Jose Ramirez versus Richard Commey is all set for the next step, that’s weigh-in which is scheduled for today after a successful face off press conference last night.
Both Ramirez and Commey were confident ahead of their Super lightweight WBC Eliminator bout set for tomorrow 25th March in Fresno at the Save Mart Arena.
The former unified super light champion Jose Ramirez set the ball rolling and said,
“It’s always an honor for me to fight here in Fresno in front of the people who saw me grow up as a fighter. I hope to go out there on Saturday to showcase my talent in front of the people who love me the most.”
“I’ve experienced being at the top with people praising me and me being ranked at No. 1. Then, I became unified world champion when I beat Maurice Hooker. Then, all of a sudden after one loss, people started to walk away from that. But I’m just blessed that I have a beautiful family, a beautiful team, and a wonderful promotional company. That’s all I need. So, I found myself, and I realized who I am. I feel like I’m ready to show that lion that we all saw before I started getting distracted with some of the stuff that comes with being at the top. Now it’s time for me to work.”
“We’re focused on Richard Commey. This is a fight that is going to deliver a lot of excitement on Saturday.”
Former lightweight champion (IBF) Richard Commey who’s seeking to take a huge step closer to his dream of becoming a two-division world champion first expressed his excitement about his dream and the opportunity at hand
“I’m always excited to get back in the ring. This is what I do. It’s going to be an interesting fight on Saturday. I really want to become a two-time world champion, so I’m coming strong this Saturday.”
“Like Ramirez said, he’s got the ‘fire’ back in him. So, I think he really wants to get back to the top. Just like me.”
“It’s always good to represent people, especially when those people don’t have a lot of eyes on them. So, to be the focal point and represent them is an amazing feeling.”
After the press conference, Richard Commey via his twitter handle expressed gratitude to his team for how far he’s come in his career
“It’s nearly that time and I just want to thank my team, Terrance, Gary, @Mickey_Moo @neilsib Andre, Keith, @loudibella @DiBellaEnt @trboxing @Streetwisemgt for getting me here and come Saturday we’re gonna do the business🇬🇭❤️🇬🇭”
