Mark Magsayo Targets Return to World Title Contention

Manila, Philippines: Filipino boxer Mark “Magnifico” Magsayo continues to push toward another world title opportunity as he rebuilds momentum in the professional ranks.

The 29-year-old former world champion holds a professional record of 28 wins and two losses, with 18 victories by knockout. Known for his power and aggressive style, Magsayo has competed at the highest level in both the featherweight and super featherweight divisions.

Magsayo reached the peak of his career in 2022 when he captured the WBCP featherweight world title, scoring a major victory over longtime champion Gary Russell Jr. The win placed him among the elite fighters in the division and added another world champion to the Philippines’ rich boxing history.

After dropping the title in his first defense and suffering another setback in a high-profile bout, Magsayo responded with renewed focus. Recent wins have helped restore his confidence and keep him relevant in a highly competitive weight class.

With his experience, punching power and improved discipline, Magsayo remains a dangerous opponent for any contender. Boxing observers believe a few more strong performances could move him back into the world title picture.
