Matchroom loads up March 13th show in Dallas

World champion Jessica McCaskill and Cecelia Braekhus will rematch for the four-belt world welterweight championship on a stacked card on March 13th at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The DAZN broadcast will be topped by the WBC 115-pound championship rematch between Juan Francisco Estrada and Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez. New Matchroom signing Hiroto Kyoguchi will make it a world title triple header, defending his WBA light flyweight title against Axel Vega (14-3-1 8 KOs).
 
McCaskill (9-2 3 KOs) ripped the belts from the Norwegian star on the streets of downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma in August. She handed Braekhus her first pro loss via majority decision to become a two-weight champion in just her 11th pro fight. Braekhus (36-1 9 KOs) was denied a record-breaking night with McCaskill preventing her from recording her 25th consecutive successful title defense, but she activated the rematch clause and will now go for revenge in the Lone Star state against the Chicagoan.
 
“I’m very focused on regaining all of my undisputed belts on March 13th in the rematch against Jessica,” said Braekhus. “It will be a very special night in Dallas for my supporters and for all of my worldwide fans who can watch the fight on the DAZN.”
 
“This is a huge night of boxing in Dallas,” said Hearn. “Cecilia and Jessica will put it all on the line in their rematch for the undisputed Welterweight title and Hirotu is a fighter that I am excited to see explode onto the big stage under the guidance of his manager Eddy Reynoso and Matchroom.
 
“With a brilliant main event in the rematch between Estrada and Chocolatito and plenty of young talents to be added to the card, this is an unmissable feast of fights for the fans in Dallas and on DAZN.”
