WORLD TITLES ON FOX SPORTS NET FROM
HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO IN LAS VEGAS
LOS ANGELES, January 25 – A pair of unbeaten prospects from Uzbekistan, light heavyweight Gayrat Ahmedov and junior middleweight Ravshan Hudaynazarov, are set to make their United States debuts in separate bouts on January 29 on the Gabriel Campillo vs. Beibut Shumenov II card at The Joint at Hark Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Ahmedov (12-0-1, 8 KOs), a four-time Uzbekistan National Amateur Champion, and Hudaynazarov (9-0, 6 KOs) a 2007 World Military Games Gold Medalist, have been training in North Carolina with veteran trainer Don Turner in preparation for their January 29 bouts. Both fighters are promoted by Las Vegas-based KZ Event Productions, owned and operated by the Shumenov brothers, January 29 main event challenger Beibut and Chingis.
In his last fight, Ahmedov knocked out Douglas Otieno (19-2, 9 KO’s) in the opening round on the Campillo-Shumenov I card, capturing the PABA light heavyweight belts that Shumenov relinquished prior to challenging Campillo in their WBA Light Heavyweight Championship match last August in Kazakhstan.
“I’m excited for this fight because one of my goals has always been to fight in Las Vegas,” the personable Ahmedov explained. “I have trained in Las Vegas, but this will be my first time fighting there. The Shumenov brothers are the reason I am fighting in the United States and I’m thankful to them. Beibut is a fighter himself, so he knows what it takes to be a champion and understands what a fighter goes through so he treats us like people.”
Ahmedov continued, “If everything goes as planned and I win this fight, Beibut has talked about getting me a shot at a world title in 2010. Because Beibut and I are like brothers, so even though we are in the same weight class, we will never fight each other. We want to both be world champions together, just for different organizations.”
Ravshan also fought on the Campillo-Shumenov I event, stopping veteran Joseph Miyumo (30-7-5, 17 KO’s) in the sixth round to keep his perfect pro record intact. “I’m very happy to be fighting January 29 in Las Vegas,” Ravshan said. “It’s been one of my dreams to fight there. I want to thank my promoter, KZ Event Productions, for giving me the opportunity to fight in the United States. I want to wish Beibut luck in his bout and that I hope that he wins the world title. This is a very important fight for him and all of us with KZ Event Productions and I’m very happy to be promoted by KZ and grateful for what they’ve given me. I will not let them or the fans down on January 29 as I’m going to give everybody a good fight to watch, so don’t miss it.”
Ahmedov and Hudaynazarov are scheduled to be in 6-round bouts versus opponents to be determined.
“Campillo vs. Shumenov II” features the 12-round WBA Light Heavyweight Championship rematch between the defending champion, Spain’s Gabriel Campillo (19-2, 6 KOs), and IBA World title-holder, Beibut Shumenov (8-1, 6 KOs). The evening of boxing will be presented by KZ Event Productions and Golden Boy Promotions with Campillo vs. Shumenov presented in association with Sampson Boxing LLC. The bout will be televised live on Fox Sports Net (FSN) and its regional sports network affiliates beginning at 11 pm ET / 8 pm PT (check local listings). Doors will open at 6 pm and the first bell rings at 7 pm.
In the event’s opening televised fight, former Cuban amateur star Erislandy Lara (9-0, 5 KO’s) takes on veteran junior middleweight Grady Brewer (26-11, 15 KO’s), winner of hit reality television show The Contender II, in a 10-round bout.
Tickets for this action-packed night of boxing are priced at $150, $125, $100, $50 and $40 (general admission standing room tickets). Tickets may be purchased at the Hard Rock Hotel Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations, online at www.Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.

BEIBUT SHUMENOV SEEKS REDEMPTION ON JANUARY 29 AGAINST GABRIEL CAMPILLO
COMPUBOX ANALYSIS
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD TITLE FIGHT TO BE AIRED ON
FOX SPORTS NET FROM HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO
IN LAS VEGAS
LOS ANGELES, January 21 – A comprehensive analysis by highly-regarded punch stat compiler and analyst CompuBox supports Team Shumenov’s original contention, as well as the contention of the vast majority of fans in attendance, that Beibut Shumenov deserved to win a unanimous 12-round decision against Gabriel Campillo in their August 15, 2009 World Boxing Association (WBA) Light Heavyweight World Championship fight.
