Boxing: Jose Ramirez to Fight Albert Commey Jnr. in a Welterweight Bout

Former unified 140-pound world champion Jose Ramirez will lock horns with former lightweight world champion Richard Commey in a 12-round junior welterweight bout on Saturday, March 25, 2023 at Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.

The much awaited boxing bout between Ramirez and Commey will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.

Ramirez (27-1, 17 KOs), from Avenal, California, returns home this time round at the Save Mart Center, which has hosted six of his previous fights. Following his 2021 decision defeat to Josh Taylor for the undisputed junior welterweight title, Ramirez rebounded last March with a unanimous decision victory over former two-weight world champion Jose Pedraza.

He has been among the sport’s best 140-pound for pound boxers since winning the WBC world title over Amir Imam in March 2018. After defending that title twice, Ramirez stopped Maurice Hooker in six brutal rounds to unify the WBC and WBO titles. Ramirez retained both belts with a hard-fought majority decision over Viktor Postol in August 2020, a win that set up the Taylor showdown.
“Fresno and the Save Mart Center hold a special place in my heart, and I am blessed to be able fight in front of my Central Valley fans once again,” Ramirez said. “Richard Commey is a championship fighter with everything to gain. I expect the best version of Commey on March 25. My goal is to become champion again, and I am more motivated than ever to prove that I am the best junior welterweight in the world.”
