On August 28, 2010 Giovani fought undefeated WBO Light Flyweight champion Iván Calderón in a unification bout.[6][7] Segura went on to knock out Calderón in the eighth round, successfully unifying his WBA title with the Puerto Rican's WBO and The Ring's Light Flyweight Championships.[8][9] In his next fight, he defeated former champion Manuel Vargas via 7th round stoppage.
Giovani Segura and Iván Calderón would both 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]
