MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV - Jose Ramirez enjoyed a big 2019 campaign. After defeating Jose Zepeda by majority decision in February, he stopped Maurice Hooker in 6 rounds in their July unification bout.

Ramirez, fresh off the most noteworthy win of his career, is more than willing to make that fight happen.
