ЛОС-АНДЖЕЛЕС (Березня 21, 2024) – Toronto’s undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Intercontinental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-0, 6 КО) will make his first title defense March 30^ї against Rowdy Legend Montgomery (10-5-1, 7 КО) 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.

WBA No. 13 world-rated Hackett captured his crown last September 20^ї in Plant City, Флорида, коли він домінував 4-1 favorite and previously undefeated Clay Waterman (11-0, 8 КО) 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. Я розумію. 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, Пітер "Kid Шоколад" Квіллін, Серхіо Мора, 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, точно, and one day the undisputed and unified titles, занадто, 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 (ТАКИЙ ЯК) and managed by 3 Point Management (3 PM).

"(Дмитро) 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.”

В 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, Лос-Анджелес.

“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 (Лівша)."

Gilberto “Zurdo” RamirezFighting for his legacy

ЛОС-АНДЖЕЛЕС (Березня 20, 2024) -- Former World Boxing Organization Super Middleweight Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (45-1, 30 КО) is fighting for his legacy, starting March 30^ї when he challenges undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Cruiserweight World title holder Arsen “Feroz” Goulamirian (21-0, 14 КО) at You Tube Theater at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Каліфорнія.

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.

Рамірес, 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, Каліфорнія.

“Becoming the first Mexican-born cruiserweight world champion and two-division world champion is very important to me,– сказав Рамірес. “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, проте, 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.”

Пряма трансляція 14 травня на DAZN

Лас-Вегас (Квітня 28, 2022) – А не чекати переможця травня 7^ї Поєдинок у Лас-Вегасі між суперзіркою Саулем «Канело» Альваресом і Всесвітньою боксерською асоціацією (WBA) Чемпіон у суперлегкій вазі Дмитро Бівол, або взяти безглузду бійку, Колишній чемпіон світу в суперсередній вазі Гілберто «Зурдо» Рамірес покаже свою бездоганну 43-0 (39 КО) запис на лінії трав 14^ї проти німця Домініка Бозеля (32-2, 12 КО), правляча Міжнародна боксерська організація (IBO в) Володар титулу чемпіона світу в напівважкій вазі та номер WBA. 1 рейтингом суперника.

«Лівий проти. Boesel,», представлений Golden Boy Promotions спільно з Zurdo Promotions і SES Boxing, транслюватиметься в прямому ефірі ексклюзивно на DAZN з Toyota Arena в Онтаріо, Каліфорнія. Переможець головної події, яка складається з 12 раундів, візьме участь у матчі Canelo vs. Переможець Біволю.

«Boesel – це №. 1 Європейський напівважковаговик, який має всі нагороди, щоб зробити цей бій складним,– сказав Рамірес. "Звичайно, Буйвол (WBC & Чемпіон IBF Артур), Бетербієв і (Чемпіон WBO Джо) Сміт все ще займає перше місце в моєму списку, але всі вони були недоступні. Незважаючи на те, що вони на першому місці мого списку, Я їх не чекаю, У мене є власна спадщина, за якою я прагну. Я вже казав раніше, Бетербієв і Сміт в кращому випадку середні бійці, і вони знають, що не варто згадувати моє ім’я. Біволъ був близький до того, щоб це зробити (боротися проти. Лівша) статися, але він отримав можливість Канело, тому я не звинувачую його».

Boesel, який воював за межами Європи, є 2-1 в боях за титул чемпіона світу за версією IBO, програш Робіну Краснічі, тоді як Зурдо є 6-0 боротьба на чемпіонатах світу. Бозель також колишній тимчасовий член WBA, Чемпіон Європи та світу серед молоді у легкій вазі за версією WBO.

Я найкращий напівважковаговик у світі, але мені все одно потрібно принести найкраще, щоб прийти ввечері бою. Буду мати перевагу в досвіді, але я не можу сприймати його легковажно, тому що, він давній професіонал, який знає, як скористатися моментом».

Тому що йому заборонили битися за WBA, WBO, Титули чемпіона світу за версіями WBC або IBF у напівважкій вазі прямо зараз, через згадану вище недоступність Біволю, Бетербієв і Сміт, Рамірес вважається офіційним викликом чемпіону світу за версією WBC у важкій вазі Ілунзі Юніору Макабу (29-2, 25 КО). До цього так і не дійшло, проте, Зурдо планує просуватися вгору, але тільки після того, як він подбає про розчистку 175-фунтового підрозділу.

«Я все ще планую перейти до напівважкої ваги і, зрештою, у важку вагу,” Лівша пропонується. «Моєю метою завжди було стати чемпіоном світу в чотирьох дивізіонах».

Легенда про Зурдо продовжує розвиватися!

Toronto’s undefeated light heavyweight Kareem Hackett joins same 3 Point Management stable as 43-0 Жілберту "Zurdo" Рамірес

Лютого 6, 2022 FNU47 Залишити коментар

Zurdo and Hackett.jpg — (L-Р) — Gilberto “Лівша” Рамірес & Kareem Hackett

**Лас-Вегас (Лютого 2, 2022)** – Undefeated Toronto light heavyweight prospect Kareem Hackett (8-0, 7 КО) підписав управлінський контракт з 3 Point Management (3PM), which also manages 43-0 Жілберту "Zurdo" Рамірес, the former World Super Middleweight Champion, and today the top-ranked World light heavyweight contender.

