Rising featherweight contender, who is in the running for 2022 Prospect of the Year, Robeisy "El Tren" Ramirez has a new opponent, Jose Matias Romero in a 10-round showdown Saturday, Oct. 29 at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden, which will serve as the co-main event to Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jamaine Ortiz. Romero will fill in for former world champion Jessie Magdaleno, who pulled out of the fight.
The bout will be available on ESPN+.
"The opponent does not matter. I will put on a show on October 29 in New York City," Ramirez said. "I have the utmost respect for Romero, who took the fight on short notice. But once we get in that ring, I am coming full steam ahead at him for the win. 'El Tren' will not be derailed."
