LAS VEGAS (พฤศจิกายน 17, 2021) – Frustrated by Dmitry Bivol’s silence, even after Team Zurdo and Golden Boy Promotions sent the World Boxing Association (อัลเบียน) Light Heavyweight World Super Champion a legitimate contract offer, Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez now has a clear path to his first World title shot in the light heavyweight division.
รามิเรซ (42-0, 28 คอส) has been matched against Yunieski “The Monster” Gonzalez (21-3, 17 คอส) ธันวาคม 18 ในซานอันโตนิโอ (เท็กซัส) in the official WBA Light Heavyweight Title Eliminator to determine Bivol’s mandatory challenger.
“I’m excited to end the year with this eliminator bout,” Ramirez said. “This is the path I’ve been planning for and I’m very humbled and honored to be in this position. The WBA is a great organization and I appreciate Mr. Gilberto Mendoza for allowing me to be in this position.”
ควาย (18-0, 11 คอส) expressed his desire to fight Ramirez before and after the latter knocked out Sullivan บาร์เรร่า (22-3, 14 คอส) this past this past July. Suddenly, แม้, Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearns claimed that Bivol would instead fight John Ryder next month in the United Kingdom, and then target WBA and WBC Super Middleweight Champion“Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 คอส), at either 168 หรือ 175 ปอนด์.
“I was surprised when Bivol turned down the fight we offered because it was something I thought he wanted. I know he’s a tough warrior and aspires to be the best, which is why I was surprised. He publicly called me out and sand that he was ‘ready.’ But unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case on his end. อีกครั้ง, ในมวย, this seems like a common scenario where a fighter barks and barks, but he can’t back it up when it’s time to fight. ด้วยการต่อสู้ครั้งนี้ (vs. อนซาเลซ) in place, Bivol has nowhere to run, and he will eventually have to face me.
“I’m not sure why Bivol thinks Canelo will face him in the near future. The probability of that happening within the next three fights is very, very low for him. เศร้า, I think he’s just the cannon fodder for this scenario.”
The first Mexican to capture the World super middleweight title, “Zurdo” has waited too long to risk his first World title opportunity in the 175-pound division to look past the dangerous Gonzalez’ (21-3, 17 คอส). Ramirez and Gonzalez, ตามลำดับ, are rated No. 3 และไม่มี. 4 โดยอัลเบียน, and their 12-round main event will headline a Golden Boy-promoted card to be streamed live on DAZN.
