A lot of good has happened since my last fight. Je comprends. 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.

"(Dmitry) Bivol is at the head of the light heavyweight division, and I know he’s a strong guy,” Hackett noted. “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 (Southpaw)."

LOS ANGELES (Mars 20, 2024) -- Former World Boxing Organization Super Middleweight Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (45-1, 30 KOs) is fighting for his legacy, starting March 30e when he challenges undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Cruiserweight World title holder Arsen “Feroz” Goulamirian (21-0, 14 KOs) at You Tube Theater at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Californie. 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. Ramirez, 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, Californie. “Becoming the first Mexican-born cruiserweight world champion and two-division world champion is very important to me," a déclaré Ramírez. “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. Naturellement, 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, cependant, 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. Quand tout est dit et fait, my goal is to be a multi-division Champion and end my career as a heavyweight.” INFORMATIONS: Site Internet: www.ZurdoPromotions.comFacebook: /ZurdoPromotions, /GilbertoZurdoRamirezInstagram: @zurdoramirez, @zurdopromotionsTwitter: @ZurdoPromotions, @GilbertoZurdoRamirez ABOUT ZURDO PROMOTIONS: Headquartered in Las Vegas and Mexico, Zurdo Promotions is the premier combat sports/event led by former World Champion, Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez.

Zurdo Ramirez à la poursuite de son héritage 44-0 vs. Dominique Boesel
14 mai en streaming en direct sur DAZN |
LAS VEGAS (Avril 28, 2022) – Plutôt que d'attendre le vainqueur du May 7e Affrontement à Las Vegas entre la superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez et la World Boxing Association (WBA) Dimitry Bivol, champion des poids lourds super légers, ou prendre un combat sans signification, l'ancien champion du monde des super-moyens Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez mettra son impeccable 43-0 (39 KOs) enregistrer sur la ligne mai 14e contre l'Allemand Dominic Boesel (32-2, 12 KOs), l'Organisation internationale de boxe régnante (IBO) Détenteur du titre mondial des poids lourds légers et non WBA. 1 prétendante nominale.

Le vainqueur de leur événement principal en 12 rounds se positionnera pour un tir au Canelo vs. Vainqueur Bivol. "Boesel est le Non. 1 Poids lourd léger européen qui a toutes les distinctions pour en faire un combat difficile," a déclaré Ramírez. "Bien sûr, Buffle (WBC & Artur, champion IBF), Beterbiev et (Champion WBO Joe) Smith est toujours en haut de ma liste, mais ils étaient tous indisponibles. Même s'ils sont en haut de ma liste, je ne les attends pas, J'ai mon propre héritage à chasser. J'ai déjà dit, Beterbiev et Smith sont au mieux des combattants moyens, et ils savent ne pas mentionner mon nom. Bivol était sur le point de réussir (combat contre. Southpaw) arriver, mais il a eu l'opportunité de Canelo, donc je ne le blâme pas. Boesel, qui a combattu hors d'Europe, est 2-1 dans les combats pour le titre mondial IBO, perdre contre Robin Krasniqi, tandis que Zurdo est 6-0 combat dans les championnats du monde. Boesel est également un ancien intérimaire WBA, Champion d'Europe et du monde des poids légers de la jeunesse WBO.

Parce qu'il a été empêché de se battre pour la WBA, WBO, Titres mondiaux WBC ou IBF des poids lourds légers en ce moment, en raison de l'indisponibilité susmentionnée de Bivol, Beterbiev et Smith, Ramirez envisageait de défier officiellement le champion du monde WBC Cruiserweight Ilunga Junior Makabu (29-2, 25 KOs). Il n'en est jamais arrivé là, cependant, Zurdo prévoit de monter, mais seulement après s'être occupé des affaires en nettoyant la division des 175 livres.

La légende de Zurdo continue de grandir! INFORMATIONS:Site Internet: www.ZurdoPromotions.comInstagram: @zurdoramirez, @zurdopromotionsTwitter: @ZurdoPromotions, @GilbertoZurdoRamirez |

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez says Dmitry Bivol now has nowhere to run
LAS VEGAS (Novembre 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 KOs) has been matched against Yunieski “The Monster” Gonzalez (21-3, 17 KOs) en décembre 18 à 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," a déclaré Ramírez. “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.”
Buffle (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, bien que, 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 KOs), at either 168 ou 175 livres.
“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 nouveau, dans la boxe, 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. Avec ce combat (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. Malheureusement, 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, respectivement, are rated No. 3 et n. 4 par la WBA, and their 12-round main event will headline a Golden Boy-promoted card to be streamed live on DAZN.
