In a high-stakes crossroads fight, former world champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez (44-1, 30 KOs) and former world title contender “King” Gabriel Rosado (26-16-1, 15 KOs) will collide in a twelve round light heavyweight matchup. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 18 and will be broadcast worldwide on DAZN. Ramirez is returning to the ring hungrier than ever after his loss against Dmitry Bivol last November 2022.
Zurdo Ramirez: “I’m glad to be back. I had a lot of time to reflect since my last fight and am looking forward to putting on a show against a very-game veteran like Gabe Rosado. Just like everyone else, I have goals, dreams and aspirations to be on top and I feel more motivated today than ever. We may get knocked off our path, but my quest for greatness will never stop. I appreciate all the love from my fans and supporters and I promise to be back with vengeance!”
Gabriel Rosado: “I’m excited to start the year off with a bang! I have a great deal of respect for Zurdo Ramírez. We’re friends, But come March 18, it’s all business. This is the kind of fight Gabriel Rosado shows up for! I will not let myself or the fans down. Thank you to Golden Boy Promotions and DAZN for the opportunity.”
Oscar De La Hoya: “This is a dangerous crossroads fight featuring the explosive Mexico vs. Puerto Rico rivalry. Zurdo will attempt to make a comeback statement against the certified dream-spoiler Gabe Rosado who has derailed the careers of various top fighters.”
Information on the venue and undercard will be shared soon.
