“That’s what the fans want but I’m not sure if these fighters are ready for me,” Ramirez boldly said about Beterbiev, Bivol and Smith. “I wasn’t impressed by any of the three in their recent bouts. They can run as much as they want, but they can’t hide forever. I know I’m the best in the division and, sooner or later, I will be snatching each of the belts and taking their souls one by one.”
ראַמירעז, וואס לעצטנס אויסגעדרייט 30 (יוני 19), was the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight title, which he relinquished in 2019 to move up to the light heavyweight division, in which he is 2-0 (2 קאָס) having defeated טאַמי קאַרפּענסי(29-6-1) און Alphonso Lopez (32-3) last December to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) crown.

באַררעראַ, fighting out of Cuba by way of Miami, איז 3-3 ווס. past or present world champions with victories against דזשעף לייסי (WTKO4), Karo מוראַט (WKO12) אוןFelix Valera (WDEC10), losing to Bivoך (TKO12), סמיט (DEC10), and Hall of Famerאַנדרע קעסטקינד (דעצעמבער 12).
“I always expect the best from my opponents,” Ramirez noted. “Barrera is a professional and I know he will be ready when the lights are on. He displayed that he’s a strong fighter when he beat and broke Joe Smith, Jr.’s jaw in their bout. A victory for Barrera can resurge his career and alter my path; אַזוי, I prepare for the best version of Barrera, and I will not let anything deter my goals.
“I’ve been working hard. There’s new stuff I’ve been fine tuning and I can’t wait to showcase it July 9טה. Come fight night, I know all my hard work will pay off.”
