MANILA, Philippines – MP Promotions has signed Filipino featherweight prospect Mark Magsayo, who is set to return to the ring on May 16 as the latest fighter under Manny Pacquiao’s stable. Sean Gibbons, Pacquiao’s right-hand man who also heads MP Promotions, said Magsayo will figure in a 10-round fight on May 16 against a still-to-be-determined opponent. Magsayo is a welcome addition to MP Promotions, who also has Filipino world champions John Riel Casimero, Jerwin Ancajas and Pedro Taduran in its stable. Gibbons said they plan to send Magsayo to the US to train at Freddie Roach’s famed Wild Card Gym in Hollywood. Magsayo previously fought under the banner of Cebu-based ALA Promotions, but Gibbons clarified that he has since been a free agent.
