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

(L-R) – Oscar de la Hoya, ז'ילברטו רמירז & ברנרד הופקינס



לאס וגאס (נִשׂגָב 23, 2021) לא מנוצח ג'ילברטו "Zurdo" רמירז (42-0, 28 קוס) 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) super middleweight World champion is a leading light heavyweight contender, מדורג כרגע אין. 2 על ידי ארגון האיגרוף העולמי (WBO) ולא. 5 על ידי פדרציית האיגרוף הבינלאומית (IBF), כמו גם לא. 9 ב הטבעת independent rankings for the first time in the 175-pound division.


After Ramirez’ recent knockout victory over סאליבן Barrera (22-3, 14 קוס), positioning him for a World title shot, the boxing world looked forward to “Zurdo” challenging World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight Champion דמיטרי ביבול מאוחר יותר השנה. 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 קוס).


The 30-year Ramirez has openly called for a fight with Bivol or either of the other World light heavyweight title holders, ארתור בטרבייב (WBC/IBF) ו ג'ו סמית, ג 'וניור. (WBO), whose rumored unification fight doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.


בינתיים, 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, נער זהב, 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. כלוחם, 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; ג'ו סמית, ג 'וניור. 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 (יהושע) 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 אדואו ג'ק, אליידר אלוורז, Maxim Vlasov (Ramirez defeated him as super middleweights), ו 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. שוב, 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

לאס וגאס (מאי 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, ארגון אגרוף עולמי (WBO) אלוף סופר במשקל בינוניג'ילברטו "Zurdo" רמירז had made a decision to move up to fight in the light heavyweight division, and he was searching for a new head trainer.

רמירז (41-0, 27 קוס) immediately connected with a then 28-year-oldג'וליאן צ'ואה, a former amateur boxer who had been training boxers atפרדי רואץ '’s famed Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, California. “Zurdo” and Chua are now 2-0 (2 קוס) and preparing for a mega-fought later this year, ideally, against undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight Championדמיטרי ביבול (17-0, 11 קוס).

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, ספורט 29-0 שיא מקצוענים, ורק 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, כאשרטומי Karpency (29-6-1) לא היה מסוגל להמשיך אחרי ארבעה סיבובים, followed last December 18ה עם 10ה round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) כותרת.

Chua was trained by Roach when he was an amateur from Indiana, but when Chua started at Wildcard, Roach’s assistantאריק בראון 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 withאוסקר דה לה הויה’s Golden Boy Promotions, is currently ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9ה in Los Angeles againstסאליבן Barrera (22-3, 14 קוס).

Whether it’s Bivol, or the other world light heavyweight champions — ארתור בטרבייב וג'ו סמית – “Zurdo” and Chua are preparing to beat the best for Ramirez to wear the coveted World championship crown in a second division.

“Zurdo” fighting for his legacy, 41-0 Gilberto Ramirez on mission to join elusive 50-0 club

לאס וגאס (מאי 19, 2021) – Only five boxers have started their professional careers with a 50-fight win streak and the contemporary leader, 41-0 ג'ילברטו "Zurdo" רמירז is on a mission to join the exclusive club, continuing July 9ה in Los Angeles againstסאליבן Barrera (22-3, 14 קוס). 

רמירז, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withאוסקר דה לה הויה’s Golden Boy Promotions, was the first Mexican-born super middleweight World champion, and he is currently the No. 3 rated light heavyweight in the world, על ידי עולם אגרוף האיגוד (WBA) וארגון אגרוף עולמי (WBO). 

Although he won’t turn 30 until June 19, Ramirez has been fighting professionally for nearly 12 שנים, and one of his goals is to become a World champion in two different weight classes. Another is joining his idol and fellow Mexicanחוליו סזאר צ'אבס ב 50-0 מועדון, in which he is No. 1 having amazingly won his first 87 pro fights. The first blemish on his pro record was a 12-round majority draw with the greatפרנל ויטאקר ב 1993 in their WBC World welterweight title fight.

