Juan Francisco Estrada vs Dewayne Beamon in negotiation stage

Juan Francisco Estrada could defend WBC belt to Dewayne Beamon next

American Dewayne Beamon (16-1-1, 11KOs) leads the list of possible challengers to the current WBC super flyweight champion, Juan Francisco Estrada (39-3), for the scheduled date of August 24 in the Multiple Use Center of Hermosillo, Sonora, according to sources close to the negotiations.

Juan Francisco, who makes the maiden defense of his WBC belt, will try to create a new attendance record at the CUM of Hermosillo, surpassing ten thousand attendees on March 8, 1991, when the popular Jorge ‘Maromero’ Páez clashed with ‘Cocas’ Ramírez.

It was planned that Francisco may fight in Mexico City, but in the end it was decided to have 'El Gallo' box in his native Sonora, something that has not happened since 2016, when he defeated Raymond Tabugon in Puerto Peñasco.

Estrada comes from defeating Thai Srisaket Sor Rungvisai with a great and memorable performance in order to conquer the WBC crown.

For Beaumon, whose most recent triumph was in October of last year over Mexican Martin Tecuapetla, he has been waiting a long time for a title chance and it seems that he will finally have it against Estrada.
