The victor will face the winner of the rematch between WBC champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai and pound-for-pound rated Roman 'Chocolatito' González of Nicaragua - who will clash that same night.
Cuadras, never short of confidence, turned up to the pre-fight press conference with a rubber chicken and 'Principe' claimed that Estrada had been running scared of him for years.
He said: "He's been scared of me for years, Estrada, he is a true chicken.
"He's never wanted to fight but on Saturday I'm going to win and then I want to fight for my title again.
"I can beat 'Chocolatito' and I can beat Rungvisai so I don't care which one it is.
"I laugh at this chicken saying he's going to turn me into a princess, he's going to be in a real war on Saturday night."
Former unified flyweight world champion Estrada, 27, was of fewer words and has vowed to let his boxing do the talking on fight night.
"Cuadras talks too much, he is always talking but can't back it up, I'm going to turn him into a Princess from a Prince.
"This is my chance to fight for a world title if I win and I will be victorious on fight night."
"I've wanted to fight 'Chocolatito' again for a long time and I will get the opportunity once I defeat Cuadras."
Watch Roman Gonzalez vs Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Naoya Inoue vs Antonio Nieves and Carlos Cuadras vs Juan Francisco Estrada on a spectacular night of super-flyweight action, starting at 3.15am in the early hours of Sunday morning, live on Sky Sports Main event.
