FILIPINO rising star Mark Magsayo caught the attention of the boxing fans when he scored a knockout against Mexican Julio Ceja last August. The World Boxing Council also took notice and made Magsayo the mandatory featherweight challenger.

Magsayo aims to become only the third Filipino to rule the 126-pound division when he battles WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. at the Borgata Event Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Sunday (Philippine time).
