Yokasta Valle, the reigning WBO/IBF strawweight champion, is calling for a major showdown in the boxing world. Following her dominant victory over Anabel Ortiz, Valle has set her sights on unifying the division against Seniesa Estrada, the current WBC/WBA strawweight titleholder. Valle’s challenge is not just about titles; it’s a vision to create an epic event in her native Costa Rica.
In front of her home crowd at the Polideportivo de Cartago in Cartago, Costa Rica, Valle delivered a performance that echoes her ambition to take on the best. With more than 5,000 fans supporting her, she solidified her claim as a top strawweight fighter, aiming to transform the San Jose soccer stadium into a boxing arena teeming with 50,000 spectators for this potential unification bout.
The rivalry between Valle and East Los Angeles’ Estrada has been brewing for years, with Estrada recently unifying the WBC and WBA belts after a decisive win over Tina Rupprecht. Valle, unimpressed by Estrada’s venue choices, touts her ability to draw massive crowds in Costa Rica, contrasting with Estrada’s venues. As Valle continues to defend her titles with the support of her passionate fanbase, she firmly believes that the much-anticipated fight against Estrada should happen on her turf, where she's proven to fill stadiums, not just ballrooms.
