NEWS RELEASE – World Boxing Federation a.s.b.l. (WBF)
WBF Title Fights in USA and France on February 24^th

Two World Boxing Federation (WBF) title fights will take place on Friday, February 24, as Mike Tiberi faces Toris Brewer for the vacant North American Super Middleweight title in Dover, Delaware, USA, and Thierry Karl and Sandro Siproshvili clash for the vacant International Cruiserweight crown in Saint Quentin, France.

Going for his first professional title, “Mighty” Mike Tiberi, a 23-year-old bright prospect from nearby Wilmington, has racked up an impressive 18-1 (7) record since entering the paid ranks in June 2007. His sole defeat came in his seventh bout to fellow undefeated prospect Dwayne Shelton, dropping a four round decision. Since then he has moved up a weight-class, and hasn’t come close to losing again.

His opponent, 38-yeal-old Toris “The Bull” Brewer, 14-4 (6), could turn out to be the biggest test so far for Tiberi. While the South Carolina-resident is coming off two losses, he has never been stopped and has mixed with better opposition than his younger foe. A real “Prospect vs. Veteran” encounter, the Tiberi vs. Brewer WBF North American Super Middleweight title fight goes ahead at the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino, as is the co-feature alongside a Super Featherweight battle between top-contender Juan Carlos Burgos and former world champion Cristobal Cruz.

On the same night in France, at the Palais des Sports in Saint Quentin, former two-time French national champion Thierry Karl will take a crack at his first Cruiserweight belt, the WBF International, when he steps in the ring with Georgian tough-guy Sandro Siproshvili.

Karl, 29-5 (19), holds some excellent wins in lower weight classes, such as stoppages over undefeated opponents Dejan Ribac (16-0) and WBO world title-challenger Nadjib Mohammedi (19-0), but it remains to be seen if he can carry his punching power up to cruiserweight.

In his last fight, this past November, Karl (27) stopped Serbian journeyman Mile Nikolic in the first round, but a seasoned campaigner such as Siproshvili will be a whole ‘nother kettle of fish.

Based in Prague, Czech Republic, Siproshvili, 25-10 (12), has fought some of the best Cruiserweights in Europe. Only stopped in his professional debut, the 29-year old Georgian has gone the distance with former World Champions Herbie Hide and Ola Afolabi, as well as several top-class contenders.

While Karl must be considered the favorite, Siproshvili will definitely be a true test for him at Cruiserweight, and if the Frenchman is not on top of his game he will surely have a hard time winning the fight. On the other hand, if he manages to win inside the distance, and do what Hide and Afolabi couldn’t do, it will be a great measure of what kind of success he may achieve at the new weight.

The Thierry Karl vs. Sandro Siprosvili WBF International Cruiserweight title fight is scheduled for ten rounds, and is presented by Sport Evenements Promotion. Also on the card will be a European Union Super Featherweight title fight between Guillaume Frenois and Hovhannes Zhamkochyan.

Wednesday 19th January 2011

In a new deal brokered by the Boxing Federation of Russia, the country’s top sports club Dynamo is set to take over the Moscow franchise in the World Series of Boxing (WSB) with immediate effect. The team takes the new name Dynamo Moscow and will have its first match against the Istanbulls away on Friday, January 28th before the first home match on February 5th in a new home venue.

Unhappy with the Moscow team’s performance so far in the season (the team is currently bottom of the European conference after six weeks of competition), the Boxing Federation of Russia intends to boost the squad with the country’s top national boxers, whilst retaining the foreign boxers already contracted to the Moscow team: lightweight Alisher Mahmdudov and bantamweight Ziyodulla Hadiyatullaev, both from Uzbekistan, and light heavyweight Zhavlonbek Usmanov from Kyrgyzstan. The team-up with Dynamo means that the best Russian boxers will be available to the WSB, since all of the boxers in the Russian national squad box out of Dynamo clubs.

Dynamo Moscow competes in the European conference of the WSB against Dolce & Gabbana Milano Thunder, the Istanbulls and Paris United. The team currently lies fourth in the European conference table with six matches remaining in the 2010-2011 regular season. The top teams from each conference, plus the best second placed team overall, advance to the play-off stage to compete for a place in the team finals. The top two boxers in the individual standings for each of the five weight categories will meet at the Individual Championships, where the winner automatically qualifies for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

AIBA President and WSB Chairman Dr C. K. Wu welcomed the new agreement: “I am delighted that we have been able to resolve this issue with the help of the Boxing Federation of Russia and Dynamo,” he said. “The WSB will not tolerate any impropriety in any of its franchises and will not hesitate to take action to protect its interests if agreements it has in place are not respected. We have had an excellent start to the inaugural season with universal acclaim from boxers and fans alike. We will not let this be jeopardized.”
