Cruiserweight Champion Describes How a Fight with Usyk Could Play Out

WBA and WBO cruiserweight world champion Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez has opened up about a potential showdown with unified heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk, who currently holds the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBO titles and is a two-time undisputed champion.

– Your biggest fights could be against Benavidez, Usyk, and Opetaia. Who do you want after June?

– I’ll fight anyone. I’m a champion and I want to be the best.

– If you fought Usyk, would it be at cruiserweight or heavyweight?

– I think it would be at heavyweight. I believe that’s a great fight.

– Why?

– Because we’re both southpaws. He’s my height, and I think we move in similar ways. It would be a tough fight for both of us, said Ramirez.
