José “Chon” Zepeda (32-2-0, 26 ko’s) won an extraordinary war of attrition against Iván Baranchyk (20-2-0, 13 ko’s), to lift aloft the WBC super lightweight Silver Belt.
In so doing, he-also won the right to challenge the division champion, José Carlos Ramírez, whom he faced last year losing a close decision.
“I feel very good because I won an important match against a difficult opponent in Baranchyk.
“I know I am a tough fighter. I proved a lot to myself with that victory. It was a great learning experience that prepared me for the next step.
“I would love to fight Ramirez again. The first one was a very close fight, but I feel like I won it. I know that the next fight we have there will be absolutely no question,” he concluded.
