Zurdo Prepares for Title Eliminator With Bitcoin.com

Gilberto Ramirez, the 30-year-old former WBO super middleweight champion, with five title defenses at 168 pounds in his impressive 42-0 career, is now two fights away from the World Boxing Association (WBA) belt in the 175-pound, light heavyweight category. On Saturday, Dec. 18, ‘Zurdo de Oro’ (Golden Southpaw) will step into the ring in a match that will determine the challenger for the title.

Ramirez will face Cuban veteran Yunieski Gonzalez, 36, in the main event of a DAZN card that will be aired live from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. The stakes are very high — the winner will meet Dmitry Bivol, also 30 and undefeated, who is holding the WBA light heavyweight belt since 2017. The Kyrgyz-born Russian has a 19-0 record.

Bitcoin.com proudly sponsors Gilberto’s journey to the top in the light heavyweight division. This partnership deal is one that Zurdo and the crypto company find exciting and promising. Bitcoin.com recently set Zurdo up with a Bitcoin.com Wallet and sent him some bitcoin cash (BCH).

” We are excited to reach new audiences and partner with an undefeated fighter who may have a shot at a title fight,” said Dennis Jarvis, Bitcoin.com CEO.

Ramirez expressed his gratitude for the support on Instagram, noting his interest in crypto and stating “there’s no better way to buy, sell, trade, invest, and spend than with Bitcoin.com.” In comments sent to Bitcoin.com News, the boxing star revealed he believes this is the beginning of a long-term relationship and shared his hope to bring great value to it. Zurdo stated also:

I’m excited to be part of the Bitcoin.com team. It is a privilege and blessing to work with such an innovative company in an industry I have studied for a while. Since I was a child of crypto, I have been a strong believer for many years. I couldn’t imagine a better team than Bitcoin.com to partner with.

The Golden Southpaw will try to unify titles at 175 before moving up a weight class. He spoke to the boxing media this week and said that he feels comfortable at light heavyweight, but would eventually need to move up to cruiserweight. The team at Bitcoin.com wishes Gilberto all the best in his fight to keep going on what has been a remarkable career for a professional fighter in his prime.
