Former unified champion Jose Ramirez has earned another shot at the WBC super-lightweight title after beating Richard Commey with an 11th-round knockout.
Ramirez, who was returning to the ring after a one-year lay-off, defeated former lightweight world champion Commey in the eliminator on Saturday evening at the Save Mart Arena in Fresno, California.

From the first round, Ramirez tried to overwhelm Ghanaian Commey with constant offence and the 30-year-old pushed Commey to the ropes in every round to throw straight right hands, hooks and uppercuts. He eventually prevailed in the 11th when Commey was counted out after the second of two knockdowns in the round.
