WBA light heavyweight champion Beibut Shumenov has responded to some recent critical comments from Sergey Kovalev, the WBO's champion at 175-pounds.
Last month, Kovalev (23-0-1, 21KOs) took a direct shot at Shumenov (14-1, 9KOs), as the Russian puncher voiced his disgust with World Boxing Association's decision to make Shumenov a "super champion" at light heavyweight.
The WBA is taking a lot of heat from the press, and the fans, because the organization is creating a huge mess with multiple champions in each weight division. Juergan Braehmer has since captured the WBA's "regular" version of the title at 175, which now creates more confusion with two boxers claiming to be the "WBA champion" at the weight. Middleweight Gennady Golovkin was another fighter who was recently given this "super champion" status, with Martin Murray and Jarrod Fletcher fighting for the old WBA title in February.
