Robeisy Ramirez will be "in line" to fight for the vacant WBO featherweight title once Emanuel Navarrete moves up to super featherweight, according to his boxing promoter Bob Arum.

Mexican star Navarette is due to face Liam Wilson on February 3 for the 130lbs belt which was recently made vacant after Shakur Stevenson weighed in 1.6lbs over the permitted limit prior to his fight against mandatory challenger Robson Conceicao last September.

Ramirez, meanwhile, finds himself in the top three of the WBO's featherweight rankings following his victory over Jose Matias Romero.

The Cuban put out a beating on the Argentine in October, stopping his previous opponent in the ninth round.

And as part of a wide-ranging and honest exclusive interview with GIVEMESPORT.com, the Top Rank boss, who has promoted the likes of Muhammad Ali, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao throughout his legendary career, had nothing but praise for one of the most talented fighters on his roster.

The two-time Olympic gold medallist, who defected from Cuba before turning professional in 2018, has a record of 11 wins (7 by KO) and one defeat from his 12 pro fights.

As an amateur, he won gold medals at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics in the flyweight and bantamweight divisions respectively.

What has Bob Arum said about Robeisy Ramirez?

And when asked if he will receive a title shot before the end of the year, Arum said: "I think he's supposed to get one real quick, right?

"I mean, I think he's in line to fight for a vacant title. I think it'll be for the WBO. I mean, it's coming.

"He was on the run from the Cubans, I remember, and for some reason, we put him in there right away once we got him, you know, established in the United States, and he got beat in his first fight and I couldn't believe it.

"So luckily we got him the rematch, which he won, and he's been a house on fire ever since.

"I mean, you're right, he's tremendously talented, and he's learned to fight as like a professional and not as an amateur. Not like you know a lot of these Cubans are sort of boring. He's really exciting."

Who will Robeisy Ramirez fight next?

And according to reports, he is currently preparing to face Isaac Dogboe for the vacant belt once Navarette has given it up.

Ramirez's trainer Ismael Salas told BoxingScene.com: “Everything is pointing to a world title fight, we're looking to see if we can make his next fight for the championship.

"We have great opportunities, with Vaquero Navarrete fighting at 130 pounds. That gives us the opportunity to match those ranked at one and two for the vacant WBO title, Dogboe against Robeisy. There is nothing confirmed, but Robeisy is already in the training camp.

“I don't include myself in the decision making. I am a coach. They just give me the date, the opponent and there we go.

"I can give ideas, but I never determine management and promotion. The fundamental thing is that we have already established with Robeisy the coordination between physical preparation and boxing technique. With Larry Wade being a great coach, we've seen Robeisy's development from the moment he got to what he is today.

"Robeisy's talent is enormous, his intelligence. With the technique everything was fine, but he lacked the physical and mental, which little by little you adapt in professional boxing. We no longer fight for a medal but for a belt that means money to support the family.

"What has changed the most is the emergence of power. Dogboe is a warrior, but he has already been dropped by Jesse Magdaleno who is not a great puncher and went down with Vaquero. It has been seen that until the last bell, he does not stop fighting.

"The fight against Dogboe will be the doorway to greatness for Robeisy. With everything he's done, I can still say he's on his way to greatness. If we surpass Dogboe's challenge, we are already talking about a pound for pound fighter."
