Fresno, California –  USA Olympian, WBC Continental Americas champion and undefeated JOSE RAMIREZ(18 -0, 13 KOs) will headline a Top Rank Championship event on Friday, December 2 at the SAVE MART CENTER ARENA in Fresno.

The previous card at Save Mart Center was Dec. 5 of last year, also headlined by Ramirez, and was a sell out at 13,100 – with 1,600 turned away.

One of the most prestigious arenas in America, ‘Venues Today,’ a leading trade publication listed Save Mart Center among its ‘Top Stops’ for venues in the 10,000 to 15,000 capacity category. The venue came in as the No. 1 ranked collegiate venue, the No. 4 in the U.S. and No. 12 in the world based on concert grosses. Save Mart Center was one of seven SMG-managed arenas to rank in the Top 10 in this size category.
