LAS VEGAS (Abril 28, 2022) – Rather than wait for the winner of the May 7thLas Vegas showdown between superstar Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight Champion Dimitry Bivol, or take a meaningless stay-busy fight, former World Super Middleweight Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez will put his impeccable 43-0 (39 KOs) record on the line May 14thversus German Dominic Boesel (32-2, 12 KOs), the reigning International Boxing Organization (IBO) Light Heavyweight World title holder and WBA No. 1 contendor classificado.
“Zurdo vs. Boesel,” presented by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Zurdo Promotions and SES Boxing, will stream live and exclusively on DAZN from Toyota Arena in Ontario, Califórnia. The winner of their 12-round main event will position himself for a shot at the Canelo vs. Bivol winner.
“Boesel is the No. 1 European light heavyweight who has all the accolades to make this a challenging fight,”Ramirez disse. “Of course, Bivol (WBC & IBF champion Artur), Beterbiev and (WBO champion Joe) Smith are still at the top of my list, but they were all unavailable. Even though they are on the top of my list, I’m not waiting for them, I’ve got my own legacy to chase. I’ve said before, Beterbiev and Smith are average fighters at best, and they know not to mention my name. Bivol was close to making it (fight vs. Southpaw) happen, but he got the Canelo opportunity, so I don’t blame him.”
Boesel, who has fought outside of Europe, é 2-1 in IBO world title fights, losing to Robin Krasniqi, while Zurdo is 6-0 fighting in world championships. Boesel is also a former WBA Interim, European and WBO Youth World lightweight champion.
“I’m looking forward to this challenge,” Zurdo added. “He knows this fight can change his life. I’m the best light heavyweight in the world, but I still need to bring my best come fight night. I will have an advantage in experience, but I can’t take him lightly because, he’s a longtime pro who knows how to take advantage of the moment.”
Because he was blocked from fighting for the WBA, WBO, WBC or IBF light heavyweight world titles right now, due to the aforementioned unavailability of Bivol, Beterbiev and Smith, Ramirez considered formally challenging WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Ilunga Junior Makabu (29-2, 25 KOs). It never came to that, contudo, Zurdo does plan to move up, but only after he takes care of business clearing out the 175-pound division.
“I still plan on moving up to cruiserweight and eventually heavyweight,” Zurdo offered. “It’s always been my goal to be a 4-division world champion.”
Super Welterweight Contender Gausha Faces Unbeaten Rising Star Tim Tszyu in SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®
Evento Principal sábado, Março 26 from The Armory in Minneapolis
LOS ANGELES – March 17, 2022 - U.S. Olympian and super welterweight contenderTerrell Gaushais confident that he’ll be spoiling the stateside debut of unbeaten rising starTim Tszyuwhen they square off on Saturday, Março 26 vivo no canal Showtime®headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Armory in Minneapolis.
“We’ve been working on some different things for this fight,” said Gausha. “We’re going to give Tim Tszyu a different look than he’s seen before. Compared to most of the fights that everyone has seen, they’re going to see something new from me on March 26.”
Tszyu, the son of Hall of Fame fighter Kostya Tszyu, will be making his much-anticipated debut in the U.S. against Gausha, after dominating his first 20 fights in his native Australia. For the Cleveland native Gausha, his motivation comes from within and not from the hype surrounding Tszyu entering this matchup.
“I’m just motivated period,” said Gausha. “It’s got nothing to do with any hype around Tszyu. It has everything to do with where I’m at in my life and my career. Things are happening at the right time for me. I’m in a good place. This is the perfect fight for me at this point in my career.
“I appreciate him for taking this challenge. Most other fighters would try to protect their record. This shows that he believes in himself. He wants the tough fights. Dito, I think he took the wrong fight.”
Gausha scored an impressive knockout over young contender Jamontay Clark in his last fight, stopping his opponent in round two in March 2021, and will look to build on that triumph against a bigger name in Tszyu.
“That was a good fight for me against Clark,” said Gausha. “I wanted to get right back in the ring, but sometimes it’s hard to make fights with certain guys. I have a great opportunity against Tszyu and I’m looking to capitalize and build off of my last performance. I’m going to make an even bigger splash in this fight.”
Training in Los Angeles with Manny Robles and Prenice Brewer, Gausha has received excellent sparring leading up to fight night, having shared the ring with 154-pound champion Brian Castaño, welterweight contender Vergil Ortiz and 2020 U.S. Olympian Delante Johnson. While Gausha expects Tszyu to display his typical come forward style, he plans to be ready for anything that his opponent presents.
“I expect Tim to try to bring pressure and come forward,” said Gausha. “He’s a one-trick pony. What you see is what you get. He doesn’t do too many things spectacularly, but what he does do well, he does it very well, and that’s bring the pressure. We have something ready for that and we’re going to do our thing no matter what he tries to do.”
Gausha previously challenged for the 154-pound world title in losing a 2017 decision against Erislandy Lara and also owns a decision defeat to Erickson Lubin and a draw against former champion Austin Trout. Agora, Gausha will look to catapult himself right back into the title picture with a victory on March 26.
