Dmitry Bivol And Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez LOCKED IN Ahead Of World Title Clash

Written by Jared Parry on 4th November 2022.

Dmitry Bivol (20-0) and Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez (44-0) faced off for the final time ahead of their world title clash tomorrow in Abu Dhabi.

Bivol will be defending his WBA light heavyweight title against the undefeated Mexican, as the pair tipped the scales this afternoon. The champion weighed in at 174.7lbs, whilst his challenger weighed in at 174.6lbs. The pair endured in a long, intense face-off before touching knuckles in respect.

The champion carries a lot of momentum coming into this bout, as he is coming off the back of a monster-upset victory over Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez back in May, which saw him weigh in at nearly the same weight as he tipped the scales at 174.6lbs back then. ‘Zurdo’ will be campaigning at light-heavyweight for a sixth time, as he previously fought at super middleweight, which saw him hold the WBO title back in 2018.

Somebodies ‘0’ has got to go tomorrow night when these two undefeated light heavyweights do battle at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. This unmissable clash can be watched live and exclusively on DAZN.
