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

Lefty logo.jpg
LAS VEGAS (Հունվար 31, 2022) – Back in December, right after Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (43-0, 29 Նոկաուտով) stopped Yunieski Gonzalez to become the mandatory challenger for World Boxing Association (WBA) Light Heavyweight World Super Champion Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 Նոկաուտով) 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, ասելով, “I know for a fact that my team did offer Team Ramirez to fight me December 11րդ ՌԴ-ում, and the purse offered was about the same as what I was offered to fight him on a (Golden Boy Promotions) ցուցադրում. 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.”


Ramirez, the first Mexican to capture the World super middleweight title, նախկին World Boxing Organization (WBO վարկածով) Չեմպիոն, 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 վարկածով) that I had at 168 ֆունտ,” 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 տուր »


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, Դմիտրի, 43-0 “Zurdo” is the best!

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez says Dmitry Bivol now has nowhere to run

zurdo posed.jpg

LAS VEGAS (Նոյեմբեր 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 Նոկաուտով) has been matched against Yunieski “The Monster” Gonzalez (21-3, 17 Նոկաուտով) թ. դեկտեմբերի 18 Սան Անտոնիո (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,», - ասել է Ռամիրեսը. “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.”

Bivol (18-0, 11 Նոկաուտով) expressed his desire to fight Ramirez before and after the latter knocked out Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 Նոկաուտով) this past this past July. Suddenly, չնայած, 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 Նոկաուտով), at either 168 կամ 175 ֆունտ.

“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. Կրկին, բռնցքամարտով, 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. Այս պայքարում (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. Ցավոք, 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 Նոկաուտով). Ramirez and Gonzalez, համապատասխանաբար, are rated No. 3 եւ ոչ. 4 կողմից WBA, and their 12-round main event will headline a Golden Boy-promoted card to be streamed live on DAZN.

Undefeated World Light Heavyweight Contender Gilberto Ramirez believes in “Zurdo,” Golden Boy & his Mexican heritage

CHAMPIONS.jpg
(L-R) – Oscar de la Hoya, Ժիլբերտո Ռամիրեսը & Bernard Hopkins



LAS VEGAS (Օգոստոս 23, 2021) – Undefeated Gilberto «zurdo» Ramirez (42-0, 28 Նոկաուտով) feels he’ll get his first World light heavyweight title shot because he believes in himself, his promoter Golden Boy Promotions, and his Mexican heritage.


The former World Boxing Organization (WBO վարկածով) super middleweight World champion is a leading light heavyweight contender, ներկայումս գնահատվել Ոչ. 2 Համաշխարհային բռնցքամարտի կազմակերպության (WBO վարկածով) եւ ոչ. 5 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF), ինչպես նաեւ ոչ. 9 մեջ The Ring independent rankings for the first time in the 175-pound division.


After Ramirez’ recent knockout victory over Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 Նոկաուտով), positioning him for a World title shot, the boxing world looked forward to “Zurdo” challenging World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight Champion Դմիտրի Բիվոլ later this year. Bivol had all but assured a showdown with Ramirez through social media posts, but suddenly he changed his tune and was dreaming of a match this November that isn’t going to happen against WBA and WBC Super Middleweight Champion “Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 Նոկաուտով).


The 30-year Ramirez has openly called for a fight with Bivol or either of the other World light heavyweight title holders, Artur Beterbiev (WBC/IBF) իսկ Joe Smith, Jr. (WBO վարկածով), whose rumored unification fight doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.


Մինչդեռ, all three reigning World light heavyweight champions have gone dark, at least in terms of fighting Ramirez. Is “Zurdo” too risky for them, or are they just hesitant to fight a proven Mexican challenger?


“I leave my opponents to my promoter, Golden Boy, and its matchmaker, Robert Diaz,” Ramirez explained. “They’re aware of what I want, and I trust they are diligent and will do whatever is best for me. Որպես մարտիկ, I’ve been clear that all the World light heavyweight champs are on my hit list; and I don’t retract my statement or shy away from the fights as most of them have. In this world, all I have are my word and balls, and I don’t break ‘em for anyone. I fight not just for myself, but for my pride and the spirit of Mexican people. We are proud of our heritage and have been the best fighters. Russians know I will take out both Bivol and Beterbiev; Joe Smith, Jr. is just an appetizer.”


“Canelo” and Julio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) are the only native Mexicans to be crowned World Light Heavyweight Champions, but everybody in boxing knows Mexican boxers are called warriors for a good reason.


