISHES ORNELAS RESULTS FROM LAS VEGAS

(All pictures by Emily Harney - KZ Event Productions) LAS VEGAS (June 2, 2012) - World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Association (IBA) Light Heavyweight World Champion Beibut Shumenov (13-1, 8 KO's) battered a game Enrique Ornelas (33-87, 21 KO's) from the opening bell en route to dominant victory by unanimous decision at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Shumenov revealed after the fight that he had injured his right forearm 10 days ago during a sparring session. It didn't prevent him, however, from pitching a complete shutout, winning each round on all three judges' scorecards in the 12-round main event. Shumenov was the aggressor, throwing hard rights to the head and body, especially effective were his well timed uppercuts. Ornelas was unable to counter Shumenov, who threw powerful combinations and then avoided Ornelas' late counters. Shumenov, a 2008 Kazakhstan Olympian, lives in Las Vegas and his fourth successful title defense was at the same venue in which he first captured the WBA crown. "I trained very hard because I knew he (Ornelas) is very tough," Shuenov said after the fight. "His defense was very good. I wasn't able to show my best because of the arm injury I suffered. I'm happy with the win." Shumenov's advisor, Hall of Fame promoter Don Chargin, said that he will sit down next week with Shumenov to discuss his next fight. "We have three great offers from Kessler, Hopkins and Cleverly," Chargin noted. Shumenov vs. Ornelas was promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and KZ Event Productions and sponsored by Corona and DeWalt Tools. The FOX Sports Net and FOX Deportes bilingual simulcast aired live and FUEL TV will rebroadcast the fight on Sunday, July 1, at 12:00 p.m. ET/9:00 a.m. PT. Welterweight prospect Joseph Elegele (13-1, 10 KO's), fighting out of Winter Haven, Florida, floored Philadelphia boxer Lanard Lane (13-2, 8 KO's) once in a hotly contested win by majority decision (77-74, 76-75, 78-76) in a spirited eight round co-main event. Undefeated Ravshan Hudaynazarov, fighting out of Las Vegas, improved his record to 16-0 (12 KO's) by convincingly defeating WBO Latino welterweight champion Euri Gonzalez (20-2-1, 14 KO's), whose only other loss was to WBC Super Welterweight World Champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, by unanimous decision in an eight-round junior middleweight bout. All three ringside judges scored in Hudaynazarov's favor with tallies of 79-73. Hudaynazarov is the reigning WBA FEDALATIN welterweight champion and world rated No. 15 by the WBA. The former Uzbekistan amateur boxing standout and KZ Event Productions promoted rising star celebrated his 28th birthday last night. Promising middleweight Daquan Arnett (4-0, 2 KO's) of Orlando, Florida, remained unbeaten with a unanimous four-round decision over a game Yosmani Abreu (2-e-1) in a four round fight. California featherweight Johnny Reyes (1-0, 1 KO), from Lancaster, Calif., won a four round decision from Uriel Torres, who was making his pro debut in a four round fight For more information on Golden Boy Promotions, visit www.goldenboypromotions.com, follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/GoldenBoyBoxing or visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/GoldenBoyBoxing.

SHUMENOV VS. ORNELAS UNDERCARD ANNOUNCED

BEIBUT SHUMENOV DEFENDS HIS WORLD TITLE AGAINST TOP CONTENDER ENRIQUE ORNELAS AT HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO IN LAS VEGAS ON JUNE 2, LIVE ON FOX SPORTS NET AND FOX DEPORTES WITH FUEL TV TO AIR ON DELAYED BASIS

LAS VEGAS (May 29, 2012) - On Saturday, June 2 two of the talent-rich welterweight division's top prospects, Joseph Elegele and Lanard Lane, will meet in the co-main event of the card headlined by the WBA Light Heavyweight World Championship fight between Beibut Shumenov and Enrique Ornelas at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev., both of which will be televised live on FOX Sports Net and FOX Deportes, as well as on a delayed basis on FUEL TV. Shumenov (12-1, 8 KO's) puts his WBA crown on the line against former super middleweight world title challenger Enrique Ornelas (33-7, 21 KO's) in the 12-round main event. Shumenov vs. Ornelas is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and KZ Event Productions and sponsored by Corona and DeWalt Tools. The FOX Sports Net and FOX Deportes bilingual simulcast will air live at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT. FUEL TV will rebroadcast the fight on Sunday, July 1, at 12:00 p.m. ET/9:00 a.m. PT. Tickets, priced at $100, $60, $30, $25, along with a limited number of VIP suite seats priced at $125, may be purchased at the Hard Rock Hotel Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations, online at www.ticketmaster.com or by phone at (800) 745-3000. A power puncher with five first round knockouts to his name, Winter Haven, Florida's Joseph Elegele (12-1, 10 KO's) delivers excitement every time he steps into the ring and Saturday night's fight gives him a chance to shine on the world stage. A professional since 2009, the 27-year-old southpaw is coming off of a controversial technical decision loss to fellow prospect Aaron Martinez in July of last year, and he can't wait to get back in the ring and get back in the win column. A Philadelphia fighter to the core, 29-year-old Lanard Lane (13-1, 8 KO's) may make his home in Houston these days, but when the going gets tough, he is ready to throw down and make his fellow Philly warriors proud. The owner of wins over tough competitors like Dairo Esalas and John Brown, Lane bounced back from the lone loss of his professional career against Mike Dallas in 2010 by stopping Milton Ramos in eight rounds in March. Now he has his sights on a similar result against fellow prospect Elegele this weekend. Hudaynazarov, fighting out of Las Vegas, is the reigning WBA FEDALATIN 147-pound champion and world rated No. 15 by the WBA. Known as a devastating body puncher, the former Uzbekistan amateur boxing standout and KZ Event Productions promoted rising star who turns 28 the night of the official weigh-in (Friday), steps-up in class to fight current WBO Latino welterweight champion Euri "Millon" Gonzalez (20-1-1, 14 KO's), whose only loss was to WBC Super Welterweight World Champion Canelo Alvarez, in an intriguing eight-round fight. Seeing action in a televised undercard fight is rising middleweight prospect Daquan Arnett (3-0, 2 KO's) of Orlando, Florida who faces Yosmani Abreu (2-2-1) of Las Vegas in a four round bout. Also featured will be featherweight Johnny Reyes (1-0, 1 KO), from Lancaster, Calif., who will square off against Uriel Torres, of Los Angeles, Calif. making his professional debut, in a four round fight and Russian middleweight Dmitry Chudinov (6-0-1, 3 KO's), who now resides in Winter Haven, Florida, who will battle an opponent to be determined in a six-round tilt.

