John “Scrappy” Ramirez is set for his next fight against Saleto Henderson on June 28 at Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. The pair battle it out on the preliminary card, leading to Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, live on pay-per-view. The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds at super flyweight.
Previously announced for the event, “Scrappy” Ramirez (14-1, 9 KOs) aims for his second straight victory since suffering his first career defeat – a unanimous decision loss to David Jimenez in his bid to claim the WBA title last April. The 29-year-old Los Angeles native rebounded late last year, scoring a UD over Ephraim Bui.
Henderson (10-2, 7 KOs) of Indianapolis, IN looks to return to winning ways. The 25-year-old was in action in February, dropping a unanimous decision to Ricardo Sandoval, snapping his three-fight winning streak.
Most Valuable Promotions confirmed the Ramirez vs Henderson matchup on Friday.
