Yokasta Valle can appreciate why Seniesa Estrada would take this fight so personally. It’s just not a viewpoint that she shares. The upcoming undisputed championship is just another business trip for the three-division title claimant from Costa Rica. The pair of unified strawweight titlists meet in a long-awaited grudge match on an March 29 ESPN+ show from Desert Diamond Arena ...
Lamont Roach Jr. will head straight into his mandatory title defense. Two, in fact, should he resume his winning ways.