“After everyone sees this performance on March 26, they’re going to know where I fit into this division,” said Gausha. “I’ve got a job to do. Agora, I’m really just starting to show people my skills and what I can do. This is going to solidify that. I’m knocking on the door of a title fight right now. A win over Tszyu would be great for my career and get me to the world titles.”

“One of the year’s biggest events will feature a deserving pay-per-view undercard lineup loaded with consequential matchups that are primed to deliver drama and action,”Disse Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “Isaac Cruz showed against Gervonta Davis that he is a star in the making, and he’ll be looking to display those talents once again against an accomplished opponent in Yuriorkis Gamboa. Mais, another rising star in Jose Valenzuela will step up in competition against former champion Francisco Vargas, while Cody Crowley and Josesito Lopez will both bring their high-octane styles into the ring in what shapes up to be a ‘can’t-miss’ showdown to open the loaded SHOWTIME PPV.”
The 23-year-old Cruz (22-2-1, 15 KOs) will return to the ring after dropping a competitive decision against three-division champion Gervonta Davis on SHOWTIME PPV in December. A native of Mexico City, Cruz shot up the lightweight rankings in 2020, announcing his presence with an electrifying first-round knockout over veteran Diego Magdaleno in October. Cruz followed that up in 2021 by winning a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Matías Romero in March and by defeating former champion Francisco Vargas by decision in June. After making his U.S. estréia em dezembro 2019, Cruz went unbeaten in his next four bouts, appearing on SHOWTIME®three times in addition to beating Magdaleno on the Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz SHOWTIME PPV undercard.
“I can’t wait to be back in the ring and to fight at AT&T Stadium,", Disse Cruz. “I love the fans in Texas, they always give me tremendous support. Meu promotor, Manny Pacquiao, has fought at AT&T Stadium before and won both times. I’m excited to follow in his footsteps against a very accomplished former champion in Gamboa. I’m coming to show the fans why I’m one of the best lightweights in the world and to drive Gamboa into retirement on April 16.”
Gamboa (30-4, 18 KOs) is a former unified featherweight champion, holding the IBF and WBA 126-pound titles between 2009 e 2011. A native of Guantanamo, Cuba, he now lives and trains in Miami, Fla. He dropped a showdown against Terence Crawford in a 2014 Luta do Ano, before rebounding to win seven of eight fights. That run included victories over former world champions Jason Sosa and Roman Martinez, putting Gamboa back into world title contention. In his last two fights, Gamboa has dropped contests against current lightweight world champions, losing via 12th-round TKO to Gervonta Davis in 2019 and by decision against Devin Haney in November 2020.
“I always come to the ring to display my talents and April 16 não será diferente,” said Gamboa. “It’s very motivating to be facing a young, strong opponent like Isaac Cruz. I’m going to test him and see if he can stand up to my power. I’m coming to win and make a big statement that I still have what it takes to become champion again.”
The 22-year-old Valenzuela (11-0, 7 KOs) now trains as a stablemate of unbeaten two-time world champion David Benavidez as he seeks to move from prospect to contender in 2022. Born in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, México, Valenzuela turned pro in 2018 and rode a five-bout knockout streak before earning his first 10-round decision in a victory over Deiner Berrio in September 2021. Valenzuela capped off his breakout 2021 em dezembro, dominating Austin Dulay on his way to a TKO in round four.
“It’s a dream come true to be on a high-stakes, stacked card like this,” said Valenzuela. “I’ve admired and studied Spence for a long time, especially because we’re both lefties. I can’t wait to get in the ring. I’m not overlooking or underestimating Francisco Vargas in any way. I’m expecting fireworks. You always get a big fight when two Mexican warriors go head-to-head, so I know the fans are going to be delighted with what they see on April 16.”
Fighting out of Mexico City, Vargas (27-3-2, 19 KOs) won a 130-pound title in 2015 by defeating Takashi Miura in one of the year’s best fights. The 37-year-old would go on to fight Orlando Salido to an action-packed draw before losing his title to Miguel Berchelt in another memorable affair. Vargas later defeated Stephen Smith and Rod Salka before losing in his rematch with Berchelt in 2019. Mais recentemente, Vargas began campaigning at lightweight, scoring back-to-back victories over Ezequiel Aviles in 2019 and Otto Gamez in 2020, prior to dropping a decision against Isaac Cruz in his last fight in June 2021.
“It is an honor to be on such a big card with so many great fighters,” said Vargas. “I’m going to come prepared for this fight and ready to leave the ring with a victory. I know Valenzuela will be trying to make a statement, but I’m coming to do the same. Como sempre, the fans can expect a tremendous fight from start to finish.”
Representing his native Ontario, Canadá, Crowley (20-0, 9 KOs) returns to the ring after a sensational SHOWTIME debut in December 2021 that saw him beat the previously unbeatenKudratillo Abdukakhorov by unanimous decision. Crowley had previously defeated Josh Torres in September 2020 Depois de uma 2019 run that saw him win a Canadian super welterweight title with a 12-round decision over Stuart McLellan in February before successfully defending that title with a dominant decision over Mian Hussain in October. The 28-year-old returned to fight in the U.S. for his last two fights after seven of his first eight pro fights took place in the U.S.
