Victor Emilio Ramírez (born March 30, 1984) is an Argentine former professional boxer. He held the WBO cruiserweight title in 2009 and the IBF cruiserweight from 2015 to 2016. Ramirez announced his retirement in December 2016.
Ramirez made his professional boxing debut at the age of 22 as a heavyweight on April 8, 2006 against 32 year old Miguel Angel Pacheco at the Estadio Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ramirez won the fight via unanimous decision after four rounds. Ramirez then fought three times in the space of five months at the Club El Porvenir in San Miguel del Monte, Buenos Aires winning all fights inside the distance against Roberto Martinez, Jose Norberto Gomez and Mario Javier Moreno. Ramirez suffered his first defeat on his 7th fight in December 2006 against Sebastian Ignacio Ceballos via majority decision with judges scores of 56-59, 56-57 and 57½-57½.
Ramirez took six months out before returning in June 2007 against Claudio Carlos Roque Fernandez, who outweighed Ramirez by over 100 pounds. In a scheduled six round bout, the fight ended as no contest in round two as the ring crumbled by the weight of the boxers and the referee. Over the next year, Ramirez racked up a five fight win streak before winning his first title at cruiserweight against Mauro Adrian Ordiales (20-4, 19 KOs), retiring him after 11 rounds. Ramirez claimed the vacant South American cruiserweight title with the win. His next fight in December 2008, Ramirez retained the title and won the vacant WBO Latino cruiserweight title with a 2nd round knockout off Hector Ricardo Sotelo. Sotelo was down twice in the 1st round & once in the 2nd round.
Ramirez fought the undefeated Alexander Alekseev (16-0, 15 KOs) at the Burg-Waechter Castello in Düsseldorf, Germany on January 17, 2017 for the vacant interim WBO World cruiserweight title. Alekseev entered as the WBO # 2 cruiserweight contender, while Ramirez entered as the WBO # 7 cruiserweight contender. Alekseev's corner threw in the towel after round 9, giving Ramirez his first world title.
