FANTASY SPRINGS RESORT, California — Inspired by the motivational words of GAB Chairman Don Francisco Rivera, Filipino challenger Jayson Vayson is navigating with positivism some the most crucial and defining days of his life.
This Saturday, Jayson will battle unbeaten Puerto Rican unified world champion Oscar Collazo here at the Fantasy Springs Resort in California, in a thrilling Golden Boy Boxing show that can be watched live worldwide on DAZN.
Jayson Vayson with GAB chairman Francisco Rivera.
With GAB's support back home and a dedicated team at Fantasy Springs, Vayson is well-prepared for the challenge.
His team caters to his every need 24/7, ensuring he's in top shape.
Before arriving here at Fantasy Springs, Vayson trained intensively in Las Vegas at Sean Gibbons' Knuckleheads Gym, guided by awesome coach Joven Jimenez and supported by the cool and friendly Vincent Astrolabio, Brenden Gibbons, and the Davaoeño “Pretty Boy” Jerwin Ancajas.
Now, at Fantast Springs, Jayson Vayson is surrounded by his loyal coach Alan Alegria of Davao and managers Brico Santig, Darwin Miller Angelo Dep-ay of Benguet, and Japan’s Ulysses Sato.
Highland Boxing teammate Jay-r Raquinel of Bacolod is also on hand and ready to lend support.
As a result, Vayson looks AWESOME – not just in weight, but also strong, smiling and confident.
During the press conference, Vayson and Brico Santig showcased their professionalism and respect for the Filipino culture, impressing everyone with their thoughtful answers.
The "face-off" with the Puerto Rican champ was a highlight, with Vayson looking friendly, leading to a warm hug and smile between the two young men.
Jayson stayed focused and friendly as he signed gloves and autographs and took photos with fans.
The weigh-in is today, with Vayson and Collazo required to weigh no more than 105 pounds.
Jayson’s team is confident he'll make weight without issues. Let's hope so!
I’ll will keep you updated on everything!
God bless you, Best of luck, Jayson Vayson!
