Newly crowned WBO world featherweight world champion Robeisy Ramirez (12-1, 7 KOs) did not waste his time targeting big fights following his world title win over Isaac Dogboe ( 24-3 15KOs). Ramirez produced a dominant and efficient display against Dogboe and finally delivered on his potential following a debut defeat in 2019. The two-time Olympic gold medalist, Ramirez, would drop Dogboe in the twelfth round before claiming a unanimous decision with scores of 117-110, 119-108 & 118-109 in Tulsa, AZ

Post-fight, Ramirez spoke about how he plans to target the likes of Michael Conlan & Luis Alberto Lopez (IBF world featherweight champion) while paying tribute to trainer Ismael Salas. Ramirez would link up with Salas on the recommendation from Yordenis Ugas following his shock debut defeat. However, Ramirez feels his win will be a new chapter of his life.

“I’m living a new stage in my life. This is a new history that I’m writing, and I did everything I had to do. As an Olympian, I won two Olympic gold medals, and now I can call myself a champion.”

“All the respect to a warrior like Isaac Dogboe. He has my admiration, and all it took was me listening to this genius, Ismael Salas, because I did that, and he led me to victory.

“I believe things happened for a reason. If it wasn’t for that loss in my pro debut, I would have never ended up with Ismael Salas. Yordenis Ugas never would’ve told me, ‘You have to move to Vegas, you have to change your life,’ and I never would have gotten this team together to be where I am today.

“I want all the guys, whether it’s Joet Gonzalez who had a great performance tonight or the other champions, Luis Alberto Lopez or Mick Conlan. Whoever they put in front of me, I want all the great fights.”
