(Л-Р) – Oscar de la Hoya, Gilberto Ramirez & Бернард Хопкинс



ЛАС ВЕГАС (Август 23, 2021) – Undefeated Гилберто "Зурдо" Рамирез (42-0, 28 КОс) 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 (ВБО) super middleweight World champion is a leading light heavyweight contender, Тренутно оцијенио Не. 2 Светска боксерске организације (ВБО) и не. 5 by the International Boxing Federation (ИБФ), као ни. 9 у Прстен independent rankings for the first time in the 175-pound division.


After Ramirez’ recent knockout victory over сулливан Баррера (22-3, 14 КОс), positioning him for a World title shot, the boxing world looked forward to “Zurdo” challenging World Boxing Association (ВБА) Super Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol 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 КОс).


The 30-year Ramirez has openly called for a fight with Bivol or either of the other World light heavyweight title holders, Артур Бетербиев (WBC/IBF) и Џо Смит, Јр. (ВБО), whose rumored unification fight doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.


У међувремену, 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, Голден Бои, 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. Као борац, 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; Џо Смит, Јр. 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 (Џошуа) 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 Бадоу Џек, Елеидер Алварез, Maxim Vlasov (Ramirez defeated him as super middleweights), и 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. Опет, I trust Golden Boy will do what has been promised and I look forward to what fight they will present me with.”

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.”

A victory for Barrera can resurge his career and alter my path; тако, 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 9тх. Come fight night, I know all my hard work will pay off.”

Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

ЛАС ВЕГАС (Мај 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, Ворлд Бокинг Организатион (ВБО) Super Middleweight ChampionГилберто "Зурдо" Рамирез had made a decision to move up to fight in the light heavyweight division, and he was searching for a new head trainer.

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

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 про рецорд, 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, кадаТоми Карпенци (29-6-1) није могао да настави након четири круга, followed last December 18тх са 10тх round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (НАБФ) наслов.

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 withОскар де ла Хоја’s Golden Boy Promotions, is currently ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9тх in Los Angeles againstсулливан Баррера (22-3, 14 КОс).

Whether it’s Bivol, or the other world light heavyweight champions — Артур Бетербиев иЏо Смит – “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

ЛАС ВЕГАС (Мај 19, 2021) – Only five boxers have started their professional careers with a 50-fight win streak and the contemporary leader, 41-0 Гилберто "Зурдо" Рамирез is on a mission to join the exclusive club, continuing July 9тх in Los Angeles againstсулливан Баррера (22-3, 14 КОс). 

Рамирез, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withОскар де ла Хоја’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, Светска Бокинг Ассоциатион (ВБА) и Светска боксерске организације (ВБО). 

Although he won’t turn 30 until June 19, Ramirez has been fighting professionally for nearly 12 године, and one of his goals is to become a World champion in two different weight classes. Another is joining his idol and fellow MexicanЈулио Цесар Цхавез ин 50-0 Клуб, 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 greatПернелл Вхитакер у 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”

    Chavez moved ahead of featherweight iconWill Pepу 62, До Нот. 2 on the contemporary list, compiled in less than three years dating back to the 1940’s. Pep lost for the first time as a pro toСеми Анготт by 10-round decision in 1943.

    Another Mexican boxer is in the 50-0 Клуб, До Нот. 4 Carlos Zarate, who reached 52 straight victories off his pro debut, 51 нокаутом, in the 1970’s. Zarate was stopped in his 53рд fight by Puerto Rican starВилфредо Гомез in the fifth round of their 1978 WBC super bantamweight World championship match.

    The only member of the exclusive 50-0 Club to retire undefeated is Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Јр. in fifth place with 50.

    The four inactive boxers in the club – Chavez, Pep, Zarate, and Mayweather – are inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

    Роцки Марциано иBrian Nielson (49), Ларри Холмес (48), Рикардо Лопес (47), Јое Цалзагхе (46-0) иJim Barry (45) all came close to 50-0 memberships. Lopez (51-0-1) fought a draw in his 48тх pro fight withRosendo Alvarez

    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

ЛАС ВЕГАС (Март 31, 2021) – Former world super middleweight championГилберто "Зурдо" Рамирез (41-0, 27 КОс) is on the hunt and his targets are undefeated RussiansАртур Бетербиев иDmitry Bivol, односно, the reigning WBC/IBF and WBA Super light heavyweight World champions.

