Kareem Hackett (R)(Photo credit: Cris Esquida/3PM) LOS ANGELES (Marzo 21, 2024) – Toronto’s undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Intercontinental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-0, 6 KO) will make his first title defense March 30th against Rowdy Legend Montgomery (10-5-1, 7 KO) 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. Numero WBA. 13 world-rated Hackett captured his crown last September 20th in Plant City, Florida, quando ha dominato 4-1 favorite and previously undefeated Clay Waterman (11-0, 8 KO) 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. Capisco. 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, di sicuro, and one day the undisputed and unified titles, troppo, 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 (COME) and managed by 3 Point Management (3 PM). "(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.” In 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)."

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez Fighting for his legacy
Gilberto “Zurdo” RamirezFighting for his legacy |
LOS ANGELES (Marzo 20, 2024) -- Former World Boxing Organization Super Middleweight Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (45-1, 30 KO) is fighting for his legacy, starting March 30th when he challenges undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Cruiserweight World title holder Arsen “Feroz” Goulamirian (21-0, 14 KO) 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. 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, California. “Becoming the first Mexican-born cruiserweight world champion and two-division world champion is very important to me,"Ramirez ha detto. “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. Naturally, 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, tuttavia, 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.” INFORMAZIONI: Sito web: 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.

Anche se sono in cima alla mia lista, Non li sto aspettando, Ho la mia eredità da inseguire. Ho detto prima, Beterbiev e Smith sono nella migliore delle ipotesi combattenti nella media, e sanno di non menzionare il mio nome. Bivol era vicino a farcela (combattere contro. Southpaw) accadere, ma ha avuto l'opportunità Canelo, quindi non lo biasimo". Boesel, che ha combattuto fuori dall'Europa, è 2-1 nei combattimenti per il titolo mondiale IBO, perdendo contro Robin Krasniqi, mentre Zurdo lo è 6-0 combattere nei campionati del mondo.

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 KO) has been matched against Yunieski “The Monster” Gonzalez (21-3, 17 KO) a dicembre 18 a 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,"Ramirez ha detto. “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.”
Buffalo (18-0, 11 KO) expressed his desire to fight Ramirez before and after the latter knocked out Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KO) this past this past July. Suddenly, anche se, 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 KO), at either 168 o 175 libbre.
“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. Di nuovo, nel pugilato, 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 questa lotta (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. Purtroppo, 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 KO). Ramirez and Gonzalez, rispettivamente, are rated No. 3 e No. 4 dalla WBA, and their 12-round main event will headline a Golden Boy-promoted card to be streamed live on DAZN.
