On April 27, Jose Ramirez will make his 2024 debut live on DAZN in the main event against Rances Barthelemy.
When Ramirez faced Richard Commey in March 2023, he defeated him via knockout in the eleventh round. Ramirez’s winning streak now stands at two after losing to Josh Taylor in an undisputed super lightweight title fight in 2021. The American fighter is hoping to re-enter the title race.
He will take on Barthelemy, a seasoned Cuban fighter who triumphed in his previous match. In May 2023, the 37-year-old defeated Omar Juarez via majority decision, and he is now aiming for a historic triumph over the former unified champion Ramirez.