Shumenov Versus Ornelas June 2 in Vegas

WORLD CHAMPION BEIBUT SHUMENOV DEVELOPING INTERNATIONAL STAR APPEAL

Shumenov vs. Ornelas WBA World Light Heavyweight Championship June 2, 2012 ●  Hard Rock Hotel & Casino ● Las Vegas, NV

SHUMENOV TO FACE ENRIQUE ORNELAS AT HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO IN LAS VEGAS ON JUNE 2 LIVE ON FOX SPORTS NET AND FOX DEPORTES WITH FUEL TV TO AIR ON DELAYED BASIS  LAS VEGAS (May 17, 2012) - Unable to secure a unification title fight against the other 175-pound world champions, World Boxing Association (WBA) Light Heavyweight World Champion Beibut Shumenov returns on June 2 to make his fourth title defense against former super middleweight world title challenger Enrique Ornelas (33-7, 21 KO's) at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. in a fight that will be televised live on FOX Sports Net and FIX Deportes and will be televised on a delayed basis on FUEL TV. Shumenov vs. Ornelas is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and KZ Event Productions and sponsored by Corona and DeWalt Tools.  The FOX Sports Net and FOX Deportes bilingual simulcast will air live at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT.  FUEL TV will rebroadcast the fight on Sunday, July 1, at 12:00 p.m. ET/9:00 a.m. PT. Tickets, priced at $100, $60, $30, $25, along with a limited number of VIP suite seats priced at $125, may be purchased at the Hard Rock Hotel Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations, online at www.ticketmaster.com or by phone at (800) 745-3000. "I'm looking forward to defending my world title belt, especially on a nationally televised show once again," Shumenov said from his Las Vegas home." A unique boxing world champion, at least in terms of his background, Shumenov has growing international appeal.  The chiseled 2008 Kazakhstan Olympian is a lawyer and boxing promoter who, along with his brother Chingis Shumenov, owns and operates KZ Event Productions out of Las Vegas. Two-and-a-half years ago, also at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Shumenov captured the WBA World Title in just his 10th professional bout with a 12-round unanimous decision victory over former World Champion Gabriel Campillo.  The win established a new record for a fighter winning a major light heavyweight world championship in the fewest professional fights.  Shumenov was scheduled for a unification fight on Jan. 8, 2011 against World Boxing Organization (WBO) World Champion Juergen Braehmer in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, but Braehner pulled out of the fight just a few days prior to the scheduled event.  To avoid cancelling the show in the capital city of his native country, Shumenov fought former World Champion William Joppy, who was slated to face another fighter on the same card. Since capturing his WBA World title belt, Shumenov has successfully defended against undefeated, mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Uzelkov (DEC 12), Joppy (KO 6) and most recently Danny Santiago (TKO 9) this past July.  The 28-year-old Shumenov has defeated four world champions - Campillo, Byron Mitchell, Joppy and Montell Griffin - as well as former world title challengers Epifanio Mendoza, Uzelkov and Santiago in only 13 professional bouts. "My goal has always been and remains to fight the best and unify the world light heavyweight title." Shumenov noted.  "To do that I need to keep practicing and improving with each and every fight. Someday, I hope one of the other world champions will put his belt on the line against mine.  Until then, though, I am only focused on defending my world title belt against the toughest possible challengers like Ornelas." Some present and former world champions have made overtures about fighting Shumenov, but they have demanded that the fight be held in their respective hometowns.  To his credit, Shumenov hasn't made a Kazakhstan showdown a mandatory demand, despite attracting more than 30,000 fans there for a fight against Griffin in 2008. "All fighters dream of fighting in the boxing capital of the world, Las Vegas," Shumenov remarked.  "I'd love to fight again in Kazakhstan and intend to do that again someday, but Las Vegas is a perfect, neutral site." Hall of Fame promoter Don Chargin, who serves as Shumenov's advisor, has been frustrated by biased media reports about major fights for Shumenov.   "I had discussions with representatives for a title fight with (Jean) Pascal and unification with (Nathan) Cleverly," Chargin explained. "They wanted to fight in Canada and England, but we preferred Las Vegas or Kazakhstan.  Beibut's the world champion and I didn't believe those options to fight in Canada or England were in his best interest.  Discussions never got any further because neither of them were really serious about fighting us. Meanwhile, time had passed.  Beibut's layoff was no fault of his own; he wanted to fight all along and patiently waited. Making either of those fights, though, was out of his control.  If things go right June 2, we'll try again to make a unification fight." Shumenov understands that, first, he has to get past a tough, hungry challenger in Guanajuato, Mexico's Ornelas, who has moved up to the light heavyweight division after an impressive run at 168 pounds, where he owned the NABF title and proved to be a strong challenger for Robert Stieglitz' WBO title in 2010.
