Before turning professional, Venezuelan southpaw Albert Ramirez enjoyed an impressive amateur career. His journey was highlighted by a silver medal at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, leading to his participation in the 2016 Olympics, where he broke into the top 10 in the 81 kg division.
Became interim WBA light-heavyweight world champion by stopping British contender Jerome Pampellone in the seventh round in Libya.
Became WBA International light-heavyweight champion by defeating Artur Ziyatdinov by unanimous decision in his Quebec debut.
Competed at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, reaching the second round.
In 2018, he officially left the amateur ranks and won each of his first 11 professional bouts by stoppage. In his 13th fight, he captured the WBC FECARBOX light heavyweight title. Never one to pass up an opportunity, Ramirez moved up to cruiserweight for his 15th outing and claimed the WBO Global title by handing Jacob Dickson the first loss of his career.
Ramirez joined EOTTM in 2023 with a record of 15 wins, including 14 by knockout. The definition of an international fighter, he made his Eye of the Tiger debut by stopping Ricardo Luna in the fourth round of the main event at the final Commando series card in Cuernavaca, Mexico, in May 2023. That September, he dominated former world-title contender “Lenin” Castillo over 10 rounds in Monaco. He then made his Quebec debut in January 2024, earning another 10-round victory over former EOTTM fighter Artur Ziyatdinov to capture the WBA International title. His most impressive win came next: in August 2024, in Venezuela, he stopped Adam Deines in the eighth round. Deines had previously gone 10 rounds with Artur Beterbiev in a world-title fight. Following that victory, Albert Ramirez remained unbeaten in 19 outings, with 16 wins by stoppage. Heading into 2025, it appears to be only a matter of time before he gets his world-title opportunity, having earned a top-five ranking across the major sanctioning bodies—including No. 2 positions with both the WBA and WBC.
