लस वेगेस (जानेवारी 21, 2021) – If 29-year-oldGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 कॉस), arguably already one of the top 25 Mexican fighters of all-time, has his way as he enters his prime years, he will eventually have a mega-showdown with fellow countrymanSaul “Canelo” Alvarez (54-2-32, 36 कॉस) before making their way to the Hall of Fame.
“Anything is possible, and it’ll be great for fans if a fight for me against ‘Canelo’ happens,” Ramirez said. “With two Mexicans in the ring, you know it’ll be a war from round one. We’ll see what happens in the future.”
प्रथम, तरी, Ramirez has some business to take care of starting with a potential Interim World Boxing Council (WBC) light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 U.S. ऑलिंपियन“Sir” Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 कॉस).
The WBC recently ordered No. 1 rated Ramirez vs. हे करू नका. 4 ब्राऊन. Team Zurdo and Team Browne have until February 5व्या to work out a deal before it goes to purse bid. Ramirez is promoted by his own company, झुर्डो प्रचार, while Browne is represented by PBC.
If everything goes as Ramirez plans, he’ll have a world unification fight with either WBC/IBF light heavyweight World championArtur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 कॉस) or WBA Super title-holderदिमित्री बिव्होल (17-0, 11 कॉस, preferably later in 2021, pending COVID-19 restrictions.
“I never look past any fight,” Ramirez noted. “In this sport, on any given night, the best man will win. All I can do is train hard and prepare myself to be my best for when the occasion arises. तपकिरी, Bivol, Beterbiev or Canelo, it doesn’t matter who I fight; I always train hard to make sure I’m ready when the fight is here.”
Ramirez became the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight crown in 2016, when the athletic southpaw thoroughly dominated defending champion“King” Arthur Abraham (44-4), winning each round for a 12-round unanimous decision (120-106 एक्स 3) to become the WBO world champion.
मध्ये 2019, Alvarez joined WBO titlistJulio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) as the only Mexican-born light heavyweight champions of the world, when he stopped 34-3-1सर्जी Kovalev मध्ये 11व्या round to become the WBO World light heavyweight champion. The 9-time, 4-division world champion Alvarez relinquished his WBO light heavyweight crown without defending it.
Ramirez is off to the 5व्या-best winning streak to start a professional career in Mexican boxing history behind four Hall of Famers: his idolJulio सीझर चावेझ (87), Carlos Zarate (52), रिकार्डो लोपेझ (47) आणिमार्को अँटोनियो Barrera (43).
The dream match for “Zurdo,” of course, is down the road against Canelo. How about having it on Cinco de Mayo or Mexican Independence Day?
Between then and now, मात्र, Ramirez needs a career-defining victory against a primetime opponent such as Beterbiev or Bivol to set the stage for a Canelo showdown.
“We’ll see if he’s (Canelo) able to do it again (fight as a light heavyweight),” Ramirez added. “He’s already fought at that weight once (लाइट हेवीवेट) and I don’t see why it should be a problem unless it was a fluke. But I do understand he and his team will have to be a lot more cautious navigating this weight class, compared to the lower divisions, due to the higher risk. Also, we’ve been around each other before and even sparred. He knows I’m not just a Kovalev or a Callum Smith.
“It’ll (कॅनेलो वि. Zurdo”) be an instant classic and a great way to showcase top-tier Mexican boxing to the world. I think fans will love this battle between Sinaloa (Ramirez) and Jalisco (Alvarez)."
