It seems as if DAZN will counter-program PBC’s inaugural Prime Video PPV on March thirtieth, as WBA champion Arsen Goulamirian revealed on Instagram yesterday that he’d signed to face Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez in Los Angeles.
Goulamirian (27-0, 19 KO) is, to one of the best of my information, boxing’s least-active champion. He’s fought simply as soon as within the final 4 years, beating the undefeated Aleksei Egorov by unanimous determination in 2022. To be honest, this isn’t fully his fault; one notably weird incident final yr noticed him signal on to face Tommy McCarthy in September, just for the printed associate to thoroughly axe boxing from its programming.
Whatever the circumstances, he’ll be the underdog towards Ramirez (45-1, 30 KO), who appeared sharp in final October’s cruiserweight debut towards Joe Smith Jr.
After a lull that I’ll blame fully on Lawrence Okolie, it’s good to see the division selecting up steam once more. Between this, Jai Opetaia’s rematch with Mairis Briedis, and Chris Billam-Smith’s rematch with RIchard Riakporhe, we’re in for some good occasions over the following few months.
