ORTHODOX Jay Ar “Star Boy” Magboo of Baco, Mindoro Oriental will face Malaysian Aiman Abu Bakar on August 28 at the Racquetaz Badminton Center in Don Placido Campos, Dasmarinas, Cavite.

They will fight for 8-rounds under the lightweight division.

The last was a knockout from Adam Diu Abdulhamid of General Santos City last March 23 at the Resorts World Hotel, Newport Performing Arts Theatre in Pasay City.

Magboo, who is managed before by Yolly “Ate” Alfante, lost to Ernie Sanchez to win the Philippine Boxing Federation lightweight last May 1, 2022 in Barangay Ligaya Gymnasium at General Santos City.

“I will just go with the flow,” said Magboo.

Abu bakar, on the other hand, has nine wins, one loss with four knockouts.

Abu bakar (lost to Asad Asif Khan of India by a unanimous decision for the vacant IBO Oceania-Orient featherweight last December 21, 2019 at Manila Arena in Manila. by a unanimous decision for the vacant IBO Oceania-Orient featherweight last December 21, 2019 at Manila Arena in Manila.
