After two great fights, boxing fans were eagerly awaiting the trilogy between Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez and Juan Francisco “El Gallo” Estrada (their second fight was, together with Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder, the best of 2021).

That rival was another Mexican, Julio Cesar Martinez, and although the trilogy of this great rivalry will have to wait, at least the fans will be able to see a new edition of the boxing rivalry between Mexico and Nicaragua.
