The
31-year-old Fonfara announced that he is retiring from boxing, prompting him to
withdraw from the fight against Rodriguez on Wednesday.
“There
is no more enthusiasm and above all no more of the motivation and adrenaline
that gave me the desire to go into the ring and compete,” Fonfara said.
“I am healthy. Everything is okay. But I no longer have the heart for
boxing.”
Ramos
(23-3-2, 18 קאָס) has put together four technical knockout victories since
losing a hard-fought majority decision to welterweight contender Jamal James in
front of James’ hometown crowd in Minneapolis on April 13, 2018. The
27-year-old from Casa Grande, Arizona proved against James that he’s a
formidable opponent for anyone in the 147-pound division.
סאַנטאַנאַ
(25-6-1, 12 קאָס) needs an impressive victory over Ramos to remain a force in
the welterweight division. The 31-year-old Santana of Santa Barbara, California
is coming off a majority decision over the always-tough Felix Diaz and owns
victories over then unbeaten fighters Eddie Gomez and Kendal Mena.
