Albert Ramirez (22-0, 19 KO) defeated Jerome Pampellone (19-3, 12 KO) by technical knockout in the ninth round during a boxing evening in Libya and won the interim title of world champion by WBA in the light heavyweight division.
Before the stoppage, the Venezuelan clearly dominated, forcing his opponent to cling to the ropes and winning every round. The Briton was knocked down three times - once in the sixth round and twice in the seventh.
The champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA) in the weight category up to 79 kilograms is Dmitry Bivol. This was already Ramirez’s third victory this year.
