As you know, Kazakhstan boxer Ivan Dychko decided to become a pro after a successful career in amateur boxing, for which he signed a contract with the American promotion company The Heavyweight Factory.

About what it is for the company with which the Kazakh heavyweight began to cooperate, the correspondent of the Republican Internet portal Sports.kz was told by its manager Henry Ribalta.

"Henry, let's talk first, please, a little about you." Kazakhstan boxing fans hardly know your name ...
- I've been working in boxing for 16 years, for me it's a real passion. I love all my boxers. Despite the fact that professional boxing is a pure business, my boxers, my fighters become a real family in our promotion company.

- Why did you decide to sign a contract with Ivan Dychko?
- I have very good intuition in this case for professional boxers. In due time I so began to work with the American boxer Eriksonom Lubinom, which then has achieved the big victories on a professional ring. Yes, now he is not in our promotional company, but just for him to become the star of professional boxing, our company has unleashed this warrior. I think Ivan has all the prerequisites to also achieve high results in his weight category.

- Can you reveal any details of the contract with Dychko? Does your company pay for all expenses?
- As to whether the company pays for it, - yes, here all expenses of Ivan The Heavyweight Factory are covered. As for the personal money contract of the Kazakhstan boxer, I never disclose this information concerning my boxers.

- With our boxers it often happens that the big rivals the promoters simply do not find money. Are you ready to invest in Ivan?
- Yes, of course, we are ready to invest money for the further successful career of Ivan in professional boxing. First of all, Dychko's personal promoter Chris Lawrence does it. We also take part in the further development plan of the Kazakh to ensure that everything went right - myself and my partner Zia Aliyev, who is also a boxer's manager.

- You had to deal with the promoter Vladimir Khryunov?
- Yes, I had to deal with this person, but I will say this: I do not trust him. I will not talk about him badly, it will probably be wrong. It's Khrunov's style - but not mine.

- In a recent interview with Sports.kz, Vladimir Khryunov rather unflattering about the company The Heavyweight Factory. How much of what he said, really?
- One day we will meet with Vladimir Khryunov face-to-face, and I am sure that he will say only good about the company Heavyweight Factory. I, for example, do not take 33 percent from my boxers, as many do. In 2005, my friend Don King told me that the attitude is much more expensive than money, but, apparently, not everyone understands this. In general, I try not to pay attention to such promoters, - I will say this: clowns - like Vladimir Khryunov. First of all, I'm not in boxing to answer all his comments. In general, in Russia I consider Mr. Andrey Ryabinsky a real and really worthy promoter.

- Also, Khryunov denied the information that the famous boxer Evander Holyfield in the past will help Ivan Dychko in the training process. Can you clarify the situation about this?
- Ivan's head coach - Deryk Santos, Evander Holyfield, also helps in the training process with his advice, prompting the Kazakhstan boxer. Holyfield and Dychko only recently lived in the same house and, naturally, quite often talked about the future of Ivan in the professionals. The advice of such a champion as Evander, of course, should help the Kazakh in his further career overseas.

- Can you give explanations about the picture of Dychko and Holyfield?
- Well, this statement that we, supposedly, caught Holyfield in the corridor to be photographed, can generally be called nonsense, - Mr. Khryunov can not distinguish our office from the corridor. We can take pictures with Holyfield at least every day, but we do not intend to do this to everyone afterwards to show the photos with him. Therefore, for which Vladimir Khryunov said this in his interview, for me personally it is not clear. Perhaps, he somehow feels painful that our company The Heavyweight Factory works with a Kazakhstan boxer. In the future we want to show how we are able to work, and the Boxing Federation of Kazakhstan, we want the people of Kazakhstan to trust our athletes more.

- Is it known, with whom and when is planned the first battle of Ivan Dychko?
"We are counting on holding his first battle in the professionals around mid-August." The other day Ivan will receive a visa, and he will need time to prepare his debut match in the ring in the pro.

