A MEXICAN fighter who is on a tear will challenge former Boholano world champion Mark Magsayo in the undercard of the keenly awaited Manny Pacquiao- Mario Barrios duel on July 19 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Magsayo will be battling Jorge Mata Cuellar, the former World Boxing Organization-North America Boxing Organization featherweight champion, who is on a five-fight winning streak.

Cuellar sports an impressive record, piling up 21 points, 13 by knockout. He only has two defeats and two draws.

While he is on a streak, four of Cuellar’s last five win happened in 2023.

Currently training with Pacquiao in Los Angeles, California, the 29-year-old Tagbilaran City native Magsayo is also on a mini roll having won three of last fights.

Magsayo is looking to sustain his momentum to earn another crack at a world title fight. He is currently ranked No. 3 in the WBO super featherweight rankings.

The hard-hitting Magsayo holds a 27W-2L, 18KOs record and is coming off a second-round knockout win over Mexican Bryan Mercado.(CCM)
