Srisaket Sor Rungvisai and Juan Francisco Estrada are set to square off again.

Their rematch for The Ring junior bantamweight championship is scheduled for April 26 in Los Angeles, industry sources told The Ring. The fight will be streamed on DAZN and joined by a junior featherweight title unification bout between Danny Roman and T.J. Doheny.

Jessie Vargas was in talks to fight Kell Brook on the show, but instead will make his 154-pound debut on the card, according to industry sources.

Rungvisai (47-4-1, 41 knockouts) edged Estrada via majority decision when they met in February 2018 at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The 115-pound title tilt was one of the most entertaining scraps of the year, a bout that featured non-stop action from bell to bell. Rungvisai’s victory cemented his status as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the game (he’s rated No. 8 by The Ring).

Estrada’s late surge in the bout — and the tight tallies on the scorecard — had fans calling for a rematch; it just took longer than expected to materialize. The Mexican is a former titleholder, and once was listed on The Ring’s pound-for-pound list. Estrada (38-3, 26 KOs) is currently rated No. 1 at junior bantamweight. Since the defeat to Rungvisai, the 28-year-old scored victories over Felipe Orucuta and Victor Mendez on HBO.

Rungvisai, meanwhile, defended his title twice in his native Thailand. He scored a first-round stoppage of journeyman Young Gil Bae in July and then outpointed contender Iran Diaz three months later.

Rungvisai, who broke through in 2017 with consecutive victories over Roman Gonzalez, recently signed a deal to compete exclusively on DAZN.

The pairing of Rungvisai-Estrada with Roman-Doheny is perhaps DAZN’s best offering yet. Roman, rated No. 4 by The Ring at 122 pounds, has reeled off three victories since he claimed the title with a ninth-round KO of Shun Kubo. The 28-year-old volume puncher most recently stopped Gavin McDonnell in Round 10. Roman (26-2-1, 10 KOs) was born and raised in Los Angeles and will enjoy a homecoming in the biggest fight of his career.

Doheny (21-0, 15 KOs) is the one who will be fighting on hostile turf. The Ireland native now resides in Australia. The 32-year-old southpaw topped Ryosuke Iwasa via decision in August to grab the title and defended it with an 11th-round KO of Ryohei Takahashi in January.

Going through Instagram stories. Looks like Ward, James Toney, Berto, Danny Garcia, Claressa Shields, and Khan are going to be on family feud. Not sure if I missed anyone else but that's who I saw.

edit: Josesito Lopez, Antonio Tarver, and Mikaela Mayer

Correct me if im wrong but he called him out before he got on the couch, twice after he got off the couch and again when he schooled Wilder :yeshrug:

Nah no apologies. Bradley still still deserves that lack of respect for ducking on Khan :lolbron:

Yeah I agree Wlad looked great after his layoff:mjlit:

Now Fury still came in like a fat piece of shyt after his 2 years of food gorging, drug abuse, depression and suicidal shyt, and still schooled Wilder :mjlol:

Including myself, most people said Fury had no business being in there. He was there off rep alone. He shouldve been food in there. What does that say about wilder :picard:

What does that say about you for being wrong about Fury?? You can exaggerate Fury's appearance and ignore his clear weight loss, or even bring up his coke binge back in 2015 and pretend he didn't turn it around all you want.. Doesn't change the fact that you were wrong and you agree with me that Fury put on a great performance

What does it say about me? He did put on a great performance - i've said that already. . . Before the fight did you not think he was going to be food in there:stopitslime:

yes he put away 4 month long coke binge, years long food and alcohol abuse, mental health shyt which is likely still ongoing :comeon: He lost a lot of weight but still looked like a sloppy piece of shyt You do realise he lost like 140lbs in a very short space of time right? :mjlol:

I think it was pretty justifiable to think that a shadow of the boxer who beat Wlad would turn up against a prime Wilder, his two tune ups were were nothing to write home about . . . After that substance abuse i thought his reflexes wouldve taken a bigger hit, that was kindve evident in the tune ups when he was eating shots from them bums

You dodged my question though, what does all that say about Wilder?

I thought Fury was gonna be Food for Wilder since the fight with Wlad. And I was wrong just like you. It doesn’t say anything about Wilder. Wilder came into the fight looking to knock Fury the fukk out came VERY close to succeeding and gave Fury a better fight than an active Wladamir Klitchko unlike Feminine. But Fury overcame that and proved that he wasn’t a shell of his former self. Bringing up the 2 tuneups after the fact is irrelevant because they were tuneups. Hence the word TUNE UP :dahell:
