WBA super cruiserweight world champion Goulamirian will be looking to extend his unbeaten professional record against the Mexican Ramirez. “Zurdo” has enjoyed an impressive professional career with wins against Joe Smith Jr. and two victories against Jesse Hart.

Speaking at the presser, Goulamirian was full of confidence: “I am excited to fight for the first time in the U.S. and partner with Abel Sanchez once again. It’s a great opportunity because this division is not very popular in the United States, and we get to draw attention to it. I want to thank Golden Boy for the opportunity. It is going to be a great fight. I am not like Bivol, and I will stop him.”
