On April 10, 2026, in Tokyo, Japan, Juan Francisco “Gallo” Estrada will travel to Japan to face fellow world-ranked contender Tenshin Nasukawa in an official WBC bantamweight eliminator. With this fight, he seeks to position himself once again for a world title in a new division.
For Nasukawa, who holds a record of 7-1 and 2 KOs, the duel represents an immediate opportunity to reposition himself among the elite after his recent world title setback.
His transition to professional boxing remains under scrutiny, and a victory against a name of Estrada’s caliber would redefine his status.
Estrada, for his part, brings hierarchy, experience, and a proven track record in high-pressure fights. He is not just a stepping stone: he is a real test for anyone aspiring to a title opportunity. The Mexican holds a record of 24-4 and 28 KOs.
“This will be my 50th fight and I feel very motivated to travel to Japan and win the opportunity to compete for the WBC bantamweight crown. I feel I still have a lot to give and I am going to leave everything in the ring as I do in all my fights,” commented Estrada.
For his part, the President of the WBC commented: “I simply wish you the best; I will be in Japan for this bout. You have everything it takes to succeed. It will be a fight of maturity versus youth, and I am totally sure that you will hold Mexico high.”
