Sources: Srisaket Sor Rungvisai’s debut on DAZN will be a rematch with Juan Francisco Estrada. The fight is slated to take place April 6 in Los Angeles on a card alongside Danny Roman-TJ Doheny. Rungvisai is The Ring’s 115-pound champion; he outpointed Estrada in a war in Feb.1575:53 AM – Jan 31, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacy63 people are talking about this

DAZN has a strong roster in the lower weight classes, including fellow super flyweight titlist Kal Yafai and both of the super bantamweight champions in the tweet above. Notably, it has the entirety of the bantamweight lineup of the current Super Series should Sor Rungvisai elect to move to 118 pounds.

Before all that, though, he has Estrada to deal with in a wholly welcome rematch. It’ll be nice to see Sor Rungvisai in action against the elite again.NEXT UP IN BOXING NEWS ANALYSIS