“After my win in December on SHOWTIME, I’m ready to accept the next challenge on my journey to becoming welterweight champion of the world,” said Crowley. “Josesito Lopez is always tough and he brings an exciting style to the table. Unfortunately for him, he will discover what 20 fighters before him have learned, which is that I will not be stopped from achieving my destiny. I want to thank my team for this opportunity to display my skills, heart and relentlessness on this great card at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.”
Lopez (38-8, 21 KOs) earned the nickname “The Riverside Rocky’’ because of his go-for-broke style in the ring. He has stepped in across from some of the top boxers in the sport, including champions Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana, Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz. The 37-year-old from Riverside, California is always a tough out in the ring as noted by his narrow majority decision loss to then-champion Keith Thurman in 2019. Since that loss, Lopez has put together back-to-back victories, defeating John Molina, Jr. and Francisco Santana.
“I’m eager and very motivated to step back in the ring and prove myself as one of the best fighters in the world,", Disse Lopez. “I expect a stiff challenge from Crowley and the fans can expect to see me at my very best. I’m in great shape and ready to put everything on the line. You will definitely want to make sure you don’t miss my fight on April 16.”
LOS ANGELES (Março 17, 2022) – Prospecto invicto do peso-galo de Los Angeles John “Scrappy” Ramirez (8-0, 7 KOs) volta aos ringues neste sábado (Mar. 19) para enfrentar Roberto “Escorpion” Pucheta (10-20-3, 10 KOs), de México, em uma luta de 6 rounds no card Blair Cobbs-Alexis Rocha (substituindo Vergil Ortiz, Jr.-Michael McKinson), apresentado por Golden Boy Promotions.
O card principal será transmitido ao vivo no DAZN do USC Galen Center em Los Angeles; vá para a página do YouTube do Golden Boy para assistir o Ramirez vs. Transmissão ao vivo de Pucheta.
Ramirez é uma lenda do esporte no centro da cidade de LA. Sua jornada começou no gridiron, não em um anel, quando ele era um membro-chave do time de futebol Lincoln High, perfilado em um 2015 documentário, “ESPN 60: Letreiro.” Os jogadores eram de uma seção cheia de crimes de Hollywood, repleta de drogas e armas. Ramirez era um 5’ 4”, 160-libra correndo de volta em uma equipe que, começando na competição Pop Warner, e avançou para Lincoln High, que não teve sucesso no futebol. Lincoln High tornou-se tricampeão da liga, destacado por sua aparição nas semifinais em seu último ano, que acabou levando "Scrappy" a um lugar no elenco do time de futebol do Los Angeles Valley College.
“O local fica a apenas cinco minutos de carro da minha casa,” um Ramirez animado disse. “Eu literalmente passo por ele todos os dias. Eu cresci perto da USC e joguei futebol lá. Agora, Estou lutando no centro da cidade onde cresci. Isso é muito droga! Meu sonho é lutar no Staples Center, que é apenas uma viagem de três minutos para mim. estou me aproximando.
“Coisas assim não acontecem por acaso. Em março 18th, Vou mostrar minhas habilidades na frente do meu povo. LA é a Cidade dos Campeões, mas não temos um campeão mundial de boxe desde Oscar de la Hoya, que cresceu no leste de LA. Meu objetivo é ser o próximo campeão de LA.”
“Descascado,” que foi um dos lutadores mais ativos do 2021 com sete lutas, fez a transição com sucesso do futebol para o boxe, embora uma carreira de boxe amador relativamente curta com apenas 25 partidas amadoras. Ele ganhou as principais honras no Campeonato Nacional Sugar Bert, bem como nos torneios regionais Golden Gloves e SoCal.
“Eu lutei pela última vez em dezembro 18th, tirou uma semana de folga, e voltou direto para o campo de treinamento no Brickhouse Boxing Club (N. Hollywood),”, acrescentou Ramirez, de 26 anos.. “Estou melhorando e isso é super empolgante para mim. Eu estive com meu treinador de força e condicionamento, encontro, e trabalhando em minhas habilidades de boxe. Meu treino não parou, vai com força total”.
Pucheta foi parado apenas uma vez em 33 lutas profissionais, de volta 2016 por Emanuel Navarrete, a atual Organização Mundial de Boxe (WBO) Super Campeão Peso Galo, quem pratica um 35-1 (29 KOs) registro profissional.
“Ele é duro, oponente durável,” Ramírez observou, “que esteve no ringue com muitas boas perspectivas. Esta é uma grande oportunidade para eu fazer uma declaração, tornando-me apenas o segundo a nocauteá-lo.”
Ritmo acelerado e desenvolvimento de Ramirez continua neste sábado, quando será "Scrappy Time" mais uma vez, só que desta vez em casa.
“Quero estar no topo e vou,", concluiu. “Toda luta me eleva. Meu objetivo é ser Não. 1 na minha categoria de peso, e eu vou chegar lá por causa do meu trabalho duro e dedicação.”
