Estrella (25-1, 23 knockouts) is keen to test himself against the wily veteran at home in Monterrey.

“I’m happy with this kind of opportunity because this (is) the way to know that a southpaw is not a problem to (overcome in) becoming a world champion,” Estrella told RingTV.com. “I’m always thinking about being the best at least once.”

The 24-year-old, who is ranked No. 10 by the WBC at 135 pounds is co-promoted by Promociones Del Pueblo and De Leon Promotions.

He points out two recent upset wins the former WBO junior welterweight titlist has on the road, that snapped a four-fight losing streak.

“Corley is far from been a finished boxer,” opined De Leon. “This year he just put a KO to Denmark’s rising star Osama Hadifi and, after that, beat, in (close to his home region) Jamaican Iwan Asore.

“He has been an active boxer since his debut in 1996 and, from there, he has fought the best boxers in the world, becoming world champion from 2001 to 2003, so we are talking about a very experienced boxer, who has fought two prospects this year, and beaten them.

“‘Chop Chop’ is very dangerous for anybody, plus he is a left-hander. If Adrian wants to beat him, he will have to bring out the best of himself and then we will see what Adrian is made out of.”

Oswaldo Kulche of Promociones del Pueblo, agrees with his business partner and feels Estrella can become a world champion in the future.

“Adrian is one of the most dedicated fighters I’ve known,” Kulche said. “He is still learning and he is learning quickly. He has physical advantages over any lightweight because he is very big and strong and doesn’t have an issue with weight problems. He can be a great world champion we just need to be patient and go step-by-step because he is a young fighter.”

Estrella has rebounded well from the lone loss of his career last May, when he was surprisingly curtailed by Filipino fringe contender Eden Sonsona.

Looking back, he’s philosophical about the loss, which came at junior lightweight. Since the loss, Estrella has won three fights, all by stoppage, at 135 pounds.

“(It was) a bad decision from me to enter that second round with the wrong attitude,” he explained. “I felt like losing my mind before and after, standing up from my corner, in that round where I lost everything.

“When you’re an athlete, you have to learn about losing competitions and what I learnt about this loss is just to know how to lose, let it go and continue with the dream.”
