WBC confirms winner of Jesus Ramos Jr. vs Meiirum Nursultanov will face middleweight champion Carlos Adames

Winner of Ramos-Nursultanov gets a world title shot

The WBC officially confirmed that reigning middleweight champion, Dominican Carlos Adames, must next defend his crown against the winner of the highly anticipated clash between Mexican-American contender Jesús “Mono” Ramos Jr. and undefeated Kazakh contender Meiirim Nursultanov.

This ruling officially transforms the high-stakes showdown at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego into a definitive title eliminator to crown the green and gold belt’s mandatory challenger.

Scheduled for September 19, the bout will feature Ramos Jr. defending his interim WBC middleweight title.

A battle-tested fighter, Ramos possesses respectable stopping power and remarkable poise inside the squared circle.

Standing in his path is Nursultanov, an elite-level threat whose pristine record is built on superb technical prowess and a devastating, fundamentally sound style.

With the WBC mandate officially handed down, the heat rises for both contenders, as the last man standing this weekend secures a direct ticket to a showdown with the titleholder Carlos Adames.

The Dominican champion, widely respected for his formidable physical strength, destructive punching power, and elite Ring IQ—now awaits the survivor of this collision of contenders to headline a blockbuster affair in the middleweight division.

What have they said?

JESUS RAMOS JR.

“I’m just happy and blessed to be here and back in the ring. Come Saturday night, I’m gonna put on a show.

“I feel way stronger at middleweight. I’m enjoying those few extra pounds. I feel strong and I can’t wait until Saturday.

“Carlos Adames is in my way of those big fights and I have to get him out of the way. First I have to get Nursultanov out of the way.

“Nursultanov is brave for taking this fight off of a layoff. I’m not the same fighter I was three years ago. I’m gonna show him that it’s not that easy on Saturday night.”

MEIIRIM NURSULTANOV

“I’m ready. I’m going to show everything in the ring on Saturday night. I’m going to make the most of this opportunity.

“I’ve been preparing and waiting for this opportunity for years. I don’t care about the layoff. I’m ready and I’m hungry. I’m going to show what the Kazakh boxing school means.

“My team and I work great together and we have a plan that we’re going to execute. Then we’re gonna go right to Carlos Adames.”
