The news came out less than a week after Rey Vargas and O’Shaquie Foster reached a deal to fight for the vacant WBC junior lightweight title, relinquishing the WBC world featherweight title he snatched from Magsayo last June.

The Tagbilaran City, Bohol native currently holds a record of 24 wins, 16 by knockouts, and one defeat. He bagged the WBC world featherweight title last January against Gary Russell Jr via majority decision in Atlantic City.
