Gilberto Ramirez hunting undefeated Russian light heavyweight world champions

“Zurdo” targets Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol

LASa VEGAS (Marto 31, 2021) – Former world super middleweight championGilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs) is on the hunt and his targets are undefeated RussiansArtur Beterbiev KajDmitry Bivol, Respektive, 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 Kaj Ne. 5, Respektive, by the WBA and WBO.

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

In his first fight in 519 tagoj (Oct. 12, 2019), Beterbiev showed signs of rust and possibly age (36) during his 10Th round technical knockout of his relatively unknown German opponentAdam Deines (19-2-1, 10 KOs).  Nun, Beterbiev is talking about next fighting the winner of the April 10Th Joe Smith, Jr. (26-3, 21 KOs) #Kontra?Maxim Vlasov (45-3, 26 KOs) Sur aprilo 10Th for the vacant WBO 175-pound division title. Vlasov, parenteze, 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 Monatoj, since winning a 12-round unanimous decision againstLenin Castillo.  Instead of returning against a “name” fighter in defense of his WBA Super title, Bivol will be returning May 1St in London against somebody namedCraig “Spider” Richards 16-1-1, 9 KOs), 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

La 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion Laureano, who fights out of East Hartford, CT, put on an entertaining show in front of his large, loud contingent of fans.

I thought I did well,” Laureano said after the fight, “but I’d like to see more angles. I want to see more power, Tro. It’s there, he felt it; it’s coming. I have a long road. Sekvanta batalo, I’d like to have an eight-rounder. We’re adding more people to the team. I hope everyone see that I’m getting better each fight. I have more tools and my discipline is there.

I’m so excited to be back fighting at home, especially after our history making fight on HBO. I fought Cecilia Braekhus.

“Surpapere, it was a loss, but it was really a win-win for me, and women’s boxing. It’s already opened a lot of doors for me. There’s been so much growth for me and women’s boxing. It’s going to open the door for other women to fight on networks. It was a step up for women’s boxing, not just for one event, but forever.

 

 

 

I’m the first female Native American to fight in New England.

 

 

 

I’ve been fighting 18 Jaroj. I played basketball and volleyball in high school, but I love boxing.

 

 

 

I showed in my last fight that I belong to be with the elite. I want to get a rematch (with Braekhus).”

 

 

 

Being a road warrior, I’m familiar fighting away or at home, but it’s more comfortable fighting here at home. My hometown crowd is always very supportive.

When commenting on her upcoming fight, Reis had this to say, “Fans can expect to see an even more determined, skilled, hungry, evolving WARRIOR in there! The fight on HBO with Braekhus was such a learning experience and I am grateful for making history in not only women’s boxing but my own personal journey as well.

 

 

 

The last time Reis fought at Mohegan Sun was in November of last year. She is thrilled to be making this homecoming.

 

 

 

I am excited to be back ‘homeat Mohegan Sun June 30th,” said the Rhode Island native. “Star Boxing always has action packed fights lighting up this beautiful area. My fans love coming to Mohegan Sun.

Laureano was asked what he will provide the fans at Mohegan Sun, and his response was simply, “The same thing they always see, Ago. Ago, that’s it. The people are coming to pay money and they are going to get what they paid for. Even in my last fight, people got what they paid for. They came to see action and to see somebody come forward. They don’t want to see nobody dancing around. I’m not saying that style is bad, I can do it too, but people like two guys who come forward and want to fight. I’m that fighter. I’m that fighter that always wants to fight.

 

 

 

This bout against Rodriguez will mark the third time in his career that Laureano is fighting at Mohegan Sun.

 

 

 

When asked about the venue, this is what Laureano had to say, “I love MoheganMohegan is my home. There is no place like it. I love the ring, everything is just so beautiful. The atmosphere, the crowd, my hometown crowd is there, and when they’re there it’s loudMohegan is my home, sendube. The casino treats me good, and when I go there I feel this is where I belong.