Campillo, however, was able to hold on to his WBA World Title by way of a controversial decision that was announced as unanimous but changed the following day to a majority decision (114-113 John Coyle, 113-113 Glenn Feldman, 115-111 Pasquale Procopio) when a scoring error was discovered. The controversy surrounding the scoring has led to their January 29 World Title rematch at The Joint at Hark Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
According to CompuBox’s statistical breakdown of Campillo-Shumenov I, Shumenov landed more total punches and at a higher connect percentage (213 of 651 compared to Campillo’s 199 of 672), including a dominating 193-144 edge in power punches. CompuBox’s scoring gave Shumenov the first five rounds in addition to the eighth and ninth (10-8) for a 115-112 advantage. (See full chart below)
“We always believed that Beibut won a close decision and we’re happy that the analysis by an independent organization like CompuBox fully supports us,” Chingis Shumenov, Co-Owner of KZ Event Productions said. “Beibut is seeking redemption. We look forward to the rematch and are grateful that the WBA has sanctioned it.”
“Campillo vs. Shumenov II” features the 12-round WBA Light Heavyweight Championship rematch between the defending champion, Spain’s Campillo (19-2, 6 KOs), and IBA World title-holderShumenov (8-1, 6 KOs).

Doors will open at 6 pm and the first bell rings at 7 pm.
In the event’s opening televised fight, former Cuban amateur star Erislandy Lara (9-0, 5 KO’s) takes on veteran junior middleweight Grady Brewer (26-11, 15 KO’s), winner of hit reality television show The Contender II, in a 10-round bout.
Joining Shumenov on the January 29 show are two other KZ Event Productions fighters, unbeaten Uzbekistan prospects light heavyweight Gayrat Ahmedov (12-0-1, 8 KO’s) and Ravshan Hudaynazarov (9-0, 6 KO’s), making their United States debuts in separate bouts.

GABRIEL CAMPILLO & BEIBUT SHUMENOV CLASH IN REMATCH FOR LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE ON JANUARY 29 AT HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO IN LAS VEGAS AND TELEVISED LIVE ON FOX SPORTS NET
TICKETS ON SALE TOMORROW, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9 AT 12 PM PT!
LOS ANGELES, January 8 – On Friday, January 29, KZ Event Productions and Golden Boy Promotions are pleased to present an evening of world championship boxing when they present “Fight Night With De La Hoya and Hopkins: Campillo vs. Shumenov II” at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In the 12-round main event, Spain’s Gabriel Campillo will defend his WBA Light Heavyweight World Title against Las Vegas resident Beibut Shumenov, who will defend his IBA Light Heavyweight World Title, in a rematch of their heated 2009 title fight. In that August bout, Campillo upset the odds in an exciting 12 rounder that saw both men hit the deck before the Spaniard took the razor-thin and highly controversial majority decision.
“Fight Night With De La Hoya and Hopkins: Campillo vs. Shumenov II” is presented by KZ Event Productions and Golden Boy Promotions, with Campillo vs. Shumenov presented in association with Sampson Boxing LLC. The bout will be televised live on Fox Sports Net (FSN) and its regional sports network affiliates beginning at 11 pm ET / 8 pm PT (check local listings). Doors will open at 6 pm and the first bell rings at 7 pm.
Tickets for this action-packed night of boxing, which will be hosted by and attended by future Hall of Famers Oscar de la Hoya and Bernard Hopkins, are priced at $150, $125, $100, $50 and $40 (general admission standing room tickets), and go on sale this Saturday morning, January 9, at 12pm PT. Tickets may be purchased at the Hard Rock Hotel Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations, online at www.Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.
Also in action will be undefeated Cuban star Erislandy Lara, Uzbekistani standouts Gayrat Ahmedov and Ravshan Hudaynazarov, and hot California prospect Ronny Rios.
A professional since 2002, 31-year-old Gabriel Campillo (19-2, 6 KO’s) really hit his stride 2009. Formerly the holder of the Spanish light heavyweight title, Campillo kicked off last year by decisioning Lolenga Mock for the European Union belt. Just three months later on June 20, he defeated Hugo Garay in his home country of Argentina for the WBA Light Heavyweight World Title before finishing off 2009 with his win over the previously unbeaten Shumenov. On January 29, he looks for a repeat against Shumenov in his United States debut.