“I think they’re all reluctant to fight a Mexican light heavyweight like me,” Ramirez added. “There’s a reason why Bivol is retracting his statement and staying quiet after all his social media antics. If he was serious, it’s an easy fight to make, and he knows it (both fighters have fought on DAZN). I’m also hearing (Joshua) Buatsi’s name in the mix, but I would absolutely destroy him. All these guys talk the talk but rarely walk the walk. I am a Mexican warrior; everybody knows the way we are built


Other potential contenders in the mix, excluding the reigning world champions, may include Badou Jack, Eleider Alvarez, Maxim Vlasov (Ramirez defeated him as super middleweights), իսկ Lyndon Arthur.

“My time will come, Ramirez concluded. “I know Golden Boy is working hard on making this a reality and when that time comes, all these guys will have nowhere to run or hide. I leave who I fight next up to my matchmaker, Robert Diaz. I trust that Golden Boy will do whatever is best for my career.


“I’m not frustrated, this is part of the process. I’m a veteran in this game. Many will talk, but they will fall when it’s time to act. Կրկին, I trust Golden Boy will do what has been promised and I look forward to what fight they will present me with.”

Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

LAS VEGAS (Մայիս 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, World Boxing կազմակերպության (WBO վարկածով) Super Middleweight ChampionGilberto «zurdo» Ramirez had made a decision to move up to fight in the light heavyweight division, and he was searching for a new head trainer.

Ramirez (41-0, 27 Նոկաուտով) immediately connected with a then 28-year-oldJulian Chua, a former amateur boxer who had been training boxers atFreddie Roach’s famed Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, California. “Zurdo” and Chua are now 2-0 (2 Նոկաուտով) and preparing for a mega-fought later this year, ideally, against undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight ChampionԴմիտրի Բիվոլ (17-0, 11 Նոկաուտով).

How Ramirez ended up with Chua as he head trainer isn’t a typical boxing story. After all, “Zurdo” was the first Mexican world super middleweight champion, sporting a 29-0 pro record, and only 27 when they first met.

Ramirez’ managerDavid Suh, conducted a search to hire Ramirez’ chief second. He had a list that included some of the top trainers in the industry, as well as a young, relatively unknown – at least outside of southern California – in Chua.

“I don’t know how I got on that list,” a humble Chua said. “There was going to be a tryout of sorts to determine who would work with ‘Zurdo.’ We trained together in Long Beach (where Ramirez was training) and then I met with David for coffee. He asked if I was interested in becoming the head trainer. We trained together a little more. He liked the way I trained, and we got along well. I texted David saying we liked working together and that I was interested in becoming his head trainer.

“We clicked right away, and we learned things about each other and how we liked to train. I study a lot and do a lot of research of how he had been trained, because I wanted to help him to improve. I was getting four fighters ready in LA and “Zurdo” couldn’t go there for sparring. I said I couldn’t leave these fighters and go to Santa Barbara. “Zurdo” respected me even more for not jumping ship from those four fighters for a better opportunity. We still wanted to work with each other, and ‘Zurdo’ made it work. I went to Long Beach twice a week, he came to Wildcard three times.”

Ramirez won his light heavyweight debut April 12, 2019, երբTommy Karpency (29-6-1) անկարող էր շարունակել չորս տուրից հետո, followed last December 18րդ հետ 10րդ round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) վերնագիր.

Chua was trained by Roach when he was an amateur from Indiana, but when Chua started at Wildcard, Roach’s assistantEric Brown became Chua’s mentor. During his training career atWildcard West Boxing, known now as Churchill Boxing in Santa Barbara, Chua has trained several world champions in boxing and MMA.

The 29-year-old Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withOscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, is currently ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9րդ in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 Նոկաուտով).

Whether it’s Bivol, or the other world light heavyweight champions — Artur Beterbiev իսկJoe Smith – “Zurdo” and Chua are preparing to beat the best for Ramirez to wear the coveted World championship crown in a second division.

Gilberto Ramirez hunting undefeated Russian light heavyweight world champions

“Zurdo” targets Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol

LAS VEGAS (Երթ 31, 2021) – Former world super middleweight championGilberto «zurdo» Ramirez (41-0, 27 Նոկաուտով) is on the hunt and his targets are undefeated RussiansArtur Beterbiev իսկԴմիտրի Բիվոլ, համապատասխանաբար, the reigning WBC/IBF and WBA Super light heavyweight World champions.

The 29-year-old Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withOscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, is currently ranked No. 4 եւ ոչ. 5, համապատասխանաբար, by the WBA and WBO.

Ramirez was unimpressed by Beterbiev’s recent fight and he wonders where Bivol has been the past 1 ½ տարի, because he hasn’t been in the ring.