 

The name of Kazakhstan boxer Jean Kosobutsky is well known to many fans of this sport. After appearances in amateur boxing, our fellow countryman decided to continue his career in professionals. But he went overseas to sign a contract - and disappeared ...

Correspondent of the republican Internet portal Sports.kz decided to find out from the athlete what he is doing now, and whether he is going to continue boxing.

- Jean, you have not been seen in the ring for a long time. What are you doing now?
- At the moment I'm constantly training and maintaining my form.

- Many people talked about the completion of your sports career ... And how are things really in fact?
- No, I did not intend to finish my career as a boxer. In the future, I plan to continue boxing in the ring. At this stage, I am considering proposals for speeches at the professional level.

- Are you currently training under the guidance of your father?
- Yes, now I, as before, train under the guidance of my father Sergei Kosobutsky in Kostanay.

- Did you have difficulties in signing a professional contract in the winter? Which ones?
- The main reason why this happened was the proposed conditions that did not suit me. There were also moments where there were no further words from the promoters.

- Do you have any news about signing a future contract?
- Yes, now things are moving forward in this plan. Recently I was offered to sign a contract for five years with the "Ural Boxing Promotion", but I did not like the conditions, and I refused them. In general, my interests are represented by people I know who are already in the next month should all questions on my further performance in professionals to solve.

- Are your interests represented by the Russian promoter Vladimir Hryunov?
"No, with this man, I do not mind any business." At one time he promised me a lot of the future contract, but all his actions were only in words, - before the signing of papers, the matter never came to pass. I spent a lot of time waiting, but in the end, he did not do anything.

- Scheduled in February fight in England for what reason and did not take place?
- It's on this one. Everything was arranged orally, but in reality, nothing happened.

- When will we be able to see you in the ring now?
- Well, if everything goes as planned, then in the next two months I will enter the ring. The desire for this to happen as soon as possible is quite large. I already had a long enough pause, and it is not worth it to delay more. After your long training, you have to start showing yourself already in the ring.

P.S. Zhan Kosobutskiy will make his pro debut on 29 August. He is a 3-time winner of Kazakhstan Nationals.He has victories over Medzhidov(Wide UD), Omarov, Osmay Acosta and others. He is only 29 years old.

 

David Price will face Raphael Zumbano Love on 16 September

 

Fonfara is moving up to the cruiserweight division.

 

The highest rated Polish heavyweight boxing champion Adam Kownacki (16-0, 13 KO) betrayed in a conversation with Przemek Garczarczyk that another fight would probably end in the fall of the United States.

- Maybe this week will decide the next fight. Probably October in the USA. I train non stop, "said a Pole living in New York.

Kownacki won the most success in professional ring in July, winning with Artur Szpilka. For "Baby Face" this was the second this year's victory.

Well, Bellew was stopped as a light heavyweight as well but haven't been stopped since.

 

It's just a matter of time before Vlasov gets his title shot.

 

Daley is decent but Vlasov should beat him if he avoids his bombs.

The other day Kazakhstan boxer Ivan Dychko signed a contract to continue his sports career in professional boxing with the American promoter company The Heavyweight Factory. Ziya Aliev, his manager, helped in this fight to Kazakhstani soldier, who told the correspondent of the Republican Internet portal Sports.kz about the plans of our boxer for the future.

- Zia, your ward Kazakhstan boxer Ivana Dychko recently signed a contract with the promotion company The Heavyweight Factory from the USA. Why did the choice fall on her?
- Ivan and I had several offers from different promoter companies, but decided to choose the Heavyweight Factory. The offer from this company was for us the most suitable option. The main thing that we took into account is, above all, the conditions for the boxer himself. And here they turned out to be the most optimal for Ivan.

- Have you found mutual understanding with this promoter when signing the contract?
- Yes, in principle, on all points we found mutual understanding with the promotion company. We reached an agreement with its representatives on further advancement of Ivan in professional boxing. Here the organization of good fights for the boxer, a place of carrying out of these duels was considered. Also agreed on the financial side of the contract, that is, on fees for future battles and victories.