One of boxing’s most amazing stories, Beibut Shumenov (8-1, 6 KO’s) represented his country of Kazakhstan in the 2004 Olympics, but didn’t make his professional debut until 2007. Shumenov quickly made up for lost time, defeating veterans Donnell Wiggins and Epifanio Mendoza, as well as former World Champions Montell Griffin and Byron Mitchell, all within his first eight professional fights, an impressive feat by any standards. Although he lost to Campillo in his first world title bout last year, the 26-year-old Shumenov plans to use the defeat as a learning experience and aims to reverse that result on January 29.
Former amateur star Erislandy Lara (9-0, 5 KO’s) has made a seamless transition to the professional ranks since leaving Cuba, and in nine fights has dazzled boxing insiders and fans with his speed, power and poise. Fresh off of a near-shutout win over veteran Luciano Perez in his first 10-round fight last December, Lara will face an opponent to be named in a 10-round junior middleweight bout.
Making their United States debuts on January 29 will be light heavyweight Gayrat Ahmedov (12-0-1, 8 KO’s) and his fellow countryman from Uzbekistan, junior middleweight Ravshan Hudaynazarov (9-0, 7 KO’s). Both fighters are known for their ring savvy and exciting styles, and with Ahmedov riding a five-fight knockout streak and Hudaynazarov winning his last three bouts by knockout, fans can expect fireworks from both of them when they compete in eight round bouts against opponents to be announced.
19-year-old featherweight phenom Ronny Rios (8-0, 4 KO’s) kicks off his 2010 campaign on January 29 and if his 2009 season was any indication, fight fans should be in for something special from the Santa Ana, California native, who went 6-0 with 3 knockouts last year. Rios will see action in a six round featherweight bout.

WBA sanctions Campillo-Shumenov II
LAS VEGAS (Oct. 8, 2009) — KZ Event Productions, Inc. and Sampson Boxing LLC are pleased to announce that the World Boxing Association (WBA) has officially agreed to sanction the upcoming rematch between WBA Champion Gabriel Campillo and Beibut Shumenov as a bout for the WBA World Light Heavyweight Championship. The bout will be promoted by KZ and will take place at a date and location to be determined, but in no event later than February 28, 2010.
Beibut Shumenov, who also serves as KZ’s president, stated that he was excited to get back in the ring with Campillo. He further noted that he accepts the representation of the Campillo camp that neither Mr. Campillo nor any of his camp violated the WBA’s banned substance rules in connection with the first Campillo/Shumenov bout, and has therefore withdrawn any such claim to the contrary that has been made to the WBA.
Gabriel Campillo stated he too was excited about the rematch. Both Campillo and his promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, went on to state that all issues concerning monies due to them in connection with the first Campillo/Shumenov bout have been resolved, and that they have therefore withdrawn any such claim to the contrary that has been made to the WBA. They further stated that that they accept the representation of KZ and Shumenov that KZ and Shumenov have at all times acted in good faith with respect to financial issues, and that the delay in payment was solely the result of a good faith dispute between the parties.
Campillo and Shumenov to rematch
Representatives of WBA Light Heavyweight Champion Gabriel Campillo and challenger Beibut Shumenov have announced that they have agreed to a rematch, thereby resolving all of their present disputes. The bout will likely take place in Nevada next January.
SHUMENOV WELSHES ON PURSE
In a situation which reflects the dangers of a boxer being self promoted, Biebut Shumenov through the company of which he is President, has failed to pay the purse of his opponent, Gabriel Campillo. The Campillo/Shumenov Light Heavyweight Title bout took place on August 14 in Kazakhstan and Campillo defeated Shumenov in 12 rounds, knocking Shumenov down.
Shumenov claims that Champion Campillo should have gone directly to a drug testing station but the Supervisor of the bout, Guy Jutras of Canada, has put a lie to that contention, writing in his report of the bout:
“FROM THE MOMENT MR. CAMPILLO LEFT THE RING AFTER THE BOUT, UNTIL THE URINE TEST WAS COMPLETED … HE (CAMPILLO) NEVER LEFT OUR SIGHT EXCEPT FOR THE BRIEF PERIOD OF SOME TEN SECONDS (AS MENTIONED ABOVE) WHEN HE (CAMPILLO) ENTERED THE SHOWER ROOM IN HIS OWN DRESSING ROOM AND EXITED THAT SHOWER STALL IMMEDIATELY UPON BEING ASKED TO DO SO. (Capitalization in the original)
I can categorically state without any hesitation that Mr. Campillo was given no opportunity to escape Judge Procopio’s and or my own diligent observations of his (Campillo’s) every move and whereabouts except for the ‘ten seconds’ referred to which Judge Procopio and I took to enter the shower and request him to leave.
