In his most recent bout last November, Benavidez defended his WBC Light Heavyweight Championship when he stopped Anthony Yarde in round 7. This will be his first fight at cruiserweight, and it is the biggest jump that can be made in terms of maximum weight limits – 25 pounds between the 175 limit at light heavyweight, and the 200 pound limit.
For Ramirez, his last fight was way back in June of last year, when he won a 12-round unanimous decision against Yuniel Dorticos to defend his unified cruiserweight championship. Since making the jump to cruiserweight, Ramirez is on a 4-fight winning streak. The only loss in his professional career came at 175, against the reigning king of the light heavyweight division, Dmitri Bivol.
Who will win the upcoming cruiserweight championship fight between David Benavidez and Gilberto Ramirez?
This issue of Rummy’s Corner will try to answer that question and give a quick preview for the fight.
May has been one stacked month over at DAZN. On the 2nd of May, the same day that Benavidez Zurdo will challenge, we have the big showdown between undefeated Japanese prizefighters, Junto Nakatani against undisputed junior featherweight king, the one and only Naoya Inoue.
Also in May we have Wardley vs. Dubois, Usyk vs. Rico, Hrgovic vs. Allen, the return of Keyshawn Davis vs. Albright, the return of Dmitry Bivol, and MORE! It’s a great schedule at DAZN in May, and with three of those fights being PPV, there’s no better time to sign up for the DAZN Ultimate Tier, where you pay one price and get all three of those PPVs included in your subscription.
