WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 20, 2014) – Bernard “The Alien” Hopkins (55-6-2, 32 KOs), at 49-years-old, made history once again on Saturday night. He is now the oldest man to unify a boxing world championship and the oldest fighter to defend a world title-besting his own record-as he defeated Beibut Shumenov (14-2, 9 KOs) via split decision to become the Unified Light Heavyweight World Champion. Judges Dave Moretti and Jerry Roth scored the fight 116-111 for the future Hall of Famer while Gustavo Padilla scored the bout 114-113 for Shumenov. Boxing’s elder statesman, Hopkins was calm and confident throughout the fight, enforcing ring generalship against Shumenov who was never able to figure out a game plan to score. Shumenov, who is self-trained, threw very few combinations, and did not press the pace. Hopkins, on the other hand, dazzled with his timing, counterpunching and, at times, showmanship. In the 11th round, Hopkins landed a short right hand that sent Shumenov to the canvas for the fifth time in his career.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

CALIFORNIA (April 5, 2014) – Tonight at the Cache Creek Casino, Bruno “The Aloha Kid” Escalante (13-1-1, 6 KOs) successfully defended his IBA Super-Flyweight title with a unanimous decision victory against a game Victor Ruiz (12-3, 9 KOs). Escalante vs Ruiz was presented by Don Chargin Productions, Paco Presents Boxing and Cache Creek Casino Resort. In the early rounds, Ruiz pressed the action and won a few rounds before Escalante got into his grove. Escalante made the proper adjustments in the middle rounds and used superior boxing skills and defense to confuse Ruiz as he took the lead going into the final two rounds. Ruiz tried to make a final push but Escalante dug deep and finished strong. Escalante hurt his hand in round 2 and fought with his right hand for most of the fight. Scorecards read 98-92, 97-93, and 96-94 all in favor for Escalante. “This was a tough fight but I made the proper adjustments to come out on top,” said Escalante. “Ruiz is a warrior but he never hurt me except when I busted my left hand in the second round, but that came from me hitting him. My cornermen Brian Schwartz and Mike Bazzel gave me great advice. They told me to use my jab and stay relaxed. My defense was on point tonight and I was in great shape. I will go to the hospital tonight to get an x-ray of my hand. I’m hoping to return to the ring as soon as I get cleared from the doctor. I want to thank my team for this victory.” “Bruno did what he had to do to get the victory,” said Manager Herb Stone. “I’m very satisfied that Bruno was able to make the adjustment needed to win this fight. The prognosis of his hand injury will give me an idea of when he’ll be able to return. If it’s not too bad I will get him back in the ring in the summer.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

My energy is focused on beating Ruiz.” Escalante’s manager, Herb Stone, see’s some big fights right around the corner for Bruno should he win his fight with Ruiz. “Bruno is having a nice run right now.” said Herb Stone. “I want to keep the momentum going and hopefully get him in there with some other champions.

LAS VEGAS (June 2, 2012) – 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’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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The IBA GYM has been undergoing major changes in the last year. TONY RILA, has had three different artists come in and paint beautiful murals on the walls of the gym. It took about a year to finish the murals that not only pay tribute to many of the top world-class boxers in the sport but many noted people in the sport, i.e, Don King, Bob Arum, and many more. The gym was originally developed by RILA who decided to have a personal gym on his estate for IBA boxing champions and his personal friends. Tony got the idea to have a gym when he had visited the famous Prince Ranch and decided that he would like to also have one on his property. The property lies on 1.5 acres with beautiful trees and scenery, in a quiet setting. It took Tony three months to get the gym completed. The gym is equipped exclusively with Everlast boxing equipment, that includes a 20 foot boxing ring and all necessary boxing equipment that is needed for the champions. The gym is a personal contribution that Rila enjoyed participating in for his love of boxing. He collects autographed boxing gloves and memorabilia. In the office of the gym, he has over 300 signed boxing gloves from many of the past and current world champions. RILA has the IBA estate and gym for sale on the market.

Boxing fans in Albany, New York turned out in droves on Saturday night as Star Boxing presented “KO AT THE TU” at the Times Union Center. “We’re very pleased with the supportive crowd who saw some great fights and truly had an entertaining evening. Our next date here in Albany at the Times Union Center will be on Saturday, April 28th,” said Joe DeGuardia, President of Star Boxing. In front of a loud and supportive crowd approaching 4,000, heavyweight contender Joe “The Future ” Hanks defended his IBA Americas Title over monstrous Cuban Rafael Pedro. The 28-year-old Hanks took the fight right at the 6’7″ Pedro, pressuring the giant with piston like jabs and crunching body shots, easily winning the opening stanza. The assault continued in the second round when the proceedings ended abruptly. With Pedro attempting to fend off Hanks, he fell to the canvas after attempting a right hook. Suffering from an apparent dislocated right shoulder, Pedro informed the referee he was unable to continue and the bout was stopped at the 0:48 mark of the round. With the win, Hanks of Newark, New Jersey improved his perfect record to 19-0 with thirteen stoppages while Pedro fell to 21-10-1 (15KO’s).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

LAS VEGAS (January 3, 2012) – Hall of Fame promoter Don Chargin, advisor for WBA and IBA light heavyweight World champion Beibut Shumenov, has responded to a press release issued by Frank Warren Promotions that claimed Shumenov turned down a unification offer to fight WBO titlist Nathan Cleverly. The press release announced that Cleverly will be defending his WBO title February 25 against Tommy Karpency in Wales. It also claimed: An offer went to WBA title-holder Beibut Shumenov to face Cleverly, but he said he would not be ready in time – although it could happen later this year. Back in November, Chargin reached out to Warren, after reading stories that Cleverly was interested in a unification fight against Beibut. Chargin spoke twice to Warren’s matchmaker, Dean Powell, but Don didn’t hear back until he received an email yesterday.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