GAZETARA KONFERENCO CITAĴOJ
Jose Rivera, RPE CEO: “I’m excited because a press conference means the fights are getting closer. We plan to build our promotional company this year. There is a lot of talent in New England and that’s why we have so many Connecticut fighters on this card. I want the fighters here to understand the importance of a press conference. They will gain valuable experience speaking in public and being interviewed by the media. One of the primary reasons we’re promoting is to give young fighters a platform to box and prepare them for their pro careers.
.J. Rivera, RPE President/Matchmaker: “The support we’ve received has been tremendous and we exceeded expectations in our first year. This is just the begining for RPE. We’re going to get better this year. We’re not satisfied just being a small promotional company. Boxing is the loneliest sport in the world and these boxers need fanssupport. There’s a lot of talent in New England and much of it is concentrated in Connecticut. We have more Connecticut fighters on this card than fighters from Massachusetts.
Richard Rivera: “Tio ĉi estas granda ŝanco por mi. Rivera Promotions accomplished so much in its first year. I fought in the co-main twice of two previous RPE shows I fought on. This is going to be an awesome show, not just the main event. There are competitive boxers up and down the card. Don’t blink, don’t go to the bathroom because any one of these fights could end at any time.
This is a big step up for my career. Boxing is my passion. We’re both coming to fight. Win, lose or draw we’ll see who the Alpha dog is at the end. “I’m ‘Popeye The Sailor Man’, and I’m good to the finish because I eat my spinach.
Kevin Cobbs: “I respect Rivera and believe in what I hear. He seems like a good dude. I’m excited about this fight. A lot of people weren’t sure about what I was doing because I hadn’t fought en du jaroj when I got the call (to fight Rivera). Boxing took me out of the space was in and I never stopped boxing. This is going to be a big year for the Rivera’s. I like to switch it up and I’m ready to go.
Bobby Harris, III: “My opponent wants to redeem his brother’s loss to me. I want to thank RPE for putting me in the co-feature in only my third pro fight. My first two fights were a learning experience and this fight I’m looking to make a statement to showcase my talents. I have a lot to prove as the only Worcester fighter on this card.
Omar Bordoy, Jr:I’m fighting a tough opponent. Fighting is easier for me than talking up here. I’m fighting a guy from Hartford. I have a lot of love for his trainer and Hartford. I want my hand raised at the end of the fight.
Derrick Whitley:I want to thank Rivera Promotions for putting me on this card. I fought on two of their shows last year and came out 2-0. I’m looking to be 3-0. It was a learning experience going from the amateurs to pros. Everybody’s goal is to raise your level. I’m in the best shape of my life for this fight and doing things in the gym I’ve never done before. I’m looking for a stoppage.
Wilfredo Pagan: “I’m 37 years old and I’ve always had a glad to fight at least one pro fight. A couple of fights fell through but the Riveras opened the doors for me. I put it all into my fights. I was looking for one fight and this will be my fourth. I’m going to be 4-0.
Carlos Marraro, III: I want to thank Rivera Promotions for the opportunity to showcase my talents February 10Th. This will be my first fight on a Rivera Promotions card, but I’m familiar with most of the fighters on this card.

