GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS SIGNS SUPERSTAR FORMER U.S. OLYMPIAN AND UNIFIED CHAMPION JOSE RAMIREZ

PhilBoxing.com




LOS ANGELES, CALIF. (January 6, 2024): Golden Boy Promotions has kicked off 2024 with another massive signing in the super lightweight division with the recruitment of former U.S. Olympian and former super lightweight World Champion Jose Ramirez (28-1, 18 KOs).

"I'm ready to be a two-time World Champion, and do it right now as well as stay active this year,” said José Ramirez. “I felt Oscar and Golden Boy could deliver both immediately as well as some big fights at this point in my career that I want. This is the most motivated I have been since I turned pro.”

“An Olympic pedigree. An incredible resumé that features two world titles. A massive and loyal fan base — José Ramirez has it all, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the Golden Boy family,” said Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya. “Our plan for Ramirez is simple: get him back in the ring quickly, keep him active against the best of the best and show the world that he is still among the cream of the crop in the super lightweight division.”

"We know our value, and had to get a plan,” said Rick Mirigian, manager to Jose Ramirez. “Golden Boy stepped up and showed that Jose would be a priority to them with the deal he was given. The fights that can now be made at 140 in house are among the best in all of the sport, as Golden Boy has now taken a strong hold on the most exciting division in boxing."

Jose Ramirez is a proud representative of Avenal, California - a small, farm-working town in the Central Valley. The 31-year-old has built an impressive resume since his professional debut in 2012 after representing the U.S. in the Olympic Games. Ramirez quickly rose to the top of the rankings and became the WBC Super Lightweight World Champion in 2018, after a unanimous decision victory against Amir Imam at Madison Square Garden in New York City. He successfully defended his title against Antonio Orozco (September 14, 2018) and Jose Zepeda (February 2, 2019). He went on to unify the WBC and WBO titles against Maurice Hooker on July 27, 2019, and successfully defended the two belts against Viktor Postol on August 29, 2020. He bounced back after his only blemish against Josh Taylor in a fight for undisputed on May 22, 202, with consecutive wins against Jose Pedraza (March 4, 2022) and Richard Commey (March 25, 2023).
