Robeisy “El Tren” Ramirez, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, says he is prepared to face former world champion Isaac Dogboe for the vacant WBO featherweight world title on Saturday, April 1 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa.
This is the Cuban southpaw’s first chance at a world title.
Ramirez stated following a recent training session
“ This is what I have always wanted and have asked for since I became a professional boxer. I see this fight as the perfect stage from which to present my credentials to the world and make the case that I am the best fighter in the featherweight division.”
“For me, life has always been about continuously being hungry. Talent alone is not enough at this level. True success means continuing to evolve, moving ahead, and conquering hurdles and failures to become great..”

Ramirez (11-1, 7 KOs) has won 11 fights since his pro debut in August of this year.
Ramirez scored three straight knockouts in 2022, stopping Irish veteran Eric Donovan and starching then-unbeaten contender Abraham Nova with a single straight left hand. He defeated Jose Matias Romero by TKO in the ninth round last October.
Ramirez, on the other hand, will welcome the toughest test of his career against Dogboe (24-2, 15 KOs), a Ghanaian former junior featherweight world champion looking to move up a weight class.
