LOS ANGELES (Marzo 21, 2024) – Toronto’s undefeated World Boxing Association (AMB) Intercontinental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-0, 6 KOs) will make his first title defense March 30^º against Rowdy Legend Montgomery (10-5-1, 7 KOs) in a 10-round match on a Golden Boy Promotions card headlined by the WBA Cruiserweight World title fight between defending champion Arsen Goulimarian and Hackett’s stablemate, former world super middleweight champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez.

All the action will be streamed live on DAZN from YouTube Theater in Los Angeles.

Sin AMB. 13 world-rated Hackett captured his crown last September 20^º in Plant City, Florida, cuando dominó 4-1 favorite and previously undefeated Clay Waterman (11-0, 8 KOs) en route to a 10-round unanimous decision, in which he won all 10 rounds on two of the judges’’ scorecards and nine on the other judge’s.

“I would have liked to fight sooner but that’s the way this business goes,” Hackett said. “It’s harder to get fights after winning my title than it was. A lot of good has happened since my last fight. Entiendo. I have a title and I’m world ranked. I have a clearer path towards a world title shot. I appreciate any opportunity to get in the ring.”

“I’m getting more respect since I displayed my skills on ProBox.TV. (Announcers) Juan Manual Marguez, Paulie Malignaggi and Chris Algieri gave me a lot of props and that’s been very validating.”

Hackett has gained invaluable experience sparring world champions such as “Zurdo” Ramirez, Dmitry Bivol, Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin, Sergio Mora, Mathew Macklin and David Benavidez.

Hackett has already established firsts by a Toronto boxer in terms of fighting on a Golden Boy Promotions card and becoming WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight title holder.

“I’m a trailblazer for Toronto boxing,” promotional free agent Hackett explained with great pride. “I want to bring the first world title home, seguro, and one day the undisputed and unified titles, demasiado, Toronto is a big city with a lot of natural talent, but I don’t know why boxing hasn’t thrived there.”

Hackett is trained by fast-rising Julian Chua at Brickhouse Boxing Club in North Hollywood (TAL COMO) y gestionado por 3 Gestión de puntos (3 Primer ministro).

"(Dmitry) Bivol is at the head of the light heavyweight division, and I know he’s a strong guy,señaló Hackett. “We’ve changed some things since my last fight with the end in mind. We’ve tripled down, strength-wise, for when we run into him. That’s the main change. I feel that I’m the most agile fighter in our division and I’m working on getting stronger to match my skills and ring IQ.”

En 2024, Hackett wants to add hardware and fight a top-10 ranked opponent but, at least for now, he’s happy to be in his fight with Montgomery in his second home, Los Angeles.

“I love that this fight is in LA,” Hackett concluded. “I’m comfortable in Los Angeles. I feel at home here and fighting in other places in California. I’m also excited to be fighting on a card headlined by one of my closest friends in boxing (Zurdo)."

Gilberto “Zurdo” RamirezFighting for his legacy

LOS ANGELES (Marzo 20, 2024) -- Former World Boxing Organization Super Middleweight Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (45-1, 30 KOs) is fighting for his legacy, starting March 30^º when he challenges undefeated World Boxing Association (AMB) Cruiserweight World title holder Arsen “Feroz” Goulamirian (21-0, 14 KOs) at You Tube Theater at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California.

The 12-round Goulamirian vs. Zurdo main event headlines a strong card, promoted by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Y12 Boxing, which will be streamed live on DAZN.

Ramírez, 32, was the first Mexican boxer to capture a super middleweight world title and now he wants to duplicate that unprecedented feat against Goulamirian, the Armenian-born champion who lives in France and trains in Big Bear, California.

“Becoming the first Mexican-born cruiserweight world champion and two-division world champion is very important to me,"Ramírez dijo. “Legacy is the only thing we leave behind in this world, I was proud to be the first Mexican to be world super middleweight champion and I can’t wait to be the first again at cruiserweight.

“I’m still learning every day. Joe Smith was a tough task and I had to implement some new stuff to my style. And this fight is no different; every camp I try to add something new to enhance my chances of winning. I feel comfortable at this weight. Naturalmente, as I got older, it was tougher to make the weight and now everything seems to be easier. Like I always say, there’s no better teacher than experience in this life.”

