Mark Magsayo is gearing up for another shot at a world title as he prepares to step into the ring on June 15 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The former world featherweight champion from Tagbilaran City, Philippines, now residing in Valencia, California, will be facing off against the tough Eduardo Ramirez of Mexico in a highly anticipated bout.
Magsayo boasts an impressive record of 25-2 with 17 knockouts. After turning pro in 2016, he went on a remarkable 23-0 winning streak before earning a shot at the WBC world featherweight title against Gary Allen Russell in 2022. Magsayo managed to secure the title with a majority decision victory, showcasing his skill and determination in the ring.
Despite a narrow split decision loss to Rey Vargas in his first title defense and a decision loss to Brandon Figueroa in a subsequent title shot, Magsayo bounced back with a spectacular third-round knockout win over Isaac Avelar. Now, he is eager to secure another victory that could potentially lead him to a shot at the WBA world title.
Under the guidance of his coach Pedro Garcia at the renowned Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California, Magsayo has been training rigorously to ensure he is in peak condition for his upcoming fight. With the support of industry veteran Sean Gibbons, who sees great potential in Magsayo, the Filipino boxer is determined to make a strong impression on fight night.
Gibbons expressed his confidence in Magsayo’s abilities, stating, “Mark is in great shape and looking very good in the gym. He’s looking to impress on this card and then we’ll look at getting him a shot at the WBA world title.” Garcia echoed these sentiments, emphasizing Magsayo’s improvement since moving up to the 130-pound weight class.
As Magsayo sets his sights on another world title, fans and spectators eagerly anticipate his performance in the ring on June 15. With his unwavering dedication and skill, Magsayo aims to once again reign as a world champion and solidify his status as one of the top contenders in the featherweight division.