    “Getting to 50-0 is very important, but I’m more interested in being able to fight the fights the fans want,” Ramirez said. “I’ve never turned down a fight and have made it clear to all the fighters I want. I look across the division and none of these fighters are on my level”

    Ramirez is closing in on boxing history as he fights for his legacy. Five years after he retires, “Zurdo” should rightfully join the four Hall of Famers who are presently ahead of him on the 50-Club list.

Gilberto Ramirez hunting undefeated Russian light heavyweight world champions

“Zurdo” targets Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol

לאס וגאס (מרץ 31, 2021) – Former world super middleweight championג'ילברטו "Zurdo" רמירז (41-0, 27 קוס) is on the hunt and his targets are undefeated Russiansארתור בטרבייב ודמיטרי ביבול, בהתאמה, the reigning WBC/IBF and WBA Super light heavyweight World champions.

The 29-year-old Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withאוסקר דה לה הויה’s Golden Boy Promotions, is currently ranked No. 4 ולא. 5, בהתאמה, by the WBA and WBO.

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

In his first fight in 519 ימים (אוקטובר. 12, 2019), Beterbiev showed signs of rust and possibly age (36) במהלך שלו 10ה round technical knockout of his relatively unknown German opponentAdam Deines (19-2-1, 10 קוס).  עכשיו, Beterbiev is talking about next fighting the winner of the April 10ה ג'ו סמית, ג 'וניור. (26-3, 21 קוס) לעומתMaxim Vlasov (45-3, 26 קוס) באפריל 10ה for the vacant WBO 175-pound division title. Vlasov, אַגַב, was defeated by Ramirez via a 10-round unanimous decision in 2015.

“I expected a lot more from him (טרבייב),” 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 חודשים, since winning a 12-round unanimous decision againstהנין קסטילו.  Instead of returning against a “name” fighter in defense of his WBA Super title, Bivol will be returning May 1רח ' in London against somebody namedCraig “Spider” Richards 16-1-1, 9 קוס), 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

לאס וגאס (מרץ 1, 2021) – Undefeated world light heavyweight contender and former world super middleweight championג'ילברטו "Zurdo" רמירז (41-0, 27 קוס), recently signed an exclusive promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions, primarily because of the strong support he will receive fromOscar De Lay Hoya 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 (אוסקר) 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 championדמיטריBivol (17-0, 11 קוס) 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.

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez targets Saul “Canelo” Alvarez for future mega-showdown

לאס וגאס (ינואר 21, 2021) – If 29-year-oldג'ילברטו "Zurdo" רמירז (41-0, 27 קוס), 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 countrymanשאול "קאנלו" אלווארז (54-2-32, 36 קוס) 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.”

ראשון, למרות ש, Ramirez has some business to take care of starting with a potential Interim World Boxing Council (WBC) light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 מתגורר בארה"ב. אולימפי“Sir” Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 קוס).

The WBC recently ordered No. 1 rated Ramirez vs. לא. 4 בראון. Team Zurdo and Team Browne have until February 5ה to work out a deal before it goes to purse bid. Ramirez is promoted by his own company, Zurdo Promotions, 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 championארתור בטרבייב (15-0, 15 קוס) or WBA Super title-holderדמיטרי ביבול (17-0, 11 קוס, 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. בראון, 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 X 3) to become the WBO world champion.

ב 2019, Alvarez joined WBO titlistJulio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) as the only Mexican-born light heavyweight champions of the world, when he stopped 34-3-1סרגיי קובלב ב 11ה 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 5ה-best winning streak to start a professional career in Mexican boxing history behind four Hall of Famers: his idolחוליו סזאר צ'אבס (87), Carlos Zarate (52), ריקרדו לופז (47) ומרקו אנטוניו 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, עם זאת, 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 (כבד משקל קל) 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 (קנלו נגד. 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 (רמירז) and Jalisco (אלוורז)."

