Ramirez has defeated four, stopped two, and gone the full distance twice in his previous five matches. In his most recent bout, which took place at Save Mart Arena in Fresno, California on March 25, 2023, he knocked out Richard Commey in the eleventh round of their WBC World Super Lightweight eliminator match.
Rances Barthelemy has defeated two out of the last five opponents. In their ten-round match at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 13, 2023, he defeated Omar Juarez by a majority decision.
Almost three years after losing his WBC and WBO light welterweight titles in a unification match against Josh Taylor, the home state hero will try to get closer to a second world title shot as he makes his debut with Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions.
Ramirez will be confident in his prospects after winning back-to-back rebound fights, but he will have to overcome an opponent who, as a former two-weight world champion, is still hoping to make a run at the title.
Other bouts on the schedule include a super welterweight match between Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Thomas Dulorme, and a flyweight title defense match between Marlen Esparza and Gabriela Alaniz.