Rivera, Kiu estis 2016 Rocky Marciano Turniro ĉampiono, Venas for sensacian dua round de 146-batalo veterano Roberto Valenzuela tiu pasinta Decembro 9 en Hampton, Nov-Hampŝiro.
“Mi estas ekscitita havi Richie boksado por la UBF Nova Anglio titolo tiel frue sian profesian karieron,”” diris iniciatinto Jose Antonio Rivera, la emerita 3-tempa, 2-divido mondĉampiono. “Jen la trian fojon ni havis la privilegion de li batalis sur unu el niaj kartoj. Li batalis en la ĉefokazaĵo de nia lasta spektaklo (Oct.) ĉe la DCU Centro. Rivera aspektas pli bona kaj pli akraj ĉiufoje mi rigardas lin batalo. Mi vidas grandan aferoj venas por li. Li havas la ilojn kaj disciplino trejnisto serĉas kaj boksisto bezonas iĝi mondĉampiono. La ĉielo estas la limo por Richard kaj, nun, ni estas dankema por ludi malgrandan parton por helpi evoluigi sian profesian karieron.”
Rivera sukcese surmerkatigita lia Popeye persono dum lia juna por la boksado, portante maristo ĉapo en la ringo kun tradicia Popeye-kiel pipo pendantaj en la buŝon. “Ekzistas pluraj kialoj por mia kromnomo, 'Popeye', sed kiam mi estis tre juna,” Rivera klarigis, “Mi havis nenormale grandaj antaŭbrakoj. Tio simple ŝtopita kun mi tra la jaroj, kiam homoj nomis min en la gimnastikejo, do mi plu havas kun ĝi. Ilin alportas vivon al Hartford kun pacienco, ĉie Nova Anglio, kun pacienco, persisteco kaj stilo. Mi loĝas en la momento.”
Kvankam li ne gajnis multe da gravaj premioj aŭ turniroj kiel amatora boksisto, Rivera gajnis valorega sperto boksanta multaj el la plej bonaj amatoroj en Nov-Anglio kaj en naciaj okazaĵoj, kaj ankaŭ sparring kun similaĵoj de iama mondo ĉampionoj Peter “Infana #?okolado” Quillin, Chad Dawson Kaj Joe Smith, Jr. Li ankaŭ lernis de tempo pasigita en la ringo kun iama titolo kontestantoj Israelo “prefere” Cardona Kaj John Scully.
“Mi prenis mian tempon turnante pro ĉar mi ne havis apogon sistemo por ricevi min al la sekva nivelo,” Rivera notis. “Mi estis nesekura. La pozitiva retrosciigo mi ricevis de batalantojn mi sparred nutritaj en mian fidon. Nun, en nur mia sesa por batalo, Mi estos elstarigante por la tria fojo, kaj luktante por mia unua titolo. Mi ne povas danki la Riveras (Jozefo kaj lia filo, A.J.) sufiĉa por kion ili faris por mi. Ili kredis en mi.”
Unue, Rivera estis iom malvolonta batali la plej spertaj Cobb sed, post fari iun esploron, Li akceptis la defion. “Mi estis iom nervoza unue,” li akceptis. “Iuj demandis se mi estis preta paŝi supren por batali lin. Mi faris iun esploron: Li ne havis pli grandan amatora kariero, aŭ batalis pli ses aŭ ok preterpasas bataloj ol mi. Kaj mi estis la sparring partnero por la unua por bati lin, Tyron Burris(TKO2 en 2012). I?? Preta! I’m 27 kaj bezonas batalo tiel.”

CHICAGO, IL (Marto 9, 2017)After stopping former world champion, Chad Dawson (34-5, 19 KOs), with a stunning tenth-round TKO, WBC #8 light-heavyweight contender, Andrzej Fonfara (29-4, 17 KOs), is welcoming challenges from everyone in the top ten.

I’m looking forward to my next fight and the possibilities that have opened up with my victory over Chad Dawson,” said Andrzej Fonfara. “My main goal is to avenge my loss toJoe Smith Jr.., but if I can’t get him in the ring, then I’m looking to face anyone in the top ten of the light-heavyweight division.
With the light-heavyweight division loaded with talent, Fonfara seeks a meaningful fight with one of the top contenders, more specifically, former WBC super-middleweight champion, Badou Jack (20-1, 12 KOs), who recently vacated his world title at 168 Funtoj.
Badou Jack seems like the perfect opponent, but I must warn him, this is not the super-middleweight division,” Fonfara continued. “Badou Jack has never faced punchers like those fighting at 175 Funtoj. He must earn his shot to a world title fight, just like I did when I was coming up. This makes for a perfect opportunity for us to fight, with the winner moving up the rankings.
