After today's weigh-up ceremony, Philippine featherweight unbeaten rookie Mark Magsayo (23-0, 16K0) told the media that he would follow in the footsteps of world boxing champion Manny Pacqui (62-8-2, 39K0) in the first eight tiers, and Pacquiao is his idol. Magsayo is about to challenge the current WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. (31-1, 18K0) on Sunday morning, and the current odds are 1-4, and Russell Jr. is favored.

Mark Magsayo said: "It's the biggest race of my career so far and I'll do my best to win and take this chance. I'm very excited about this big fight, Pacquiao will support me, he was my childhood idol, thanks to his guidance, I also embarked on the journey of boxing. I dedicate this game to my family and idol Pacquiao. I'm not worried about Russell Jr. being overweight, he weighed it twice and didn't look as strenuous. My advantage this time is that I have maintained a daily racing density in the dry two years, Russell Jr. has 23 threes that have not been played, during which time I have played 3 games, including 2 times in 2021. I want to seize this opportunity, this is a world boxing battle, I am still undefeated, I took out a lot of bets. I'm going to beat Russell, that's my goal, and this game is still PPV home, so I have to play at my best. I'm taller and stronger than Russell, I'm going to do it all no matter what, and I know that one day I win, I change my life. Pacquiao told me that I must spare no effort to fight, and I must win the golden belt of the king of boxing. ”

The 26-year-old Magsayo currently has a 23-game career record, 16 K0 opponents, and is now 20th overall at BOXREC-126 pounds. Magsayo punched fiercely, but the technique was not as delicate as Russell Jr., and the victory and defeat were somewhat suspenseful.
