The defense of the super lightweight champion of the World Boxing Council, José Carlos Ramírez against former champion Viktor “Iceman” Postol, will take place on May 9 at the Save Mart Arena in Fresno, California.
Ramirez (25-0, 17 KOs), 27, of Avenal, California, unified two 140-pound world titles by knocking out Maurice Hooker on July 27. He hoped to make his mandatory against Postol before the end of this year, but he injured his left hand against Hooker and had an operation in August, delaying his return.
Ukrainian Postol (31-2, 12 KOs), 35, comes from defeating Mohamed Mimoune in Las Vegas on April 27 for becoming division mandatory challenger.
