If Jake Paul is seeking an opportunity to challenge for one of Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez‘s prestigious championship belts, the accomplished boxing champion has expressed his willingness to face him, as he shared with TMZ Sports. Ramirez assures fans that there is no way the popular YouTuber-turned-boxer, known as El Gallo, would emerge victorious in such a matchup.

The potential face-off between Jake Paul and Zurdo Ramirez has been generating buzz for several days. This excitement follows a recent event where Paul engaged in some spirited trash-talking directed at the WBA cruiserweight champion after his impressive victory on the Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fight card, which took place late last month.

After his climb in the WBA rankings post his victory over Chavez Jr., Paul confronted Ramirez amidst a swarm of eager boxing journalists, openly labeling him as “slow.” This direct confrontation has only heightened the anticipation for a possible match between the two fighters.

In a recent interview, Ramirez expressed his confusion regarding Paul‘s taunts, but he made it clear that if the social media sensation genuinely wishes to step into the ring with him, he would not turn down the opportunity. This willingness to engage further fuels the speculation surrounding a potential bout.

Ramirez commented, “If the financial terms are favorable, why not?” This seasoned fighter expressed that he views this matchup as an easy fight for him, emphasizing the potential for a lucrative payday. “It would be easy money,” he stated confidently.

Given his impressive record of 48-1, with 30 victories achieved by knockout, Ramirez stands out as arguably the most formidable opponent Paul would ever face. His experience and proven skills create a significant challenge for Paul, who is still navigating his own boxing career.

Despite this, Paul seems eager for the fight, and Zurdo has indicated he would be more than willing to provide that opportunity. This readiness to engage in a match against a prominent figure in the boxing world reflects Ramirez’s confidence in his abilities.

Affirming his stance, the 34-year-old Ramirez stated, “I’ll take that fight.” He reiterated, “He is straightforward cash for me,” highlighting his belief in a favorable outcome should the fight materialize.

If the anticipated showdown with Paul does not come to fruition, Zurdo expressed his eagerness to revisit a clash with Dmitry Bivol, the only fighter to have defeated him throughout his professional career. This reveals Ramirez’s desire for redemption and competitive spirit in the boxing arena.

However, he emphasized that if Paul truly wants “all of the smoke,” he is ready and willing to engage. This bold statement reinforces his competitive nature and readiness to take on any opponent who challenges him.
