Former World Super Middleweight Champion Gilberto Ramirez (44-1, 30 KOs) will have his next professional fight on October 7 in Las Vegas against the former world light heavyweight champion Joe Smith (28-4, 22 KOs). This was reported by American journalist Dan Raphael.
The fight must take place at a catch weight of 190 pounds. For both fighters, this will be their cruiserweight debut.
For Smith, this will be the first performance after last year's defeat from Artur Beterbiev. The last time Zurdo boxed was in November, losing on points to Dmitry Bivol in a fight for the WBA light heavyweight belt.
In March, Ramirez was supposed to meet with Gabriel Rosado, but the fight was canceled due to the superiority of the fighter from Mexico, who could not fit into the weight category up to 79 kg.
