Jose Ramirez will return to the ring for the first time in more than a year when he faces fellow former world champion Rances Barthelemy in a super lightweight contest this weekend. The action will take place at Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, United States.
Marking his debut with Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, the home state hero will look to take another step towards a second world title bid, almost three years after he lost his WBC and WBO light welterweight belts in a unification bout with Josh Taylor.
With back-to-back rebound victories in his pocket, Ramirez will fancy his chances, but he will need to get past an opponent who, as a former two-weight world champion himself, still hopes to mount his own bid for glory once more.
Elsewhere on the bill, Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Thomas Dulorme will meet in a super welterweight contest, while Marlen Esparza will defend her trio of flyweight belts against challenge Gabriela Alaniz.

Ramirez boasts a marginally more impressive record, having gone 29-1 across his career to date. The Californian has won 18 of his fights by knockout, and lost his only fight to Josh Taylor by undisputed decision in 2021.
Barthelemy meanwhile holds a 30–2–1 (1) record, though both of his career losses and his draw have come in his last seven fights. He has won 15 by knockout and 15 by decision and last fell to Gary Antuanne Russell in 2022.
Jose Ramirez last fought in March 2023, when he took on Richard Commey at the Save Mart Center, his home venue. He left it late to secure victory, requiring an 11th-round knockout, but convinced in what was his first fight for another year.
Barthelemy previously fought in May 2023, when he defeated Omar Juarez by majority decision in Las Vegas. It marked the fighter’s first bout since he lost to Russell, and helped him restore his fortunes, even as he was forced to go the distance.

Ramirez (28-1, 18 KOs) has outpointed Jose Pedraza and knocked out Richard Commey since he lost his belts to Josh Taylor by a unanimous decision in 2021. Barthelemy (30-2-1, 15 KOs) is a 38-year-old former two-division beltholder.
Ortiz has stopped all 20 of his opponents, including Fredrick Lawson in his junior middleweight debut in January. Dulorme (26-6-1, 17 KOs) is coming off a stoppage of journeyman Abrahan Peralta, which snapped a losing streak at three.
