Gilberto Ramírez To Face The #1 WBA Rated Light
Heavyweight Dominic Boesel On May 14
Former world champion and light heavyweight Mexican boxing
star Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramírez (43-0, 29 KOs) of Mazatlán,
Mexico, will face former WBA Interim Light Heavyweight World
Champion Dominic Boesel (32-2, 12 KOs) of Freyburg, Germany
on Saturday, May 14. The 12-round fight will pit the WBA #1
ranked, Boesel against the #2 WBA ranked Ramirez in a winner
takes all event that will propel the winner to the door of a
world championship fight. The co-main event will feature one
of the most exciting Mexican boxers in the lightweight
division, the undefeated William "El Camaron" Zepeda (25-0,
23 KOs), defending his WBA Continental Americas Lightweight
Title against the resilient, former world champion, Rene "Gemelo"
Alvarado (32-11, 21 KOs) of Managua, Nicaragua in a 10-round
lightweight fight. The event will take place at Toyota Arena
in Ontario, CA, and will stream live exclusively on DAZN.
"I'm excited to be fighting back in California," said
Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramírez. "May 14 is not too far away, and I
feel great about how everything is going. I know Dominic is
the best light heavyweight from Germany, and he'll bring his
best. This is a good step towards my overall goal, and I'm
glad I'll be able to put on a great show come fight night."
"I'm looking forward to going to California for a great
fight against a tough opponent in 'Zurdo' Ramirez," said
Dominic Boesel. "I'm sure this fight will please the boxing
fans worldwide watching live on DAZN."
After spectacular back-to-back knockout victories over
Cuba's Sullivan Barrera in July 2021 and Yunieski "El
Monstro" Gonzalez in December 2021, Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez
is knocking on the door of a world championship title shot
when he faces #1 WBA ranked Dominic Boesel. 'Zurdo' is
committed to continuing his winning and knockout streaks as
he proves that he is an elite, feared fighter in the light
heavyweight division. Having previously held the WBO Super
Middleweight World Championship, 'Zurdo' is ready to conquer
another weight class on his road to glory.
Ranked #1 by the WBA and #5 by the WBC in the light
heavyweight division, Dominic Boesel formerly held the WBA
Interim Heavyweight World Championship in 2020 and currently
holds the IBO World Light Heavyweight Title. The German
fighter is set to make his U.S. debut on May 14 and is
determined to make a good showing for the passionate SoCal
boxing fans. Defeating 'Zurdo' will cement his standing in
the world rankings, putting him closer to another world
title shot. Having faced previous undefeated fighters like
Sami Enborn and Tony Averlant and winning multiple regional
titles like the WBA Continental Light Heavyweight Title and
WBO Continental Light Heavyweight Title, Boesel is ready to
prove he is the best at 175lbs.
