Magsayo dethrones Russell, gains WBC featherweight crown

Summary by Ground News

WBC featherweight champion Gary Allen Russell Jr. was dethroned by Mark Magsayo in a bout that begs for a rematch. Russell was handicapped by an injury to his right shoulder that reduced him to a one-armed fighter for most of the battle. Evan Holyfield improved to 9-0 with a 6-round unanimous decision over gritty but outclassed Chris Rollins.
