Ramirez knocked out Maurice Hooker in July 2019 to unify world titles and defended his belts last August with a majority decision over former world champion Viktor Postol.

Taylor toppled Postol by unanimous decision in 2018 and won the IBF world title the following year with a decision over Ivan Baranchyk.

He unified the IBF and WBA titles in October 2019, edging Regis Prograis by majority decision in a brutal masterpiece.

He made his first defense as a unified champion last September, blasting out mandatory challenger Apinun Khongsong in the first round.

Taylor vs. Ramirez: What is the undisputed title?

The winner of the Taylor-Ramirez fight will join some rare company. During the four-belt era,

there have been only four undisputed champions in men’s boxing: Oleksandr Usyk (cruiserweight),

Bernard Hopkins (middleweight), Jermain Taylor (middleweight) and Terence Crawford (junior welterweight).

A unified champion holds two or more of the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO belts in a single division,

while an undisputed champ holds all four at the same time.

The gold journey of Taylor (17-0, 13 KOs) took place at the World Boxing Super Series where he won the IBF title with a unanimous decision over Ivan Baranchyk in 2019 .

and narrowly got by the previously undefeated Regis Prograis in the WBSS finals to add the WBA (Super) and vacant The Ring championship.
