The official weighin was held for the super flyweight debut of Juan Francisco Estrada. As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, Estrada officially vacated his World Boxing Organization and World Boxing Association flyweight titles. Estrada has been dealing with a bad hand injury which has kept him on the shelf since September 2015.
Estrada has now officially moved up to super flyweight, and his return will take place in his native Puerto Penasco against a fighter from Philippines, Raymond Tabugon, and Azteca 7, La Casa del Boxeo, will broadcast to everyone in Mexico.
Estrada weighed in at 116-pounds, while Tabugon was a tad higher at 116.5-pounds.
At a press conference to announce the fight, Estrada (33-2, 24 KOs) explained that he's fully recovered from the injury to his right hand that sidelined him from fighting for over a year. The bout will be at the Ballpark Francisco Leon Garcia with Tabugon (18-5-1, 8 KOs) over ten rounds at super flyweight as part of a Zanfer Promotions event.
The 26-year-old Estrada is gunning for a rematch with Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez, who won a war over Estrada in 2012 at junior flyweight. Gonzalez recently made the jump to super flyweight and captured the WBC title from Carlos Cuadras two weeks go in Los Angeles.
