Nagpaplanong bumalik sa laban sa bagong weight category si dating WBC featherweight champion Mark “Magnifico” Magsayo sa darating na Setyembre o Oktubre sa mas mabigat na junior lightweight o super-featherweight division kasunod ng malasap ang ikalawang sunod na pagkabigo sa 126-pound category kontra American Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa noong Marso 4 sa U.S.


Nagpakita ng intensyong umakyat ng panibagong dibisyon ang tubong Tagbilaran City, Bohol kasunod ng unanimous decision pagkatalo kay Figueroa (24-1-1, 18 KOs) para sa WBC interim 126-lb belt at reigning WBC titlist Rey Vargas (36-1, 22KOs) ng Mexico noong Hulyo 9, 2022 na nagresulta ng split decision.


Ito na rin ang ipinabatid ni MP Promotions President Sean Gibbons sa panayam ng isang online website matapos sumabak sa tatlong mabibigat na laban si Magsayo (24-2, 16 KOs), kung saan napanalunan ang WBC title laban kay Gary Russel Jr. noong Enero 22, 2022. “Mark had an unbelievably tough year-and-a-half,” ayon kay Gibbons sa ProBox TV News. “He beat Gary Russell, arguably [the] number-one featherweight in the world, then he had to fight the worst guy ever in the world, Rey Vargas, and he gave a heck of a [fight] to Brandon Figueroa,” saad ng international matchmaker sa ProBoxTV. “The weight [fighting at featherweight] took a little bit out of him. So, he is going to return in September or October at 130 [lbs].”


Gayunpaman, bago pa man ang laban kay Figueroa, nauna ng inamin ni Gibbons na plano ng umakyat ng 27-anyos mula Tagbilaran, Bohol sa 130-lbs division, subalit nabigyan lang ng oportunidad na lumaban sa 126-lb title belt.
