The World Boxing Council authorized the third fight between the Mexican champion and the Nicaraguan, and has also authorized the Rungvisai vs Cuadras II fight.

The “WCB” authorized Gallo’ Estrada and Chocolatito Gonzalez to face each other for the third time and also summoned Srisaket Sor Rungvisai and Carlos Cuadras to face each other again, to start a tournament at 115 pounds in which the winners will face each other.

For that to happen, the body decided to elevate Gallo Estrada to franchise champion and decided to put Rungvisai and Cuadras for the vacant 115-pound regular championship. Estrada is now franchise champion just like Canelo Alvarez and Teofimo Lopez.

The request for a third fight between Gallo Estrada and Chocolatito Gonzalez came almost across the board after the two fighters traded shrapnel for 12 episodes last March 13 in what turned out to be a tremendous war that was won by the Mexican Estrada in a close decision over ‘Chocolatito’, who many saw winning the fight by a minor decision.

After the fight, it was said that Estrada should face his mandatory opponent, which was Srisaket Sor Rungvisai; however, the fight that generated more interest was the third fight with ‘Gallo’ and ‘Chocolatito’ and that is why the Matchroom Boxing company began to make the necessary arrangements with the World Boxing Council to set up this tournament.

Thus, Estrada and Gonzalez will face each other for the third time after splitting victories. Rungvisai and Cuadras will face each other again after the Mexican won in 2014 to dethrone him as world champion. The winners of the fights will face each other in the final of the Tournament to leave only one champion in the division.

For now the Matchroom company has not specified when the third fight could take place and if the two headline fights would be in the same event; however, it is expected that soon there will be news about the expected clashes that can generate a new tournament like the one created by Tom Loeffler a few years ago and that had as protagonists precisely the four involved in the new contest.