In his first fight in 519 օր (Oct. 12, 2019), Beterbiev showed signs of rust and possibly age (36) during his 10րդ round technical knockout of his relatively unknown German opponentAdam Deines (19-2-1, 10 Նոկաուտով).  Այժմ, Beterbiev is talking about next fighting the winner of the April 10րդ Joe Smith, Jr. (26-3, 21 Նոկաուտով) ընդդեմMaxim Vlasov (45-3, 26 Նոկաուտով) թվականի ապրիլի 10րդ for the vacant WBO 175-pound division title. Vlasov, Ի դեպ, was defeated by Ramirez via a 10-round unanimous decision in 2015.

“I expected a lot more from him (Beterbiev),” Ramirez talked about Beterbiev’s fight with Deines. “I thought he looked flat and dull for the majority of the fight. It’s nice of him to temporarily hold my belts, but he should know that I’m coming for all the hardware and will bring the titles back to my people in Mexico.”

Bivol hasn’t thrown a punch during a fight in 17 տարի, since winning a 12-round unanimous decision againstԼենինի Castillo.  Instead of returning against a “name” fighter in defense of his WBA Super title, Bivol will be returning May 1րդ in London against somebody namedCraig “Spider” Richards 16-1-1, 9 Նոկաուտով), the WBA No. 8-rated light heavyweight who has never fought outside the United Kingdom.

“I’ve always said Dmitry Bivol was the toughest challenge out there,” Ramirez added, “which is why I want to make this fight happen. I know he’s got a fight coming up and hopefully he stays undefeated so we can make the mega-fight this summer.”

“Zurdo” is on the hunt

Oscar De La Hoya’s strong support primary reason Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez signed with Golden Boy

LAS VEGAS (Երթ 1, 2021) – Undefeated world light heavyweight contender and former world super middleweight championGilberto «zurdo» Ramirez (41-0, 27 Նոկաուտով), recently signed an exclusive promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions, primarily because of the strong support he will receive fromՕսկար Դե Լեյ Հոյան and his team.

“Ultimately,” the 29-year-old Ramirez explained, “Golden Boy understood the goals and agendas I set for myself and I felt the strong support from Oscar and his team. It’s a multi-fight deal with potential for something longer pending this first experience. From all the conversations my team and I have had with Golden Boy, I felt comfortable with them and the future opportunities that will arise from our relationship.

“Oscar is a great guy and it’s been nothing but a pleasure dealing with him and his team. As my relationship with Golden Boy continues to grow, I’m sure we (Օսկար) will become closer. He’s a champion and one of the greatest to ever lace up the gloves. I look forward to working to him closely.”

Ramirez’ goal is to become the undisputed light heavyweight champion world, something he will have a better shot of accomplishing with Golden Boy in his corner.

«(WBA Super light heavyweight World championԴմիտրիBivoլ (17-0, 11 Նոկաուտով) is someone who has always been on the radar and I have full faith in (Golden Boy matchmakerRobert Diaz to put together the best fights for me,” Ramirez added. “Unification has always been the goal. I know I’m the best in the division and hope to make this happens for the history books in the near future.”

This past December, Ramirez launched his own promotional company, Zurdo Promotions, which will remain active.

“Zurdo Promotions will continue and stay active,” Ramirez said. “Going forward, all my fights with Golden Boy will be in association with Zurdo Promotions. I will host fights in Mexico to be a bridge between Latin America and the United States. There’s tremendous talent in that region and I hope to use my platform to help and support the underserved fighters in Mexico.”

Ramirez, who is tentatively slated to return to the ring in May, is currently ranked No. 1 կողմից WBC, ինչպես նաեւ ոչ. 4 եւ ոչ. 5, համապատասխանաբար, by the WBA and WBO.