- Now Ivan Dychko will be constantly in Miami?
- Yes, Ivan will now permanently live and train in the United States. He will conduct his battles, mainly in America. New York, Las Vegas - this is one of those cities where the performances of the Kazakhstan boxer are planned, Also his fights are possible and in Puerto Rico.

- Have you cooperated with this organization before?
- I knew this promotion organization before, but I have not cooperated with it yet.

- Ivan Dychko and Daniyar Yeleusinov had a bad experience of signing a contract with the promotion company MJA Entertainment. Can you tell us why this happened?
- Firstly, there investors abandoned this project, which was planned to be implemented. As a result, since all this was curtailed, the contract with them Ivan Dychko and Daniyar Yeleusinov was terminated. In the future, perhaps, the work on this project will resume, but for us there will be possible arrangements for one fight of Ivan Dychko in Shanghai or Beijing.

- Do you continue to represent Daniyar Yeleusinov's interests?
- Yes, I represent the interests of the Kazakhstan boxer Daniyar Yeleusinov as a manager at the moment.

- Is it known when Daniyar will sign his professional contract? Will he sign it at all?
- Now we are considering several proposals regarding the continuation of Daniyar's career in professional boxing. We negotiate with the promotional companies all the moments, all the nuances, there are quite a lot of different aspects.

- What Kazakhstan boxers do you still represent as a manager?
- In addition to Ivan Dychko and Daniyar Yeleusinov, I cooperate with Daniyar's brother, Dauren Eleusinov.

- Are there any plans to involve other Kazakhstanis who are now playing in the amateur ring?
- I have such plans. At the moment there is a list of boxers with whom I think we will start negotiations on cooperation in August.

- A preliminary agreement with any of them has already been achieved?
- No concrete proposal has been made yet, while we are closely monitoring the boxers.

- Do you continue to cooperate with the American manager Elvis Crespo?
"I have established working relations with him, and we are constantly in touch with him on certain working moments. And so, - each of us solves our tasks in the manager's work.

- Are you going to bring one of the boxers with whom you are cooperating for the evening of boxing at the EXPO in Astana?
- Now the main thing is their preparation for their fights. Ivan has already started training and will gradually gain his condition. Of course, we would like to participate in this evening of boxing, but here everything depends, first of all, on the preparedness of the boxers at that time.

- Now many boxing experts express the opinion that Kanat Islam needs to change the promoter in order to move faster to serious battles. What do you think about this?
- Kanat Islam is a very good athlete, and I'm sure that he will have serious fights ahead of him. James Kirkland is a very famous and serious rival, and if this fight takes place, I think this will be a significant advance of Kanat as a fighter. In general, the change of promoter in professional boxing - the procedure is quite heavy, not the same as it seems from the outside. Many throw their players directly into the fire of professional boxing, and athletes simply burn. And some approach this issue more thoroughly and consistently lead the boxer upward, to high meaningful fights. I think Kanat understands the process that is going on in the work of his promoters, and is quite pleased, knowing that ahead he will have significant fights. If the boxer has good relationship with promoter why leave?

Many fans of boxing, now live waiting for the fight Golovkin - Alvarez. Do you think Gennady will still be able to defeat the Mexican in this confrontation?
- This will, of course, be a grandiose battle, and the question of its winner sounds now all the time. Of course, I want Golovkin to win this fight, but it will not be easy for him to do it. The opinion is expressed that if Gennady does not win in the first six or seven rounds, then Alvarez will have the upper hand in the end - due to the fact that he is younger. I saw the last fight of Alvarez, and I note that in the fight against Chavez in the last rounds, he himself was quite tired and did not show anything at all. In this case, Chavez in that battle could not be called a formidable opponent. Therefore, I think, maybe not by knockout, but by the decision of the judges, but Gennady Golovkin in this battle will win.
