Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr LIVE RESULTS: Card on NOW, fight updates and time as Problem Child returns
Paul next? The big world title fight between Zurdo Ramirez Yuniel Dorticos will not only hold interest for boxing fans, but for fans of Jake Paul. Should the Problem Child win, tboth the WBA and WBC will rank him in the top 15 - making him a potential future opponent for Ramirez. "If I'm open, after this fight,' Ramirez said when asked about a fight with Paul. "I need to win. He needs to win. That's fine for me." Should he win, though, Ramirez could also turn his attention to unifying the division, where other belts are currently held by 41-year-old WBC champion Badou Jack and the imposing and undefeated IBF champ Jai Opetaia. Ramirez said: "This fight first, then anyone. If I can get all the belts, let's do it.' He also added he doesn't foresee any problems dealing with Dorticos' power. The Cuban is nicknamed Dr KO after reeling off 25 knockouts in 27 wins. 'I think I can take punches," Ramirez added, "I have the skill to beat this guy. "I'm going to prove I'm the best in this division. That's why I'm putting my belts on the line – to prove I'm the best cruiserweight. "I expect a war. I expect he's really prepared. Everyone will see why 'Zurdo' Ramirez is the champion. I'll be prepared for Dr. KO."