Zurdo’s ultimate goal, sin embargo, is to become a three-division world champion, targeting the heavyweight division once he’s cleaned up the cruiserweight weight class.

“There are still a lot of fights that can be made in this division,” Zurdo explained. “I’d love to unify and/or become the undisputed Champion before I make the move up. When it’s all said and done, my goal is to be a multi-division Champion and end my career as a heavyweight.”

Mayo 4, 2022 FNU47 Deja un comentario

14 de mayo transmitiendo en vivo por DAZN

LAS VEGAS (Abril 28, 2022) – En lugar de esperar al ganador de mayo 7^º Enfrentamiento en Las Vegas entre la superestrella Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez y la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB) Campeón de peso súper semipesado Dimitry Bivol, o toma una pelea sin sentido para mantenerte ocupado, el excampeón mundial supermediano Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez pondrá su impecable 43-0 (39 KOs) registro en la línea de mayo 14^º contra el alemán Dominic Boesel (32-2, 12 KOs), la actual Organización Internacional de Boxeo (IBO) Poseedor del título mundial de peso semipesado y WBA No. 1 contendiente puntuación.

“Zurdo vs. Boesel,presentado por Golden Boy Promotions en asociación con Zurdo Promotions y SES Boxing, se transmitirá en vivo y exclusivamente en DAZN desde Toyota Arena en Ontario, California. El ganador de su evento principal de 12 asaltos se posicionará para una oportunidad en el Canelo vs.. ganador bivol.

“Boesel es el No. 1 Peso semipesado europeo que tiene todos los elogios para hacer de esta una pelea desafiante.,"Ramírez dijo. "Por supuesto, búfalo (CMB & Arturo, campeón de la FIB), Beterbiev y (campeón de la OMB Joe) Smith todavía están en la parte superior de mi lista, pero no estaban disponibles. A pesar de que están en la parte superior de mi lista, no los estoy esperando, Tengo mi propio legado que perseguir. he dicho antes, Beterbiev y Smith son luchadores promedio en el mejor de los casos, y saben que no mencionen mi nombre. Bivol estuvo cerca de hacerlo (pelea contra. Zurdo) suceder, pero tuvo la oportunidad de Canelo, así que no lo culpo”.

Boesel, que ha luchado fuera de Europa, es 2-1 en peleas por el título mundial IBO, perdiendo ante Robin Krasniqi, mientras el zurdo esta 6-0 peleando en campeonatos mundiales. Boesel también es un ex interino de la AMB., Campeón mundial de peso ligero europeo y juvenil de la OMB.

“Espero con ansias este desafío,” Zurdo added. “Él sabe que esta pelea puede cambiar su vida.. Soy el mejor semipesado del mundo., pero todavía necesito dar lo mejor de mí en la noche de la pelea.. Tendré una ventaja en la experiencia., pero no puedo tomarlo a la ligera porque, es un profesional de toda la vida que sabe cómo aprovechar el momento”.

Porque se le impidió pelear por la AMB, OMB, Títulos mundiales de peso semipesado del CMB o la FIB en este momento, debido a la citada falta de disponibilidad de Bivol, Beterbiev y Smith, Ramírez consideró desafiar formalmente al campeón mundial de peso crucero del CMB Ilunga Junior Makabu (29-2, 25 KOs). nunca llego a eso, sin embargo, Zurdo tiene planes de ascender, pero solo después de que se ocupa de limpiar la división de 175 libras.

“Todavía planeo subir al peso crucero y eventualmente al peso pesado.,” Zurdo offered. “Siempre ha sido mi objetivo ser un campeón mundial de 4 divisiones”.

La Leyenda del Zurdo sigue creciendo!

Zurdo y Hackett.jpg — (L-R) — Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez & Kareem Hackett

**LAS VEGAS (Febrero 2, 2022)** – El invicto prospecto de peso semipesado de Toronto Kareem Hackett (8-0, 7 KOs) ha firmado un contrato de gestión con 3 Gestión de puntos (3Primer ministro), que también gestiona 43-0 Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez, el ex campeón mundial de peso súper mediano, y hoy el contendiente mundial de peso semipesado mejor clasificado.

