Unbeaten former WBO super middleweight champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (40-0, 26 KOs) has announced that he is now a free agent. “As I move in a different direction, I would like to thank Bob Arum and the entire Top Rank family for supporting my career and always being professional,” said Ramirez on Instagram. “I look forward to the next chapter of my life and being back in the ring this year. There are many exciting fights that can happen in the (light heavyweight) division and I’m here to take over!”
The 29-year-old Ramirez relinquished the WBO belt after five defenses and is currently rated WBC #1 and WBO #8 at light heavyweight.
Eso es todo Zurdo!! Viva Mexico
Dont hear much about Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez mixing it up with the best Middleweights in the division. He sure doesnt talk much about wanting them. Maybe another GGG that only wants B class Middleweights or Canelo. He refused a fight on Fury-Wilder under card and left TR to avoid Artur Beterbiev, Eleider Alvarez, and Oleksandr Gvozdyk
Maybe you right, but respecting your opinion I believe Ramirez got tired to be out of the big fights. Don’t forget other fighters that leaving Top Rank was a great decision for them, like Mikey Garcia, Mayweather and some others. Under Matchroom he might get at least two high profile fights, being one of them against Canelo Alvarez (I would put my money on Ramirez if this fight ever happens)
