Kareem Hackett (R)(Foto krediet: Cris Esquida/15:00) LOS ANGELES (Maart 21, 2024) – Toronto se onoorwonne Wêreldboksvereniging (WBA) Interkontinentale Ligswaargewig Kampioen Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-0, 6 Uitklophoue) sal sy eerste titelverdediging Maart maak 30ste teen Rowdy Legend Montgomery (10-5-1, 7 Uitklophoue) in 'n 10-ronde-wedstryd op 'n Golden Boy Promotions-kaart met die hoof van die WBA Cruiserweight World-titelgeveg tussen die verdedigende kampioen Arsen Goulimarian en Hackett se stalmaat, voormalige wêreld-supermiddelgewigkampioen Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez. Al die aksie sal regstreeks op DAZN vanaf YouTube-teater in Los Angeles gestroom word. WBA No. 13 wêreldgegradeerde Hackett het verlede September sy kroon verower 20ste in Plant City, Florida, toe hy oorheers 4-1 gunsteling en voorheen onoorwonne Clay Waterman (11-0, 8 Uitklophoue) op pad na 'n 10-ronde eenparige besluit, waarin hy alles gewen het 10 rondes op twee van die beoordelaars se telkaarte en nege op die ander beoordelaar s'n. “Ek sou graag vroeër wou baklei, maar dit is hoe hierdie besigheid gaan,"Hackett het gesê. “Dit is moeiliker om gevegte te kry nadat ek my titel gewen het as wat dit was. Baie goed het gebeur sedert my laaste geveg. Ek verstaan. Ek het 'n titel en ek is op die wêreldranglys. Ek het 'n duideliker pad na 'n wêreldtitelskoot. Ek waardeer enige geleentheid om in die ring te kom.” “Ek kry meer respek sedert ek my vaardighede op ProBox.TV vertoon het. (Omroepers) Juan Manual Marguez, Paulie Malignaggi en Chris Algieri het vir my baie rekwisiete gegee en dit was baie bekragtig.” Hackett het onskatbare ervaring opgedoen om wêreldkampioene soos "Zurdo" Ramirez te spartel, Dmitri Bivol, Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin, Sergio Mora, Mathew Macklin en David Benavidez. Hackett het reeds eerstes gevestig deur 'n Toronto-bokser in terme van veg op 'n Golden Boy Promotions-kaart en om WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight titelhouer te word. "Ek is 'n voorloper vir Toronto-boks,” promosie gratis agent Hackett het met groot trots verduidelik. “Ek wil die eerste wêreldtitel huis toe bring, vir seker, en eendag die onbetwiste en verenigde titels, te, Toronto is 'n groot stad met baie natuurlike talent, maar ek weet nie hoekom boks nie daar gefloreer het nie.” Hackett word opgelei deur die vinnig opkomende Julian Chua by Brickhouse Boxing Club in Noord-Hollywood (SOOS) en bestuur word deur 3 Puntbestuur (3 PM). "(Dmitri) Bivol is aan die hoof van die ligswaargewig-afdeling, en ek weet hy is 'n sterk ou,” het Hackett opgemerk. “Ons het ’n paar dinge verander sedert my laaste geveg met die einde in gedagte. Ons het verdriedubbel, sterkte-gewys, want wanneer ons hom raakloop. Dit is die belangrikste verandering. Ek voel dat ek die mees ratse vegter in ons afdeling is en ek werk daaraan om sterker te word om my vaardighede en ring-IK te pas.” In 2024, Hackett wil hardeware byvoeg en 'n top-10 teenstander beveg, maar, ten minste vir nou, hy is bly om in sy tweede huis in sy stryd met Montgomery te wees, Los Angeles. “Ek is mal daaroor dat hierdie geveg in LA is,” het Hackett afgesluit. “Ek is gemaklik in Los Angeles. Ek voel tuis hier en baklei op ander plekke in Kalifornië. Ek is ook opgewonde om te baklei op 'n kaart wat deur een van my naaste vriende in boks opskrif is (Hotklou)."

