Eddie Hearn believes that the Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez clash with Juan Francisco Estrada will be one of the fights of the year.

The two experienced super flyweights fight on December 3 live on DAZN (check for regions) after two huge fights earlier in their career.

At 35 and 32 respectively, Chocolatito and Estrada may regard this fight as the one that finally settles their longstanding rivalry. 

Speaking to DAZN about the fight ahead, Matchroom promoter Hearn predicted another quality match-up.

“That’s a fight when you’re talking about boxing royalty,” he began. 

“I was lucky enough to promote the second one, one of the best fights I’ve ever seen up close. The first one was epic. 

“The third one, what else can it be apart from a fight of the year contender?

"Chocolatito, unlucky in my opinion, not to squeeze out the victory [in the second fight]. This is the trilogy. It’s going to be a great match.
