“Tiger” clause for  “Zurdo” Ramirez

Undefeated   former super middleweight champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez will end a long layoff, with a return to the ring on December 19th, fighting Alfonso “El Tigre” López, for the NABF light heavyweight title live on Fite TV, from a location to be determined.

The event will be presented by the respective promotional companies of the two main event fighters, Promociones Zurdo and Promociones El Tigre.

Ramirez (40-0, 26KOs) has not fought since defeating Tommy Karpency last April in Los Angeles. The victory marked his light heavyweight debut after making five successful defenses of the super middleweight title that he claimed in an April 2016 victory over Arthur Abraham in Las Vegas.

Lopez (32-3, 25KOs) has earned his stripes  with a 10 win streak, including three victories in 2019. Most of his career has taken place in his home state of Texas.

The upcoming fight with Ramirez will end a yearlong  layoff for Lopez, who scored a 10-round decision over Denis Grachev last November.
