WBC world featherweight champion Mark Magsayo paid a courtesy call on President Rodrigo Duterte at the Malacañang Palace shortly after winning his first world title.
The 26-year-old Magsayo, who holds a record of 24-0 with 16 knockouts, became a world champion last January when he defeated Gary Russell Jr. via majority decision.
Magsayo has repeatedly called out for a unification bout with the WBA world featherweight champion Leo Santa Cruz but he currently is on a collision course with Mexican contender Rey Vargas.
Several reports said that Magsayo’s camp is in advanced talks with the former super bantamweight champion.
