The news comes after a year-long hiatus for Jose Ramirez, who last graced the ring in a bout against Richard Commey in March 2023. Now, under the banner of Golden Boy Promotions, Ramirez is set to reignite his career with a showdown against Cuban boxer Rances Barthelemy. With the fervent support of his fans behind him, Ramirez is determined to reclaim his status as a two-time world champion.
Meanwhile, Vergil Ortiz Jr., fresh off a resounding victory over Fredrick Lawson earlier this year, will be looking to maintain his unblemished record as he takes on the formidable Thomas Dulorme. As the current WBA Gold Welterweight champion, Ortiz Jr. is no stranger to the spotlight, and his clash with Dulorme is poised to be nothing short of electrifying.
Ramirez hoped to receive “some big fights” immediately, Oscar De La Hoya, the CEO of GBP, promised to keep the former “active against the best of the best“.
Adding to the excitement is Joseph Diaz Jr., who is eager to bounce back from a recent setback and showcase his unwavering resilience in the ring. Despite a tough loss in February, Diaz Jr. remains undeterred as he prepares to face off against Oscar Duarte in what promises to be a thrilling undercard matchup.
With the date and venue set for April 27 in Fresno, California, anticipation is reaching fever pitch as fight fans eagerly await the moment when these three boxing titans step into the ring. As the countdown begins, one thing is certain: this event will be etched into the annals of boxing history as a night to remember.
