WBA Light Flyweight Champion edit
Giovanni challenged Colombian César Canchila for the Interim WBA Light Flyweight title. Segura lost the bout by unanimous decision, but subsequently claimed the interim title by knocking out Canchila in a rematch on March 14, 2009.[citation needed]
He was elevated to full champion on June 5, 2009.[2][3] Segura defended his newly acquired title on July 25, 2009 by stopping Juanito Rubillar in six rounds. On November 21, 2009, he defended his title against Sonny Boy Jaro by first round knock out. On February 20, 2010, he defended his title for a third time against Walter Tello.[4]
Segura vs. Calderon I & II edit
On August 28, 2010 Giovani fought undefeated WBO Light Flyweight champion Iván Calderón in a unification bout.[5][6] Segura went on to knock out Calderón in the eighth round, successfully unifying his WBA title with the Puerto Rican's WBO and Lineal Light Flyweight Championships.[7][8][9] In his next fight, he defeated former champion Manuel Vargas via 7th round stoppage.
Segura and Iván Calderón would meet again in April 2011. Segura won the rematch by third round knockout.[10] Following that victory, Segura vacated his titles in order to move up to the Flyweight division where he was KO by Brian Viloria.[11]
