On Sunday in Las Vegas, Zuffa Boxing returns with its fifth show (Zuffa Boxing 05) in Las Vegas. Filipino fan-favorite Mark Magsayo returns to action against Ireland’s Feargal McCrory in a ten-round matchup at 135 pounds. Magsayo (pictured) is a former WBC featherweight champion, having defeated long-time champ Gary Russell in 2022 then losing his first defense to Rey Vargas. A Filipino fan-favorite, Magsayo heads into Sunday night with a 28-2 resumé that includes 18 knockouts. The 30-year old has been away from the ring for more than eight months, but he's now a Las Vegas-based lightweight looking to build on a four-fight win streak following a 2023 loss to Brandon Figueroa.

 

Magsayo will face off against McCrory, who is ending his own one-year hiatus and will be making his Zuffa Boxing debut. The 33-year-old, who fights out of New York, arrives in Vegas with a 17-1 record, and a reputation for getting into the trenches with his opponents.  McCrory’s lone defeat came in a 130-pound title challenge against Lamont Roach in 2024, but since then, the Irishman has bounced back since, getting off the canvas to stop Keenan Carbajal in the eighth round on St Patrick’s Day 2025.