“Kareem is a great talent that just needs an opportunity,– сказав Рамірес. “He’s been a good sparring partner for me in the past and I’m glad he can be in the same stable as I am, 3 Point Management.”

In Canada, Hackett participated in combat sports like kickboxing, джиу-джитсу, and boxing. He had a 40-6 amateur boxing record, including a pair of Ringside International boxing titles, as well as being crowned a Canadian National kickboxing champion.

Now a resident of Los Angeles, where Kareem trains at Brickhouse Boxing Club, in which “Zurdo” is part of its ownership. Hackett is coached by Ramirez’ head trainer, Julian Chua.

“I met ‘Zurdo’ through Julian,” Hackett explained. “We have the same trainer, Джуліан. Sparring with ‘Zurdo’ is great. Afterwards, we always talk about boxing. He has a lot of experience and he’s taught me so many different things. It also adds to my competitiveness. I try to bring different things I’ve learned from him into our sparring, and that’s been great for me.

“I work with Julian; he is here in Los Angeles. Because of the pandemic, it’s been complicated for me, so I haven’t been going home a (Торонто) is much as I used to or want to. We’re super spoiled at Brickhouse. I grew up in a classic gym, and I was used to its griminess. I can’t believe how nice Brickhouse is.”

“Kareem is a very skillful fighter that has been under the radar too long,” Chua remarked. “He’s one of the best strategists in the ring I’ve ever seen. We started his professional career together and we’ve built a brother bond. He knows he can trust my eyes in the corner like I can trust his skills in the ring.”

Hackett, 31, is a southpaw from Toronto, who has learned from sparring sessions with world boxing champions such as “Zurdo,” Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Серхіо Мора, Mathew Macklin, Девід Бенавідес, and Dmitry Bivol. Hackett’s 3PM stablemate, “Zurdo” Ramirez, is the mandatory challenger for Bivol, the reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) Light Heavyweight World Champion.

“What I’ve learned most from sparring all these world champions is, unlike a lot of guys who believe they need to knockout their opponent in one round,” Hackett noted, “it’s not a one-round fight and could go as long as 12 раундів. I’ve learned long-term strategy. Boxing is more like a marathon-like mindset than a sprint.”

In his most recent action, Hackett stopped 2-0 Giovanni Lizarraga Garate midway through the opening round last April in Mexico.
Self-described as using a strategic violence style, Hackett is a smart, elusive, accurate, and opportunistic. Sounds as if he’s describing “Zurdo.” “We do have the same coach,” Hackett added.

Hackett’s goals in 2022 includes knocking out each opponent he faces, as well as capturing U.S. or Canadian regional titles. His first fight of 2022 is tentatively set for February 17 in Texas against an opponent to be determined.

“Kareem is a smart, intelligent fighter with a gifted physic to be a force in this game,” Ramirez concluded.

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

Лютого 1, 2022 FNU47 Залишити коментар

Лас-Вегас (Січень 31, 2022) – Back in December, right after Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (43-0, 29 КО) stopped Yunieski Gonzalez to become the mandatory challenger for World Boxing Association (WBA) Light Heavyweight World Super Champion Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 КО) 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, кажучи, “I know for a fact that my team did offer Team Ramirez to fight me December 11^ї в Росії, and the purse offered was about the same as what I was offered to fight him on a (Golden Boy Promotions) показати. 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.”

Рамірес, the first Mexican to capture the World super middleweight title, is a former World Boxing Organization (WBO) Чемпіон, 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 (WBO) that I had at 168 фунти,” 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 раундів ".

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, Дмитро, 43-0 “Zurdo” is the best!

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

Team Scrappy.jpg — (L-Р) – Arrion Jafari, Жілберту "Zurdo" Рамірес, David Suh, and John “Scrappy” Ramirez

**ЛОС-АНДЖЕЛЕС (Січень 12, 2022)** – Undefeated bantamweight prospect John “Scrappy” Ramirez (8-0, 7 КО), the second boxer signed to 3 Point Management (3PM) which also manages 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, and today the top-ranked World light heavyweight contender.

“’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, небо - межа. 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, проте, 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 (Бокс), 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 Point Management. Зараз, 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 документальний, “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, він сказав, due to all the tattoos on his body and their visual placements. Одного дня, 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 аматорські матчі, 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,” Ramirez added. “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. На жаль, хоча, 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, Техас, 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,” Ramirez added. “He remembered when I came back to LA and asked if I wanted to make my pro debut on December 18^ї (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, теж».

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

“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,” he added. “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, Адрієн Broner, Канело Альварес, Gervonta Девіс, Василь Ломаченко, і, звичайно, “Zurdo” Ramirez.

“I am destined,” Ramirez concluded. “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. моя мета 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.

Лас-Вегас (Листопад 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.

Рамірес (42-0, 28 КО) has been matched against Yunieski “The Monster” Gonzalez (21-3, 17 КО) грудня 18 в Сан-Антоніо (Техас) 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,– сказав Рамірес. “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.”

Буйвол (18-0, 11 КО) expressed his desire to fight Ramirez before and after the latter knocked out Sullivan Баррера (22-3, 14 КО) this past this past July. Suddenly, хоча, 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 КО), at either 168 або 175 фунти.

“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. Знову, в боксі, 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. З цієї боротьби (проти. Гонсалес) 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. Сумно, 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 КО). Ramirez and Gonzalez, відповідно, are rated No. 3 і Ні. 4 за версією WBA, and their 12-round main event will headline a Golden Boy-promoted card to be streamed live on DAZN.