“Kareem es un gran talento que solo necesita una oportunidad.,"Ramírez dijo. “Ha sido un buen compañero de entrenamiento para mí en el pasado y me alegro de que pueda estar en el mismo establo que yo., 3 Gestión de puntos.”

En Canadá, Hackett participó en deportes de combate como kickboxing., Jiu-Jitsu, y boxeo. Tenía una 40-6 récord de boxeo aficionado, incluyendo un par de títulos de boxeo de Ringside International, además de ser coronado campeón nacional canadiense de kickboxing.

Ahora residente de Los Ángeles, donde Kareem entrena en Brickhouse Boxing Club, en el que “Zurdo” forma parte de su propiedad. Hackett es entrenado por el entrenador en jefe de Ramírez, Julián Chua.

"Conocí al 'Zurdo' a través de Julián,Hackett explicó. “Tenemos el mismo entrenador, Juliano. El sparring con el 'Zurdo' es genial. Después, siempre hablamos de boxeo. Tiene mucha experiencia y me ha enseñado muchas cosas diferentes.. También aumenta mi competitividad.. Trato de traer diferentes cosas que he aprendido de él a nuestro combate., y eso ha sido genial para mi.

“Trabajo con Julián; el esta aqui en los angeles. por la pandemia, se me ha complicado, así que no he estado yendo a casa un (Toronto) es mucho como solía o quiero. Estamos súper mimados en Brickhouse. Crecí en un gimnasio clásico., y yo estaba acostumbrado a su suciedad. No puedo creer lo agradable que es Brickhouse”.

“Kareem es un luchador muy hábil que ha estado fuera del radar demasiado tiempo.,Chua remarcó. “Es uno de los mejores estrategas en el ring que he visto. Comenzamos su carrera profesional juntos y hemos construido un vínculo de hermanos.. Él sabe que puede confiar en mis ojos en la esquina como yo puedo confiar en sus habilidades en el ring”.

Hackett, 31, es un zurdo de Toronto, quien ha aprendido de sesiones de sparring con campeones mundiales de boxeo como “Zurdo,Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin, Sergio Mora, Mateo Macklin, David Benavidez, y Dmitry Bivol. El compañero estable de Hackett en 3PM, “Zurdo” Ramirez, es el retador obligatorio de Bivol, la actual Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB) Luz campeón pesado del mundo.

“Lo que más he aprendido al hacer sparring con todos estos campeones mundiales es, a diferencia de muchos muchachos que creen que necesitan noquear a su oponente en una ronda,señaló Hackett, “No es una pelea de una sola ronda y podría durar tanto como 12 rondas. He aprendido estrategia a largo plazo.. El boxeo se parece más a una mentalidad de maratón que a una carrera de velocidad”.

En su acción más reciente, Hackett se detuvo 2-0 Giovanni Lizarraga Garate en la mitad de la primera ronda en abril pasado en México.
Se describe a sí mismo como usando un estilo de violencia estratégica, Hackett es inteligente, elusivo, preciso, y oportunista. Suena como si estuviera describiendo "Zurdo". “Tenemos el mismo entrenador,Hackett añadió.

Los goles de Hackett en 2022 incluye noquear a cada oponente que enfrenta, así como la captura de EE.UU.. o títulos regionales canadienses. Su primera pelea de 2022 se fija tentativamente para febrero 17 en Texas contra un oponente por determinar.

“Kareem es inteligente, luchador inteligente con un físico dotado para ser una fuerza en este juego,Ramírez concluyó.

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez fights back against Dmitry Bivol’s claim of turning down a title fight

Febrero 1, 2022 FNU47 Deja un comentario

LAS VEGAS (Enero 31, 2022) – Back in December, right after Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (43-0, 29 KOs) stopped Yunieski Gonzalez to become the mandatory challenger for World Boxing Association (AMB) Light Heavyweight World Super Champion Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs) who suddenly and surprisingly went dark, until he recently make an unsubstantiated claim that “Zurdo” had turned down an offer to fight him.

Bivol was quoted in a recent boxing news report, which was also picked up by other media outlets, diciendo, “I know for a fact that my team did offer Team Ramirez to fight me December 11^º En Rusia, and the purse offered was about the same as what I was offered to fight him on a (Golden Boy Promotions) show. He rejected the offer.”

