Magsayo clashes with Hernandez, fight results unclear
Title bout for WBC junior lightweight title eliminator, featuring Mark Magsayo and Eduardo Hernandez, is in limbo. Reports suggest that Hernandez is facing some health concerns, specifically an eye issue, which have cast uncertainty over his ability to enter the ring[1].
Medical reviews are being conducted by the WBC, expressing worries about Hernandez's eligibility to fight due to the need for further medical clearance[1]. Meanwhile, Magsayo's team is waiting for updates on the fight negotiations, originally slated for July[2].
