Vayson previously captured the WBC Asia Continental 108 belt with a hard-fought split decision win over India's Nutlai Lalbiakkima.
He's a force to be reckoned with, and his confidence is growing with each victory.
Vayson's Path to the Championship
In February 2022, Vayson challenged Indonesian Tibo Monabesa for the WBC international 108 title, knocking Monabesa down twice and controlling the 12-round rumble.
However, the Indonesian judges awarded Monabesa a controversial decision victory.

The WBC from Mexico later declared the fight a “no contest“ and ordered a rematch, which never took place.
Despite the controversy, Vayson showed excellent sportsmanship, congratulating Monabesa.
This display of class and humility has earned Vayson admiration from fans.
