Ramirez has already been approached with the potential for making his first protection in Miami, which has a big Cuban group.
“[Top Rank’s CEO Bob Arum] requested me what I considered a primary protection in Miami. That might be one thing. That might be nice for my profession, as a result of I do know the combat goes to be packed. Cubans are very keen on sports activities and I, with my outcomes and with my profession, have steadily crept into the hearts of Cubans. I do know they will take the time even when they do not have it to look at my combat. I am positive a combat in Miami goes to promote nicely,” Ramirez instructed George Ebro.
Ramirez is hoping the world title win will result in main fights sooner or later.
One future chance is a showdown with two-division champion Shakur Stevenson.

Due to their mutual promoter in Prime Rank, Ramirez and Stevenson have turn into very pleasant – however their friendship will not forestall a future encounter – in the event that they ever discover themselves in the identical weight class.
“Shakur desires to face me and that may be a matter of somebody desirous to take away a thorn from their facet, however we now have each grown quite a bit. He’ll proceed to develop. For the cameras, for the present, to promote himself, he reveals himself as he ought to: a bit boastful. They like that within the American market, however personally he’s an incredible fighter,” Ramierz stated.
“We’ve got an incredible relationship. We speak quite a bit on Instagram. For the Valdez combat he requested me if I knew of any sparring companions right here in Las Vegas so he might work. He arrived that day, he began coaching. It appears that he’s nicely centered. Afterwards we had an opportunity to speak. We discuss our respective fights. I needed to play ping pong, however we could not. They are saying if he does not win, he does not go away the fitness center. So, it’s about rather more than a publicity photograph for him.”
