WBA/WBO flyweight champion Juan Francisco 'Gallo' Estrada (33-2, 24KOs) celebrated his 26th birthday with his inclusion to the list of the top 10 pound for pound fighters in the world.
Estrada has now revealed that if he doesn't get a unification with WBC champion Roman 'Chocolatito 'González - he will move up to the super flyweight division in search of new challenges.
"This inspires me to move up. Today was one of those days when you think about it so much....the way you traveled to meet some of your dreams, the effort you made as a champion. I always wanted to be champion , one of the best pound for pound, and to make history. I think I'm on the right track," said Estrada to ESPN Deportes.
About his plans, Estrada said that his return is scheduled for June or July and he agrees that Panamanian Luis Concepcion, the interim-super flyweight world champion of the World Boxing Association, is a good possibility - although he does not turn away from the idea of facing Nicaraguan Gonzalez.
"There is much talk of that fight with Concepcion, I think it's good fight. He is coming off wins over Hernan 'Tyson' Marquez and David 'Tornado' Sanchez, who are both good fighters. I think it would be a good return, a good fight for the public," he said. "In addition it would be at super flyweight for a championship. I want to be champion in many divisions, hopefully the fight happens because I dream of being champion at bantamweight and super bantamweight too."
"I think I would stay at 112, if the fight with Gonzalez is given. If not then we're going to super flyweight, because that's the fight we want. I do not know if they will agree, but if not there good fights at super flyweight."
