Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez will make the move to cruiserweight in his next fight, which comes up against Joe "Common Man" Smith Jr. on October 7.
Former WBO super middleweight champion Ramirez (44-1, 30 KOs) was last in the ring in November 2022, when he suffered his first loss in a light heavyweight bout against Dmitry Bivol.
He now moves to cruiserweight, where he'll take on former WBO light heavyweight champion Smith (28-4, 22 KOs), who himself is coming off a loss. Smith was defeated by Artur Beterbiev in June 2022, a fight that also resulted in the loss of the WBO belt.
With both men eager to get back to winning ways, this could be an explosive encounter.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of Zurdo vs. Smith.
The event is set to get underway at 9 p.m. ET / 2 a.m. UK with the main event ringwalks still to be determined.