… After reviewing and diligently analyzing the events as described in this and my previous reports, along with Judge Procopio’s written report, I feel confident that the comportment of Mr. Campillo and his team as related to the urine test was in full compliance with the WBA Rules.” (Emphasis added).
Pasquale Procopio, one of the judges and the person assigned to escort Mr. Campillo to the anti doping test has also written a report fully supporting Jutras’ version of events.
Mr. Campillo passed the ensuing drug test. The doping control officer signed a form in which he represented that the test was taken in a fully satisfactory manner.
Mr. Campillo has, through his counsel Patrick C. English, submitted papers to the WBA in which he points out that Shumenov is self-promoted and that his actions show the pitfalls of this.
In his petition to the WBA to have Shumenov’s promotional status stripped, Campillo, through his counsel wrote:
“It is completely clear that Campillo has not been paid because he violated Shumenov Rule 1. He beat him. Obviously Shumenov felt that because he was the favorite, because he was the promoter, and because he was on home turf, Campillo was supposed to “take a dive.” Campillo didn’t and to punish him in direct contravention of his attorney’s written words and the words of the officers of his promotional company [after the bout both promised in writing to pay Campillo] he has not paid his opponent. For a person in boxing this is as despicable an act as there is.”
Full copies of Mr. Jutras’ report and a copy of the drug test that Mr. Campillo passed are annexed.
Campillo awarded controversial decision against game Shumenov
ASTANA, Kazakhstan (August 16, 2009) – Previously unbeaten Beibut Shumenov lost a highly controversial 12-round decision last night to WBA light heavyweight champion Gabriel Campillo that left the crowd upset when announced at the Sport Complex “Daulet” National Tennis Center in Astana, Kazakhstan.
The show was presented by KZ Event Productions, owned and operated by the Shumenov brothers, Beibut and Chingis.
On the scorecards, Campillo-Shumenov was a majority draw going into the 12th and final round, in which, Campillo (19-2, 6 KOs) caught Beibut (8-1, 6 KOs) midway through the final round that felled the off-balanced Shumenov, which turned out to be the deciding factor.
Judge John Coyle scored the fight 114-113, Glenn Feldman 114-112, Pasquale Procopio 115-111. Questionable scoring resulted in Campillo being in position to win the fight by taking the last three rounds on two judges’ scorecards, as well as two of three by the other judge. Most observers at the fight had Beibut winning.
“Shumenov is a great boxer,” said road warrior Campillo, who won the title this past June against Hugo Hernan Garay in Argentina. “He will be world champion.”
Shumenov, reigning IBA World champion, floored Campillo with a spectacular counter left-hook at the end of the ninth round.
“Everyone thought Beibut won the fight,” promoter Chingis Shumenov remarked after the fight. “All we wanted was a fair shake and we were surprised by the final scores. Beibut will be back stronger than ever.”
Uzbekistan prospect Gayrat Ahmedov (12-01, KOs) stopped Douglas “Daggy” Otieno (19-2, 9 KOs) at 2:14 of the opening to win the vacant WBC Asian Pacific and PABA light heavyweight titles. Ahmedov, 4-time Uzbekistan National amateur champion, drilled Otieno with a vicious left hook to the body that disabled the Kenyan.
Former WBO light welterweight champion Demarcus “Chop Chop” Corley’s (35-11, 21 KOs) comeback continued versus “Jessie” James Kimori (11-2, 7 KOs) by eighth-round knockout. An outworked and weakened Kimori, who had had been floored for an 8-count in the sixth round, came out for the final round and Corley immediately unloaded a devastating right hook that put his opponent to sleep on his back as the fight was halted.
Uzbekistan light middleweight prospect Ravshan Hudaynazarov (9-0, 6 KOs), 2007 World Military Games gold medalist, kept his unbeaten pro record intact with a first-round knockout of Joseph “Mish” Miyumo (30-8-5, 17 KOs), former ECAPBG champion. Hudaynazarov trapped Miyumo on the ropes midway through the opening frame, unloading a barrage of punches that put the Kenyan down twice, the last for the final time as he was counted out.
