Rungvisai is currently ranked first in the WBC’s Super Flyweight world rating and has already been named a mandatory challenger for the WBC world title. In December last year, the WBC officially ordered the winner of the unification bout between Juan Francisco Estrada and “Chocolatito” Roman Gonzalez to defend his WBC World title against Rungvisai next within August or September this year.

Mexico has been good to Austin Trout. The slick, left-handed Las Cruces boxer is 3-0 in fights held south of the border, including his February 2011 victory over Rigoberto Alvarez for the WBA junior middleweight world title.

This is a remarkably feasible matchup and essentially the best-case scenario for a potential undisputed championship fight later this year. Top Rank’s Ancajas (32-1-2, 22 KO), who’s made eight successful defenses since taking the belt from McJoe Arroyo but failed to cross paths with any of the division’s best, won’t have the deal with the promotional hurdles standing between him and the likes of WBC champ Juan Francisco Estrada. In addition, Estrada is booked to face WBA “super” champ Roman Gonzalez on March 13th and the winner of that is obligated to defend against Srisaket Sor Rungvisai; if Ancajas fights Ro
