Mexican WBA/WBO Unified Flyweight World Champion Juan Francisco "El Gallo" Estrada has already traveled to Macau for the first defense of his world titles against undefeated Filipino Milan Melindo on July 27 at The Venetian? Macau's Cotai Arena?.
Estrada (24-2, 18 KOs) appeared in high spirits as he walked towards his flight's gate at Mexico's Benito Ju?rez International Airport.
The 23 year-old world champion from Sonora, Mexico, is accompanied by his experienced team, which plans to fine tune Estrada's preparation in Macau.
"I am so motivated to make my first defense. I have done a good training and it will show in the ring. We will bring our two belts back to Mexico. I share my titles with my team and with the people of Mexico who support me," said Estrada.
Should the Mexican beats Melindo, his promoters plan a blockbuster all-Mexican affair between "El Gallo" Estrada and popular former world champion Hern?n "Tyson" M?rquez.
Juan Francisco "El Gallo" Estrada, promoted by Zanfer Boxing and Top Rank, will be seen in action on July 27 on HBO in the United States and TV Azteca 7 in M?xico.
