Robeisy Ramirez returns on May 29 after a long layoff


The former WBO 126-lb champion is scheduled to fight Asror Vokhidov on May 29, 2026 at Humo Arena in Tashkent. The event is promoted with involvement of WBC Eurasia, the Uzbekistan Professional Boxing Federation, and Lift Promotion. This will be Ramírez’s first fight since leaving Top Rank, the company that led him to a world title run.

Robeisy (14-3, 9 KOs) has been out of the ring since December 2024 when he lost his rematch against Rafael Espinoza. That defeat halted his run at the top level and left him without a clear position in the 126-pound picture. This return does not bring him back into battle, but it does make him active again after more than a year away.

He spoke about the firing last week during an appearance on the Ebro x Carlos podcast.

“It’s been a year and three months since my last fight. It’s been a productive time personally because I’ve spent time with my family, something I haven’t done in years because of work. But now I’m really keen to get back,” Robeisy said.

The opponent, Vokhidov (13-1), is a local fighter without a world-level profile. The fight represents a reset move rather than a move towards a title shot.

Cuba-born Robeisy, 32, made his intentions clear when discussing the return.

“Poor guy facing me now. He’s going to pay for all the driving and time I spent away from the ring,” he said.

The card will also include Murodjon Akhmadaliev, Lazizbek Mullojhonov, Abdumalik Khalokov and Ali Izmailov.

Ramírez is back, but it’s a rebuild in a new market, not a return to contention.
