The Los Angeles based boxer has been in the country for a month now and was training in the same gym as Manny Pacquiao in Baguio when Typhoon Juan hit the city. Mayol left Manila last weekend to continue his training for his fight at 112 lbs and his first bout since losing his world title to Mexican Omar Nino Romero by unanimous decision last June.
RWS Promotions matchmaker Willie Flores informed philboxing that Mayol (26W-5L-2D, 20 KO?s) sparred yesterday with recently crowned PBF jr. bantamweight titlist Marco Demecillo Singwangcha.
