In July 2018, Ramírez left a Cuban National Team training camp in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

It was thought that Ramírez had defected from Cuba to become professional, following the likes of Guillermo Rigondeaux, Luiz Ortiz, Yuriorkis Gamboa and Erislandy Lara who had also defected from Cuba to become professional.

On 24 May 2019, Ramírez signed a contract to fight professionally with Top Rank.
