On Saturday, June 14th in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, former two-division champion Juan Francisco “Gallo” Estrada will return to the ring after his loss last year to Jesse “Bam” Rodríguez. Estrada, age 35, with a record of 44-4 and 28 KOs, will face fellow Mexican Karim Arce (21-2-2 with 8 KO), to officially begin his bantamweight campaign. The highlights of Estrada’s title reigns were the second and third fights of his exciting trilogy with legend Román “Chocolatito González.” Their first meeting was at 108 pounds in November 2012, when the Nicaraguan González outpointed Estrada. Their rematch in March 2021 was one of the best of the year, with Estrada winning two 115-pound titles by split decision. In the final bout of their trilogy, in December 2022, Estrada defeated González by majority decision to retain his WBC crown in Glendale, Arizona.

Arce. age 28, will step up for this fight, as he also returns after a nearly year-long absence. The 27-year-old contender, originally from Los Mochis, enters this fight after defeating Kevin Villanueva at 122 pounds.

Also on the show, Camila Zamorano (11-0) will have the opportunity to become the youngest interim champion in history, as she will compete for the WBC interim atom world title. The 17-year-old Mexican will face a tough challenge against the experienced Mika Iwakawa of Japan. Iwakawa, a former IBF and WBO world champion in the atomweight (102-pound) division, holds a record of 13-7-1.
