Former world champion Jose Ramirez (26-1, 17 KOs) and Jose Pedraza (29-3, 14 KOs) faced off at the final press conference for their junior welterweights clash on Friday night at Fresno’s Save Mart Center. The winner will likely receive a world title shot next.

Jose Ramirez: “My goal is to stay at the highest level of competition. My goal is to become a world champion again. You have to fight the best to be ready for those fights. I don’t want any easy fights. I don’t want to be fighting fights that are going to be tuneup fights.”

Jose Pedraza: “I definitely recovered a hundred percent {from COVID}. If that wasn’t the case you wouldn’t be seeing me facing Jose Ramirez in this great fight. It would mean a lot becoming champion for a third time. It would put my name along with the legends of Puerto Rico, and it would mean lot for the island, too.”

  • Tank Davis banged out Pedraza; now watch Ramirez go through hell and back against Pedraza, but should win. Tank also banged out another larger fighter in Mario Berrios as well, who is probably on equal footing to Ramirez, who gave Josh Taylor a tough fight. Taylor is overrated and Tank bangs him out too, facts. Tank is the number one junior welter in the world and he doesn’t even fight in that weight class, facts.

  • Looking forward to this match-up. Should be an interesting, and hopefully entertaining, fight.

  • War is written all over this fight ! I hope lol ! Both are warriors but I give the edge to Ramirez the better boxer overall..