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez Veg vir sy nalatenskap
Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez Veg vir sy nalatenskap |
LOS ANGELES (Maart 20, 2024) -- Die voormalige Wêreldboksorganisasie, Super-middelgewigkampioen Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (45-1, 30 Uitklophoue) veg vir sy nalatenskap, begin Maart 30ste wanneer hy die onoorwonne Wêreldboksvereniging uitdaag (WBA) Cruiserweight-wêreldtitelhouer Arsen “Feroz” Goulamirian (21-0, 14 Uitklophoue) by You Tube-teater by Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Kalifornië. Die 12-ronde Goulamirian vs. Zurdo hoofgebeurtenis gee 'n sterk kaart, bevorder deur Golden Boy Promotions in samewerking met Y12 Boxing, wat regstreeks op DAZN gestroom sal word. Ramirez, 32, was die eerste Mexikaanse bokser wat 'n supermiddelgewig-wêreldtitel verower het en nou wil hy daardie ongekende prestasie teen Goulamirian dupliseer, die Armeens-gebore kampioen wat in Frankryk woon en in Big Bear oefen, Kalifornië. “Om die eerste Meksikaans-gebore kruisgewig-wêreldkampioen en twee-afdeling wêreldkampioen te word, is vir my baie belangrik,” het Ramirez gesê. “Nalatenskap is die enigste ding wat ons in hierdie wêreld agterlaat, Ek was trots om die eerste Mexikaan te wees wat wêreld-supermiddelgewigkampioen was en ek kan nie wag om weer die eerste by cruiserweight te wees nie. “Ek leer nog elke dag. Joe Smith was 'n moeilike taak en ek moes 'n paar nuwe goed in my styl implementeer. En hierdie stryd is nie anders nie; elke kamp probeer ek iets nuuts byvoeg om my kanse om te wen te verbeter. Ek voel gemaklik met hierdie gewig. Natuurlik, soos ek ouer geword het, dit was moeiliker om die gewig te maak en nou blyk alles makliker te wees. Soos ek altyd sê, daar is geen beter onderwyser as ervaring in hierdie lewe nie.” Zurdo se uiteindelike doelwit, egter, is om 'n drie-afdeling wêreldkampioen te word, die swaargewigafdeling teiken sodra hy die kruisgewig-gewigklas skoongemaak het. “Daar is nog baie gevegte wat in hierdie afdeling gemaak kan word,” het Zurdo verduidelik. “Ek wil graag verenig en/of die onbetwiste kampioen word voordat ek die skuif maak. As dit alles gesê en gedoen word, my doelwit is om ’n multi-afdeling-kampioen te wees en my loopbaan as ’n swaargewig te beëindig.” INLIGTING: Webwerf: www.ZurdoPromotions.comFacebook: /ZurdoPromotions, /GilbertoZurdoRamirez Instagram: @zurdoramirez, @zurdopromotionsTwitter: @ZurdoPromotions, @GilbertoZurdoRamirez OOR ZURDO PROMOSIES: Hoofkwartier in Las Vegas en Mexiko, Zurdo Promotions is die voorste gevegsport/geleentheid wat deur voormalige Wêreldkampioen gelei word, Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez.

Zurdo Ramirez chasing his legacy Fighting for 44-0 vs. Dominic Boesel
May 14th streaming live on DAZN |
LAS VEGAS (April 28, 2022) – Rather than wait for the winner of the May 7ste Las 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 Uitklophoue) record on the line May 14ste versus German Dominic Boesel (32-2, 12 Uitklophoue), the reigning International Boxing Organization (IBO) Light Heavyweight World title holder and WBA No. 1 gegradeerde aanspraakmaker. “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, Kalifornië. 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,” het Ramirez gesê. “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. Hotklou) happen, but he got the Canelo opportunity, so I don’t blame him.” Boesel, who has fought outside of Europe, is 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 Uitklophoue). It never came to that, egter, 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.” The Legend of Zurdo continues to grow!

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez says Dmitry Bivol now has nowhere to run
LAS VEGAS (November 17, 2021) – Frustrated by Dmitry Bivol’s silence, even after Team Zurdo and Golden Boy Promotions sent the World Boxing Association (WBA) 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.
Ramirez (42-0, 28 Uitklophoue) has been matched against Yunieski “The Monster” Gonzalez (21-3, 17 Uitklophoue) Desember 18 in San Antonio (TX) 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,” het Ramirez gesê. “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.”
Bivol (18-0, 11 Uitklophoue) expressed his desire to fight Ramirez before and after the latter knocked out Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 Uitklophoue) this past this past July. Suddenly, al, 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 Uitklophoue), at either 168 of 175 pond.
“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. Weer, in die boks, 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. Met hierdie stryd (vs. Gonzalez) 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. Ongelukkig, 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 Uitklophoue). Ramirez and Gonzalez, onderskeidelik, are rated No. 3 en Geen. 4 deur die WBA, and their 12-round main event will headline a Golden Boy-promoted card to be streamed live on DAZN.
