Jesus Ramos Jnr dropped back in middleweight title line after recent withdrawal

Something fishy cost Jesus Ramos Jnr a chance to defend his WBC interim middleweight title last month. What happened afterward might also feel a little rotten to him. Instead of holding Ramos’ place in line for a title shot in victory at full champion Carlos Adames, the WBC last week greeted Adames’ move to Zuffa Boxing by ruling he can take a non-title 165lbs fight for his Zuffa debut, and then meet top-ranked contender Meiirim Nursaltanov after that.
