Estrada leads Team USA against France Nov. 1 in Reno
PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island – U.S. super heavyweight champion Jason Estrada leads Team USA into Saturday’s (Nov. 1) USA-France international boxing dual in Reno, Nevada.
Estrada, of Providence, is the first three-time U.S. Nationals and U.S. Challenge champion, as well as the only non-Cuban super heavyweight to capture a gold medal at the Pan-American Games.
“It’s an honor for me to once again represent the United States against the best boxers in the world,” Jason said. “I want to thank all of my fans for their support and hope they watch me fight on television.”
France sends out Medhi Aouiche against Estrada. Fox Sports World will broadcast USA-France boxing matches on a taped delay basis.
Estrada will return home to Providence and continue training for his November 22 match against World Boxing Championship gold medal winner, Alexander Povetkin, in the USA-Russia dual in Biloxi, Mississippi.
