Arsen Goulamirian, the WBA cruiserweight champion, is poised for a significant U.S. debut as he prepares to defend his title against Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez. This eagerly awaited match is scheduled for March 30 and will be featured on DAZN, taking place at the YouTube Theater, Los Angeles.

Goulamirian, boasting an undefeated record, has remained largely inactive in recent years due to a combination of injuries and legal issues, with his last fight being a unanimous decision victory over Aleksei Egorov in November 2023. This upcoming bout marks a welcome return to action for the Armenia-born fighter who now resides and trains in Big Bear, California.

On the other side, Gilberto Ramirez transitions to the cruiserweight division following a successful career at lighter weights, including holding the WBO super middleweight title. His cruiserweight debut saw him securing a points win over former WBO light heavyweight titlist Joe Smith Jr., setting the stage for this title contention.

The fight serves as an alternative to the previously ordered mandatory defense against Yuniel Dorticos for Goulamirian. It represents a pivotal moment for both fighters: Goulamirian aims to cement his status as a dominant force in the cruiserweight division, while Ramirez seeks to prove his prowess in a new weight class and possibly set up a showdown with Dorticos in the future.

In the co-main event, Alexis Rocha (23-2, 15 KOs) faces off against Fredrick Lawson (30-4, 22 KOs) in a pivotal welterweight bout scheduled for 10 rounds.

After a disappointing loss to Giovani Santillan last October, the 26-year-old southpaw from Santa Ana, Rocha, is eager to return to the win column. Rocha has expressed his determination to embark on a "revenge tour," using his previous defeat as motivation to reach his full potential in the sport.

Lawson, the 34-year-old from Accra, Ghana, also seeks a return to form following a first-round stoppage by Vergil Ortiz Jr. in January. Grateful for the opportunity presented by Golden Boy Promotions and confident in his abilities, Lawson aims to prove his worth against Rocha.

The card also boasts several promising bouts, including a 10-round flyweight fight between Ricardo Sandoval (23-2, 16 KOs) of Rialto and Luis Cerrito Hernandez (13-6-1, 8 KOs) of Mexico. Additionally, Santiago Dominguez (26-0, 20 KOs) of Fort Worth, Texas, will compete in a welterweight bout against Jose Luis Sanchez (14-3-1, 4 KOs) of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
