Though this isn’t a title fight, there is a lot at stake for Magsayo. Should he win, promoter Sean Gibbons says Magsayo will be ordered by the WBC to face No. 3 contender Michael Magnesi, 25-2 (13 KOs), of Lazio, Italy, in an elimination bout. Magsayo-Magnesi would determine the mandatory challenger for the winner between titleholder O’Shaquie Foster and Stephen Fulton, which is expected to take place on August 16 on the undercard of the Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach rematch.
