Hernán Márquez: Tyson’s WBA Flyweight Championship Reign
Hernán “Tyson” Márquez is a Mexican flyweight who held the WBA world title from 2011 to 2012. The WBA profile documents his championship record and title fights.
Winning the WBA flyweight title
On April 2, 2011, Márquez stopped champion Luis Concepción in the 11th round in Panama City to win the WBA flyweight title. The WBA fight report describes the bout and lists Márquez at 30–2 at the time.
Title defenses and later fights
Márquez defended the belt against Edrin Dapudong and Concepción before losing it to Brian Viloria in a 2012 unification bout. The WBA’s fight history also records his later challenge against Juan Francisco Estrada and his 2015 rematch with Concepción.
A documented championship career
Márquez’s record is best known for his three-fight series with Concepción and his WBA title reign. The contemporary WBA reports and official fight history provide a clear account of his rise, defenses and later return to title contention.
Concepción appears at both ends of Márquez’s title story: Márquez beat him to win the belt, then defended against him before Viloria ended the reign. The later Estrada challenge and 2015 rematch show he returned to significant fights after the unification loss. The WBA records give the clearest framework for those changes in status.
