Cuban boxer Robeisy Ramírez exuded confidence as he prepares for his upcoming bout against Mexican fighter Brandon León Benítez on June 29 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami Beach, Florida. Demonstrating his focus and determination to return to his winning ways, the former featherweight champion of the World Boxing Organization shared a video on Facebook showcasing his current training and physical condition.
"I’ve had a brutal training camp with exercises I’ve never done before. We’ve been stepping it up. I’ve had intense sparring sessions and we still have three weeks to go. We’re ready!" declared the two-time Olympic gold medalist from London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro 2016. As a forewarning, the southpaw fighter added, "Miami, get ready for what’s coming."
The Cuban lost his title last December to fellow Mexican Rafael "El Divino" Espinoza in one of the best fights of 2023. Now, at 30 years old, he is eager to prove that he still has dynamite in his fists. Currently, the island pugilist holds a professional record of 13 wins, two losses, and eight knockouts, while his opponent boasts 21 victories, two losses, and nine knockouts.
After the fight was made official, Ramírez wrote on his social media, "June 29 marks the beginning of my mission to reclaim my world title and return to the top, where I know I belong. Cuba vs. Mexico once again, and I’m thrilled to have the unwavering support of the Cuban community in Miami. So bring your flag."
"It will be an electrifying event. The journey is far from over. My return will be legendary. The Train is coming back!" he added.
In July 2018, Ramírez left the Cuban boxing team’s training camp in Aguascalientes, Mexico, ahead of the Central American and Caribbean Games in Barranquilla, Colombia. Following the news, the state media vehemently criticized his actions. "Such attitudes stray from the values and discipline that have characterized our sport, which remains committed to making the greatest possible contribution to the Cuban delegation at the regional competition," read the official statement.
