Albert Ramirez to Face Michael Flannery in Catchweight Main Event This Thursday on ESPN+

Undefeated Venezuelan knockout artist Albert Ramirez returns to the ring this Thursday, June 5, to headline a stacked card at Casino de Montréal in Montreal, Canada. He’ll square off against British contender Michael Flannery in a 10-round main event at a 182-pound catchweight.

The event, promoted by Eye of the Tiger, will stream live exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+, beginning at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT.

Main Event: Albert Ramirez vs. Michael Flannery

Ramirez (20-0, 17 KOs), a 2016 Olympian for Venezuela, turned professional in 2018 and quickly made waves with 10 straight knockout victories. Known for his power and relentless style, he has only gone the distance three times in his career. Most recently, Ramirez scored a dominant third-round TKO over Marko Calic in February to open his 2025 campaign.

Flannery (13-0, 11 KOs), a heavy-hitting Brit who now resides in Thailand, has built a reputation as a dangerous puncher with a high knockout rate. In January, he captured the WBC Asian Light Heavyweight Title with an emphatic third-round stoppage of Rattawut Thongaram.

With both fighters boasting serious power and undefeated records, the stakes are high—and a knockout finish seems likely.
