There will now be a tripleheader of title fights on March 13 on a card headlined by a much-anticipated rematch of Juan Francisco Estrada and Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez.
Added to the card is a rematch between Jessica McCaskill and Cecilia Brækhus for the undisputed women’s welterweight title, Matchroom Boxing announced Friday.
McCaskill (9-2, 3 KOs) won the title from the previously unbeaten Brækhus in a competitive majority decision victory in August. The upset win prevented Brækhus from making her record 25th consecutive title defense.
“I interrupted her career in the first fight,” McCaskill said. “I will end her career in the rematch.”
Said Brækhus (36-1, 9 KOs): “I’m very focused on regaining all of my undisputed belts on March 13 in the rematch against Jessica.”
Hiroto Kyoguchi (14-0, 9 KOs) will also defend his WBA light flyweight title against Axel Vega.
Kyoguchi will be making his United States and Matchroom debut against the 20-year-old Vega (14-3-1, 8 KOs).
“I want to thank them for the chance to prove that Japanese boxing is the best in the world,” Kyoguchi said. “I am very grateful to them, and we will put everything into becoming a star in the boxing world.”
All the bouts will be fought at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Dallas in front of limited fans and aired on DAZN.