“I don’t know why he’s saying they offered a fight to me,” Ramirez countered, “but he must be really confused. To be clear there was never a contract that was sent to my team or Golden Boy for a fight; unlike how a contract was delivered to him and his team from Golden Boy for the December bout. I’m confused why he continues to be a pawn and create false narratives and tries everything to hide from this fight. It’s just a matter of time before that belt comes to where it belongs.”

Ramírez, the first Mexican to capture the World super middleweight title, es una antigua Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) Campeón, who earned his title shot against Bivol by winning his WBA Title Eliminator versus Gonzalez.

“After Bivol, Joe Smith is my next target since he has my belt (OMB) that I had at 168 libra,” Ramirez remarked. “I am the best light heavyweight out there and it’s not even close. There’s a reason why these champs are scared to call my name, but soon they won’t have a choice. I would end Smith in less than 6 rondas ".

Bivol also said in the aforementioned story: “My motivation and my ambitions have not changed for a long time – I want to fight the best. I want to prove that I am the best in my division.”

Guess what, Dmitry, 43-0 “Zurdo” is the best!

Meet Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez protégé Undefeated bantamweight prospect John “Scrappy” Ramirez

Enero 14, 2022 FNU47 Deja un comentario

Team Scrappy.jpg — (L-R) – Arrion Jafari, Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez, David Suh, and John “Scrappy” Ramirez

**LOS ANGELES (Enero 12, 2022)** – Undefeated bantamweight prospect John “Scrappy” Ramirez (8-0, 7 KOs), the second boxer signed to 3 Gestión de puntos (3Primer ministro) que también gestiona 43-0 Gilberto “Zurdo” Promotions, was arguably the most active boxer in the United States in 2021 with seven professional fights, including three on high-profile platforms headlined by “Zurdo,” the former World Super Middleweight Champion, y hoy el contendiente mundial de peso semipesado mejor clasificado.

“’Scrappy’ is a hard-working kid that I’ve known for a while now and it’s great to have him around,” Zurdo commented. ”He brings a larger-than-life personality, and his flare is often well-received. I believe if he continues to work hard and stays in the gym, el cielo es el limite. We know he’s a true athlete and I would put him against anyone in the bantamweight division.”

“Scrappy” made his pro debut December 18, 2020, on a pay-per-view event promoted and headlined by “Zurdo.” Two fights later, “Scrappy” fought in his first scheduled 6-rounder, in addition to a slated 8-round bout in only his sixth pro fight.

“Scrappy” and “Zurdo” are not related, sin embargo, they’re close and as the 25-year-old John explained, “With us it’s little bro and big bro. He may not be working my corner, usually because he’s fighting later on the same card, but I’m with him every day we’re training at Brickhouse (Boxeo), and he’s always giving me tips and support. I live in downtown Los Angeles only a 15-minute drive from the gym in North Hollywood. It has it all and the real beauty of it is that it attracts fighters to spar and train with, especially when fighters are there for their training camp. We just had ‘Zurdo,’ David Benavidez, and 4-time world champion Brian Viloria, who is there as a trainer, for our last fight.

‘I feel good knowing I was the second fighter signed by 3 Gestión de puntos. Ahora, we have other fighters in our stable and that brings more competition. I want to be the best and, even though we’re on the same team, I want to go out there and do what it takes to be the best fighter I can be. I’m with ‘Zurdo” every day I’m in the gym and I watch him. He makes everything look easy, effortless, and that’s beautiful. He put his trust in me and I want to show him it was a good decision. I take great pride in being the first fighter they signed.”’

Ramirez’ long, arduous journey to this point started on the gridiron not in a ring, when he was a key member of the Lincoln High football team, profiled in a 2015 documental, “ESPN 60: Letterman.” The players were from a crime-ridden part of Hollywood that was riddled with drugs and guns. Ramirez was a 5’ 4”, 160-pound running back on a team that, starting in Pop Warner competition, then advancing to Lincoln High, which hadn’t experienced success in football. Lincoln High went on to become a 3-time league champion, highlighted by semifinals playoff appearance in his senior year, eventually leading “Scrappy” to a roster spot Los Angeles Valley College’s football team.

