Former world champion and light heavyweight contender Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez (43-0, 29 KOs) and Oscar De La Hoya, Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy hosted a press conference Monday to discuss Zurdo’s upcoming fight against former WBA interim light heavyweight world champion Dominic Boesel (32-2, 12 KOs) on Saturday, May 14. The 12-round fight will be a WBA light heavyweight final eliminator at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, CA and will be streamed live on DAZN.
Zurdo Ramirez: “I want to make a statement and get the winner from Canelo vs. Bivol, that’s the fight that I want and I need to pass through this guy first on May 14. I am really confident in myself and in my training. I knew the fight was going to be in May, but not the date, but I like to be in shape. I am always training and am ready for these big opportunities. On May 14, I will be 44-0, 30KOs no losses. I am looking for the knockout.”
Oscar de la Hoya: “Zurdo is 43-0 and he has the vision, the drive to become a world champion. He was Mexico’s first super middleweight champion, that is something we should never forget. To be 50-0 is a goal that he has, it’s exciting to see him fight. May 14 will be another difficult fight for him, but that is what he is all about.”
Zurdo, the longest standing can crusher in boxing.
They look adorable together:)
Makes you wonder how his promotional staff deals with this lunatic! Oscar that is!! As for Zurdo, his 50-0 is nothing compared to the opposition Floyd and Chavez faced!!
I always liked Zurdo’s boxing style, height and range. After he wins this fight, he will need to start daring for greatness.
We will see what develops after Canelo/Bivol. Maybe Canelo/Zurdo will heat up for a fight during September/2022.
E-Man:
– Agree w/you.
Where in the world would the interest come from to support a Canelo-Zurdo fight?
Zurdo is one handsome sonofabitch!
