Golden Boy Promotions announced on Thursday a special partnership deal with Hollywood Park that will commence with Saturday’s clash between cruiserweight titleholder Arsen Goulamirian and Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez.
The multi-year, multi-event agreement solidifies Golden Boy’s commitment to bringing local and international boxing stars and events to the heart of the Los Angeles sports scene and leverages the diverse programming at SoFi Stadium, YouTube Theater and across Hollywood Park. As Golden Boy continues its expansion plans throughout 2024 and beyond, this partnership will ensure that fight fans can experience boxing events year-round in the Los Angeles area.
“Golden Boy and Hollywood Park share a vision of bringing the highest quality of events to the Los Angeles region,” said Golden Boy chairman and CEO Oscar De La Hoya. “We were the first to host an inaugural combat sports event at YouTube Theater in January 2023, and we couldn’t be more pleased to make history again by being the first to solidify a partnership deal of this magnitude with Hollywood Park.”
Said Adolfo Romero, vice president of programming and booking for YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park: “YouTube Theater is the first Los Angeles venue to ink a multi-year agreement with a boxing promoter, showcasing our commitment to this sport and leveraging our year-round events at SoFi Stadium and across Hollywood Park to continue our diverse programming strategy.”
The agreement was announced at Thursday’s final press conference ahead of Saturday’s card at YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California. Armenia’s Goulamirian (27-0, 19 KOs) will meet Mexico’s Ramirez (45-1, 30 KOs) in a scheduled 12-round main event, which will be broadcast live on DAZN.