Despite being warned he’d be red-shirted as a freshman, Ramirez played on the varsity as a true freshman but, after his first season, “Scrappy” wasn’t happy with his playing time nor the business side of college football. “Scrappy” soon found himself in what he described as a “dark place” for months, trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. He tried to enlist in all four military branches, but was rejected because, él dijo, due to all the tattoos on his body and their visual placements. Un día, he heard a friend’s voice from the past saying, ‘Go to a gym.’ Despite having no experience in boxing, he walked into the famed Wild Card Gym to speak with Hall of Fame trainer, owner Freddie Roach, who told Ramirez training would be hard and that he’d need to start as an amateur boxer. His work ethic was admirable and because he was a gifted athlete, everything soon clicked, and he became a student of boxing. Ramirez had 25 partidos de aficionados, capturing top honors in the Sugar Bert National Championships, as well as in the regional Golden Gloves and SoCal tournaments.

“I was on the right track,Ramírez agregó. “Everything I learned in football from Coach Muskaki Matsumoto (Lincoln High) I applied in boxing like discipline. I trained hard every day and there was no wasted time.”

Ramirez moved to New York City because a boxing friend of his had a manager there willing to help “Scrappy” make his pro debut. Desafortunadamente, aunque, the pandemic quarantine went into effect, canceling his scheduled pro debut only one week prior to its scheduled date. Ramirez stayed in Churchill Gym, sparring and training, still hopeful of making his pro debut in the Big Apple. He eventually returned to Los Angeles and several weeks before the inaugural Zurdo Promotions event in Galveston, Texas, he received what is now a life-changing call from Zurdo’s manager, David Suh.

“Before I went to New York City, I had talked to David about making my pro debut,Ramírez agregó. “He remembered when I came back to LA and asked if I wanted to make my pro debut on December 18^º (2020). I believe everything happens for a reason. I had become friends with Julian Chua at Wild Card. He saw me working at the gym and liked my work ethic. He gave me pointers and told me that one day we’d be working together. Julian became Zurdo’s head trainer and now he’s mine, también."

His impressive pro-debut performance – first-round KO — led to enticing “Scrappy” into signing a managerial contract with 3 Gestión de puntos.

“Scrappy” says he’s an exciting, unique fighter from his ring walk to his outfit, as well as the way he fights. “I bring Bad Intentions into the ring,”, Agregó. “It’s fun! I’m a chess player who always plans ahead. I’m versatile and able to adapt in the ring, which is super important. I want to take your soul!"

“’Scrappy’ not only has the skills,” Chua added, “he has the charisma and showmanship it takes to be a real star in this sport. Don’t confuse confidence with arrogance. He takes his training with a world championship attitude.”

A self-proclaimed student of boxing, “Scrappy” has particular enjoyed watching and studying Hector Camacho, Edwin Valero, Adrien Broner, Canelo Alvarez, Gervonta Davis, Vasyl Lomachenko, y, por supuesto, “Zurdo” Ramirez.

“I am destined,Ramírez concluyó. “I’ve seen all this. I visualized, planned, and created these experiences before they happened. I was one of the most active fighters in the nation last year. Mi objetivo para 2022 is to stay busy, keep learning, and make statements. I’d like to have 6 more fights, get ranked, and bring home a championship belt. I will keep winning and give people a show.

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez says Dmitry Bivol now has nowhere to run

Noviembre 18, 2021 FNU47 Deja un comentario

LAS VEGAS (Noviembre 17, 2021) – Frustrated by Dmitry Bivol’s silence, even after Team Zurdo and Golden Boy Promotions sent the World Boxing Association (AMB) 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.

Ramírez (42-0, 28 KOs) has been matched against Yunieski “The Monster” Gonzalez (21-3, 17 KOs) en diciembre 18 en 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,"Ramírez dijo. “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.”

búfalo (18-0, 11 KOs) expressed his desire to fight Ramirez before and after the latter knocked out Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs) this past this past July. Suddenly, aunque, 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“Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs), at either 168 o 175 libra.

“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. De nuevo, en el boxeo, 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. Con esta lucha (vs. González) 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. Tristemente, 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 KOs). Ramirez and Gonzalez, respectivamente, are rated No. 3 y n. 4 por la AMB, and their 12-round main event will headline a Golden Boy-promoted card to be streamed live on DAZN.
