[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez is officially set for his Golden Boy Promotions debut. As previously reported by BoxingScene.com, the unbeaten former super middleweight titlist is due to return to the ring July 9 in a light heavyweight crossroads bout versus Miami's Sullivan Barrera. The fight is paired with a recently agreed upon lightweight clash between Joseph 'JoJo' Diaz and Javier Fortuna. Both fights will air live on DAZN at a yet-to-be-named venue in Los Angeles, Golden Boy announced Tuesday. The show will mark Ramirez's first fight since signing with the Los Angeles-based promotional outfit earlier this year. "There are a lot of major players in the light heavyweight division right now, and Gilberto Ramirez is ready to demonstrate that he is very much among them," said Oscar De La Hoya, chairman and CEO of Golden Boy. "Sullivan Barrera possesses a decorated amateur background and has a lot of experience in this weight class, but Ramirez is totally committed to becoming a two-division champion. "Zurdo's world title campaign and his journey to 50-0 will start on July 9."

Ramirez and Barrera is a meaningless fight. Barrera is almost 40 years old and has lost almost half of his last 8 fights and is way past it.

Golden Boy stepping it up for this one. Pretty solid card.

I'm pretty sure he would've fought for the wbo light heavyweight title if he wouldve stuck with top rank .
