Matchroom adds three bouts to March 13th show

Raymond Ford, Austin Williams and Otha Jones III have all been added to the undercard of the 115-pound unification rematch between Juan Francisco Estrada and Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez that takes place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on Saturday March 13th, live worldwide on DAZN. Ford (8-0 4 KOs) closed 2020 out with stoppage wins in Florida and Texas and the 21 year-old takes on fellow unbeaten Aaron "Angel Baby" Perez (10-0 6 KOs) from New Mexico over eight rounds. The show is also highlighted by two previously announced title fights, as Jessica McCaskill (9-2 3 KOs) defends the undisputed world welterweight championship against Cecilia Brækhus (36-1 9 KOs) and Hiroto Kyoguchi (14-0 9 KOs) puts his WBA light flyweight title up against Axel Vega (14-3-1 8 KOs).
 
Williams (7-0 6 KOs) is looking to build on his 2020 campaign where he won all three of his fights via stoppage. "Ammo" will look to continue that streak in his first eight-round bout against California's Aaron Coley (16-3-1 7 KOs).
 
Jones III (5-0-1 2 KOs) battled to a split draw in Mexico City in his last outing in October, and the Ohio native will look to brush that off in his first eight-round battle against Texas native Jorge David Castaneda (13-1 11 KOs).
 
“This is a big night for Ray, Ammo and OJ3,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “All eyes are on Dallas with our mouth-watering World title triple-header, but these boys will be out to steal the show. All three of them are top talents, and now they are moving into the next phase of their careers, taking on tougher tests and stepping up to eight rounders and beyond. The pressure is on to shine, and I am sure they are going to rise to the occasion.”