41-0 גילברטו “אִטֵר” Ramirez all in for WBC Interim World light heavyweight clash with “סר” מרקוס בראון

לאס וגאס (ינואר 14, 2021) — The first super middleweight world champion of Mexican decent, בלתי מנוצח גילברטו “אִטֵר” רמירז (41-0, 27 קוס) is all in for a potential World Boxing Council (WBC) Interim light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 מתגורר בארה"ב. אולימפי “סר” מרקוס בראון (23-1, 16 קוס).

The WBC ordered Ramirez vs. Browne this past Monday because reigning WBC light heavyweight World champion ארתור בטרבייב (15-0, 15 קוס) hasn’t defended his title since capturing it October 18, 2019, due to getting COVID-19 during training camp, as well as for other pandemic related restrictions. Beterbiev is also the reigning International Boxing Federation (IBF) light heavyweight World champion.

Ramirez is the No. 1 light heavyweight contender in the WBC ratings, while Browne is ranked No. 4. Team Zurdo and Team Browne have until February 5ה to work out a deal before it’ll go to purse bid. Martinez is promoted by his own company, Zurdo Promotions, while Browne is represented by PBC.

This is an interesting opportunity and I’m ready to fight anyone in the light heavyweight division to leave my mark on the sport,” Ramirez said. “I know Marcus has been out of the ring for a while, but he’s a U.S. Olympian and still one of the best in the game. I know he’s wanted this fight for a while and hopefully we can make something happen.

“בנוסף, it’s always been my dream to get the green belt (WBC) and bring it back to Mexico. I have a lot of respect for the WBC and Mauricio Suliman and I am grateful for all their love and support throughout my career.

חודש שעבר, Ramirez fought for the first time in 20 חודשים, stopping defending champion אלפונסו “אל טיגרה” לופז (32-4, 25 קוס) in the 10th round of the “קרב ריו גרנדה” אירוע מרכזי, which marked the debut of Zurdo Promotions.

The 29-year-old Ramirez became the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight crown in 2016, when the ultra-gifted, athletic southpaw pitched a complete shutout against defending title holder “מלך” ארתור אברהם(44-4), winning each round for a 12-round unanimous decision (120-106 X 3) to become the World Boxing Organization (WBO) אלוף העולם.

Ramirez successful defended his WBO title five times against 33-4-1 Maksym Bursak (DEC12), 22-0 Jessie Hart (DEC12), 25-0-1 Habib Ahmed (25-0-1), 23-0 Roemer Alexis Angulo (DEC12), and Hart again in a rematch (DEC12). “אִטֵר” moved up to the light heavyweight division in 2019, destroying 29-6-1 טומי Karpency, who was unable to continue fighting after four rounds.

A talented southpaw as well, Browne was a decorated U.S. amateur out of New York City, who won gold medals at the 2010 מתגורר בארה"ב. לאומי אליפות PAL ו 2012 מתגורר בארה"ב. אליפות הלאומית, prior to representing the U.S. at the Olympic Games in London.

בראון, 30, is a past WBA Interim light heavyweight World champion. He has beaten a pair of word champions, 22-1-3 אדואו ג'ק (DEC12) ו 25-7-1 גבריאל Campillo (25-7-2). Other notable opponents he has defeated include 21-0 Radivoje Kalajdzic (DEC8), 20-2 תומאס וויליאמס (KO6), 28-0 שון מונאהן (TKO2), ו 18-1-1 הנין קסטילו (DEC10). Browne’s last fight was August 3, 2019, when he suffered his first loss as a professional to former world champion ז'אן פסקל(33-6-1) via an eight-round technical decision, after Browne suffered a severe cut over his left eye from an accidental head-butt.

There are always challenges to making a fight become reality,” Ramirez concluded, “but me being both the fighter and sole promoter, I’m flexible on the common problems that takes to make a fight. I’m not sure how much time Marcus will need to be ready, but both time and location can be determined when the other preliminary items are agreed upon. If it goes to a purse bid, I’m ready for the process and, hopefully, this fight can happen for both of us.
