Undefeated light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol will be back in the ring this weekend as he looks to back up his upset victory over Canelo Alvarez against Gilberto Ramirez.
Bivol defended his WBA (Super) title against the great Canelo with an brilliant display in their blockbuster clash in May.
Now, the 31-year-old Russian is ready for another mandatory defence, this time against ‘Golden Southpaw’ Ramirez.
The Mexican has an incredible record of 44 wins and no defeats and beat Dominic Boesel last time out in May.
Ramirez is a former WBO super middleweight champion and will now be looking to pull off a shock win against Bivol.

Bivol vs Ramirez: What’s been said?
Dmitry Bivol: “Ramirez is a good fighter because he has 44 victories in 44 fights, he has good body punches, he makes the weight well, he’s confident.
“I think, first of all, it will be a great fight because we both want to win. We both don’t know what losing is, and when people are well matched it’s an amazing fight.
“I wanted to fight him maybe three or four years ago and I said to my team, ‘Let’s make this fight.’
“He was a champion at super-middleweight… I wanted to fight against another champion, then he has zero losses, it’s a good challenge for me.
“What do I want to achieve? First of all, I want to realise my potential and the potential inside of me. I feel there is still more to be realised.
“Second, of course, I want more belts. I want to make history and I want to be remembered in boxing as a good boxer, as a smart boxer.”
