Albert Ramón Ramírez Durán (born 7 May 1992), known as Albert Ramírez, is a Venezuelan professional boxer. He has held the WBA interim light-heavyweight title since August 2025.

Career

[edit]

Amateur career

[edit]

As an amateur he competed in the light heavyweight division at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[citation needed]

Ramírez had a distinguished amateur career, competing primarily in the light-heavyweight division. He represented Venezuela at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, where he secured a bronze medal after a highly competitive tournament. Later that year, he achieved his biggest amateur milestone by winning the gold medal at the 2015 Pan American Boxing Championships.

In 2016, Ramírez qualified for the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Competing in the light-heavyweight bracket, he won his opening bout against Russian boxer Petr Khamukov but was subsequently eliminated in the Round of 16 by Algeria's Abdelhafid Benchabla.

Professional career

[edit]

Ramírez turned professional in 2018 and compiled a record of 21–0 before defeating Jerome Pampellone by seventh round technical knockout to win the WBA interim light-heavyweight title at Benina Martyrs Stadium in Benghazi, Libya, on 8 August 2025.[1][2]

Ramirez was scheduled to make the first defense of his title against Lerrone Richards at Montreal Casino in Montreal, Canada, on 5 February 2026.[3] However, the fight was cancelled when Ramírez was hospitalised due to appendicitis two days before the event.[4][5] The bout was rescheduled to take place at the same venue on 4 June 2026.[6] Ramírez won by split decision with the judges' scorecards reading 115–113, 115–113 and 112–116.[7][8]

On June 4, 2026, Ramírez made his first successful title defense against British challenger Lerrone Richards at the Casino de Montréal in Montreal, Canada. In a highly tactical and grueling contest, Ramírez struggled early with Richards' elusive movement and frequent clinching, but pushed the pace in the later rounds. He managed to secure a close split decision victory, with two judges scoring the bout 115–113 in his favor, while the third had it 116–112 for Richards.[9] Following the bout, Richards' promotional team, Boxxer, expressed strong disagreement with the official scores and announced their intention to file a formal appeal with the WBA.[10]