The 29-year-old Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withОскар де ла Хоја’s Golden Boy Promotions, is currently ranked No. 4 и не. 5, односно, by the WBA and WBO.

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

In his first fight in 519 дани (Нов. 12, 2019), Beterbiev showed signs of rust and possibly age (36) during his 10тх round technical knockout of his relatively unknown German opponentAdam Deines (19-2-1, 10 КОс).  Сада, Beterbiev is talking about next fighting the winner of the April 10тх Џо Смит, Јр. (26-3, 21 КОс) наспрамMaxim Vlasov (45-3, 26 КОс) он Април 10тх for the vacant WBO 175-pound division title. Vlasov, случајно, was defeated by Ramirez via a 10-round unanimous decision in 2015.

“I expected a lot more from him (Бетербиев),” 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 месеци, since winning a 12-round unanimous decision againstЛењин Кастиљо.  Instead of returning against a “name” fighter in defense of his WBA Super title, Bivol will be returning May 1ул in London against somebody namedCraig “Spider” Richards 16-1-1, 9 КОс), 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

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

ЛАС ВЕГАС (Јануар 21, 2021) – If 29-year-oldГилберто "Зурдо" Рамирез (41-0, 27 КОс), 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 КОс) 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.”

Први, мада, Ramirez has some business to take care of starting with a potential Interim World Boxing Council (ВБЦ) light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 У.С. Олимпијски“Sir” Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 КОс).

The WBC recently ordered No. 1 rated Ramirez vs. До Нот. 4 Бровне. Team Zurdo and Team Browne have until February 5тх 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 championАртур Бетербиев (15-0, 15 КОс) or WBA Super title-holderDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 КОс, 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. Браон, 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 Кс 3) to become the WBO world champion.

У 2019, Alvarez joined WBO titlistJulio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) as the only Mexican-born light heavyweight champions of the world, when he stopped 34-3-1Сергеј Ковалев ин 11тх 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 5тх-best winning streak to start a professional career in Mexican boxing history behind four Hall of Famers: his idolЈулио Цесар Цхавез (87), Carlos Zarate (52), Рикардо Лопес (47) иМарцо Антонио Баррера (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, међутим, 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 (Цанело) able to do it again (fight as a light heavyweight),” Ramirez added. “He’s already fought at that weight once (Лигхт Хеавивеигхт) 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 (Цанело вс.. 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 (Рамирез) and Jalisco (Алварез)."

41-0 Gilberto “Левак” Ramirez all in for WBC Interim World light heavyweight clash with “Сир” Марцус Бровне

ЛАС ВЕГАС (Јануар 14, 2021) — The first super middleweight world champion of Mexican decent, непоражен Gilberto “Левак” Рамирез (41-0, 27 КОс) is all in for a potential World Boxing Council (ВБЦ) Interim light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 У.С. Олимпијски “Сир” Марцус Бровне (23-1, 16 КОс).

The WBC ordered Ramirez vs. Browne this past Monday because reigning WBC light heavyweight World champion Артур Бетербиев (15-0, 15 КОс) 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 (ИБФ) 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 5тх 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.

“Додатно, it’s always been my dream to get the green belt (ВБЦ) 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.

Прошлог месеца, Ramirez fought for the first time in 20 месеци, stopping defending champion Alfonso “Ел Тигре” Лопез (32-4, 25 КОс) in the 10th round of theBattle of Rio Grande” Главни догађај, 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 “Краљ” Артхур Абрахам(44-4), winning each round for a 12-round unanimous decision (120-106 Кс 3) to become the World Boxing Organization (ВБО) светски шампион.

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). “Левак” moved up to the light heavyweight division in 2019, destroying 29-6-1 Томи Карпенци, 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 У.С. Натионал Цхампионсхипс ПАЛ и 2012 У.С. Натионал Цхампионсхипс, prior to representing the U.S. at the Olympic Games in London.

Бровне, 30, is a past WBA Interim light heavyweight World champion. He has beaten a pair of word champions, 22-1-3 Бадоу Џек (DEC12) и 25-7-1 Габријел Цампилло (25-7-2). Other notable opponents he has defeated include 21-0 Радивоје Калајџић (DEC8), 20-2 Тхомас Виллиамс (KO6), 28-0 Шон Монаган (ТКО2), и 18-1-1 Лењин Кастиљо (DEC10). Browne’s last fight was August 3, 2019, when he suffered his first loss as a professional to former world champion Јеан Пасцал(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, Надајмо се, this fight can happen for both of us.
