Seniesa Estrada’s first major title fight now comes with an upgrade.

krikya360.com has learned that a showdown between the undefeated Los Angeles native and long-reigning WBA strawweight titlist Anabel Ortiz has been upgraded to the chief support of this weekend’s DAZN-streamed show from Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. The bout moves up on the schedule in place of a previously planned junior welterweight clash between Pablo Cesar Cano and Jonathan Navarro, which will no longer take place.

Cano was forced to drop out of the proposed crossroads bout due to a non-COVID related illness, leaving Golden Boy Promotions without enough time to find a suitable replacement for Navarro.

Estrada (19-0, 8KOs) is coming off of back-to-back wins over unbeaten opposition, one in a record-breaking performance though the other serving as the far greater victory.

Estrada scored a technical unanimous decision win over longtime heated rival and 2012 Olympic Bronze medalist Marlen Esparza in their Nov. 2019 interim flyweight title fight in Las Vegas. More than eight months later came her highlight-reel seven-second knockout of undefeated—though woefully overmatched—Miranda Adkins last July at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California. The bout took place at junior flyweight, with Estrada since dropping all the way down to strawweight in what she views as her first stop toward becoming a three-division titlist.

She will have to take out a long-reigning champ in order to achieve that feat.

Ortiz (31-3, 4KOs) will attempt the 13th defense of her WBA title, which she has held since 2013. The 34-year old from Mexico City previously held the WBC strawweight title beginning with a 10-round win over Carina Moreno in Oct. 2009, reigning for 18 months before conceding the crown to the excellent Naoko Fujioka in May 2011.

A 21-fight win streak accompanies Ortiz into the ring this weekend, along with having won 23 of her last 24 starts since her first title reign. The lone loss over that stretch came to current 108-pound titlist and pound-for-pound entrant Yessica Bopp. Most recently, Ortiz managed a 6-round win over Heidy Cruz in a non-title fight last March.

The title fight between Ortiz and Estrada serves as the chief support to an all-Dallas welterweight clash between Vergil Ortiz Jr. (16-0, 16KOs) and former junior welterweight titlist Maurice Hooker (27-1-3, 18KOs). This weekend marks the second straight time that Estrada and Vergil Ortiz Jr. are featured on the same show, having both shared the stage on DAZN’s first card since the pandemic last July. Ortiz claimed a 7th round stoppage of Samuel Vargas in the main event.
