Undefeated Mexican fighter Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramírez signed a promotional deal with Golden Boy Promotions for multiple fights.
Mexican Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs), 29, won the WBO super middleweight belt but decided to jump to light heavyweight after five title defenses, where he has won two fights.
“They understood the goals and agendas I set for myself and I have complete confidence in Oscar [De La Hoya] and the team to bring out big fights, ”said Ramírez. “I look forward to working closely with them in this new chapter of my career.”
Ramírez’s goal is a final shot for the world title. The last time he had a belt, he beat Jesse Hart in a majority decision in 2018 to keep his super middleweight crown.
Artur Beterbiev has the WBC and IBF lightweight belts and Dimitry Bivol wears the WBA belt. None of the fighters have lost in their careers. Beterbiev is fighting next month, while Bivol hasn’t fought since 2019.
Ramírez is the first super middleweight champion in Mexican boxing history.
