Jose Ramirez makes his 2024 debut on April 27 with a headline fight against Rances Barthelemy, live on DAZN.
Ramirez was last in action in March 2023, when he earned an 11th-round knockout win over Richard Commey. That result extended Ramirez's win streak to two after he lost an undisputed super lightweight title bout to Josh Taylor in 2021, and the American is looking to put himself back into the title conversation.
He'll face Cuban veteran Barthelemy, who was also victorious his last time out. The 37-year-old earned a majority decision victory against Omar Juarez in May 2023 and he now seeks a landmark victory against former unified champion Ramirez.
