Juan Francisco “El Gallo” Estrada and Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez III, to be announced soon.
Both campaigns were in the super flyweight division and had two stand-out back-and-forth games, leaving fans in their seats for the entire 24 innings.
Estrada has been out of action since their last meeting in March 2021, a match he won via split decision to retain his WBA ‘Super’ strap in the process.
The news broke earlier this week that the 32-year-old has now vacated the title raising ‘Normal’ champion Joshua Franco to ‘Super’.
Meanwhile, the multi-division world champion Gonzalez’s final match was a decisive win in the losing side to WBC flyweight champion Julio Cesar Martinezwho is stepping up to the weight class to challenge the old general 51-3.
Earlier this year, Gonzalez and Estrada were scheduled to fight for the third time, only for the second category to withdraw after testing positive for Covid-19.
Estrada spoke to DAZN earlier this week and announced that he was returning to practice for a potential trio battle with rival Chocolatito:
“The war with Roman Gonzalez is still going on. We had a bit of a battle on dates, first he had coronavirus, then me. And so far that has not happened. But we are looking at November or December”.
