The head of Matchroom Boxing promotion Eddie Hearn believes that Mexican Gilberto Ramirez will be the toughest test in the career for Russian Dmitry Bivol.
Bivol is definitely about to face one of the toughest fights of his professional career. Gilberto Ramirez is a natural light heavyweight and also a former world champion. Like Bivol, he's never lost a fight yet, and he wants to establish his own legacy in this sport.
