The 33-year old American first stepped on the weighing scales at 126.5 pounds. However, he was over the mandatory weight limit and needed to cut off the excess weight to avoid repercussions, particularly losing the title. Meanwhile, the 26-year old Magsayo, the pride of Tagbilaran City, Bohol, who will have his first world title shot, easily tipped the scales at 125.5lbs on his first try.Earlier this week, Russell Jr. revealed he is suffering from a ‘slight injury.’ Still, he refused to divulge more information about it and told everyone that it was very manageable and won’t affect his performance in the ring.
Magsayo easily made the weight, thanks to his nutritionist, Jeaneth Aro, the nutritionist of several Filipino Olympians, including the country’s first Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz.
