When Sauerland Promotion opens
the doors at Ceres Arena in
Aarhus, Denmark on Saturday
March 18, one of the featured
attractions of the night will be
a fight for the vacant World
Boxing Federation (WBF) World
Heavyweight title between
undefeated Kosovo-born Erzen
Rrustemi and Ricardo Humberto
Ramirez from Argentina.
Fighting for the title in recent
times held by notables such as
Carlos Takam, Michael Grant,
Frans Botha and living legend
Evander Holyfield, 33-year-old
Rrustemi is inspired by the fact
that he can follow in the
footsteps of one of his heroes,
should he be successful in
Aarhus.
“I
would like to thank the WBF for
giving me this chance to fight
for the world Heavyweight
championship, the same title
Evander Holyfield held. Winning
this title will give me great
satisfaction”, said the 11-0 (9)
current resident of Burgsdorf in
Switzerland.
His opponent, Ricardo Humberto
Ramirez (36), brings a 14-2 (11)
ledger to the fight. Nicknamed
“El Tigre”, the man from Perito
Moreno has proved to be very
dangerous, especially in the
early rounds, and Rrustemi knows
he must be on top of his game to
emerge victorious.
“I’m
expecting a tough fight”, said
Rrustemi from his training camp.
“Ramirez is known to hit very
hard, and he always goes for the
knockout. He has faced many
strong opponents too. Of course
I will give my best, and I want
to win, with or without a
knockout.”
Rrustemi showed in his most
recent outing, last April, that
he has carried his own power up
to Heavyweight, after
campaigning most of his career
at Cruiserweight, when he
knocked out another Argentinian,
Ruben Angel Mino (31-3) in the
second round.
