Professional career

edit

Estrada made his pro debut on September 23, 2010. Estrada was first ranked by a sanctioning body in August 2013, entering the IBF's rankings as the #15 mini-flyweight contender, with a 9-1 pro record.[1] In May 2017, Estrada faced Saúl Juárez on a WBC title eliminator, with the winner becoming the mandatory challenger to Wanheng Menayothin.[2] Estrada outboxed Juárez and survived a knockdown to win by unanimous decision.[3] Estrada faced Wanheng Menayothin on May 2, 2018. He proved to be no match for the champion, who battered him and dropped him five times before knocking him out with a right uppercut in round 5. With the win, Wanheng tied Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s 50–0 record.[4]