HUMBERTOTITOVELAZCO SCORES SENSATIONAL KNOCKOUT IN EL PASO, TX


Photo by Mario Serrano – Prince Ranch Բռնցքամարտի
Ագուասկալյենտես, MX (Փետրվար 19, 2018) – Այս անցյալ Շաբաթ, ին Դոնի Haskins կենտրոնի El Paso, TX, շաքարի Ակցիաներ light-heavyweight prospect, Humberto “Tito” Velazco (19-1-1, 14 Նոկաուտով), scored the knockout of the night, դեմ Thomas “Հաղթող” Williams Jr. (20-4, 14 Նոկաուտով).
Velazco, who hails from Aguascalientes, Մեքսիկա, rallied from an early first round knockdown, which was more of an off-balance circumstance. Velazco wasn’t hurt and evened the score in the second round with his own knockdown, catching Williams with a short right to the face, a punch he didn’t see coming. Williams survived the round but was walking on wobbly legs. Now in a rhythm, Velazco’s timing was on point as he sent Williams to the deck for the second time in round three, this time hurting him badly with combination of punches. Williams survived once again only to be stopped in round four when Velazco, a heavy-handed southpaw, blasted him with a straight left, forcing the referee to stop the bout at the 1:37 նշան.
It was a great feeling to get a knockout in my first fight in the united states,” said Humberto Velazco, ով կարողացել է Greg Hannley of Prince Ranch Boxing. “When I got up from the knockdown I wasn’t hurt, but it definitely woke me up. When I dropped Williams, Ես գիտեի, որ նա չի տուժել, but the round ended. I knew I had to step it up and I got him out of there. I’m ready to fight all the big names at light-heavyweight and super-middleweight. Adonis Stevenson, Սերգեյ Կովալեւի, Դմիտրի Բիվոլ իսկ Artur Beterbiev are at the top. I want their belts, so they are on my target list.
A genetic freak, Velaszco stands slightly over 6″1, and has a rare combination of speed and power. His athletic pedigree runs in the family as his brother is a professional basketball player.
When I first saw Velazco in the gym, I knew he was something special,” ասել է Օսկար Վասկես, CEO of Sugar Promotions. “He has great feet for a big man and showed he can bang with the best of them. I’m very grateful to the folks at PBC, who gave us the opportunity to fight on this card. I believe Velazco will be the next big star to come out of Mexico.
Velazco is a super athletic fighter with a great personality.said Prince Ranch Boxing’s Greg Hannley. “His final knockdown was amazing. We have big plans for Tito and everyone on boxing will know his name soon.
Velazco vs. Williams Jr. was showcased on the PBC card headlined by Victor Ortiz vs. Devon Ալեքսանդր. Look for Velaszco to be back in the ring by summer, most likely in his hometown of Aguascalientes, Մեքսիկա.

HASIM RAHMAN JR. PRO DEBUT MOVED TO FRIDAY, ԱՊՐԻԼԻ 14 MGM NATIONAL HARBOR IN OXON HILL, MD

RAHMAN TO FACE IMES ON UNDERCARD OF BLOCKBUSTER SHOBOX EVENT
NEW YORK (Երթ 27, 2017) – When promoter Greg Cohen announced he had finalized arrangements for his next event, the decision to delay his promising heavyweight hopeful, Hasim Rahman Jr.Ի, professional boxing debut two more weeks became an easy one.
Originally scheduled to turn professional on March 23, Baltimore native Rahman will now have his first four-round fight in front of a huge contingent of hometown family and friends on Ուրբաթ, Ապրիլ 14, ի MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md.
Rahman will face Kansas City’s Brian Imes (1-4, 1 KO) on the non-televised undercard portion of an event that features the live telecast of undefeated Դմիտրի Բիվոլ defending his interim WBA Light Heavyweight title դեմ Samuel Clarkson in the 12-round main event of a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader (10 կեսօրից. ՈՒ/PT). Ի co-հնարավորությունը, unbeaten welterweight prospects Juan Ruiz իսկ Malik Hawkins will square off in an eight-round bout, and Baltimore’s undefeated featherweight Glenn Dezurn will open the telecast.
Տոմսերը միջոցառման, which is co-promoted by Greg Cohen Ակցիաներ իսկ Banner Ակցիաներ հետ Աշխարհ Բռնցքամարտ իսկ Uprising Promotions, գներով ժամը $103, $73 իսկ $48 և կարելի է ձեռք բերել այստեղ www.TicketMaster.com.
You only get one pro debut, so when Greg announced this show, he and I thought it would be a great idea for me to turn pro on this show instead, in front of my hometown friends and family,” explained Rahman.
The 25-year-old, son of Hasim “The Rock” Rahman, who famously knocked out Lennox Lewis in April 2001 to win the WBC and IBF Heavyweight Championships, says to being at home is a very important part of his mission.
I’m doing this for my family and my friends and my city, so I think I should start right in front of them,” Rahman continued. “And someday I’ll bring them back the heavyweight championship. I can’t wait to fight on the same show as my brother with all my loved ones watching. It’s going to be a very big night.
We didn’t get the final word we were doing the Maryland show until a few days ago,” ասել է Greg Cohen. “But once we knew it was happening, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to let Hasim Jr. turn pro at home. It just worked out perfectly.
