Hong Kong boxing superstar Rex Tso is back in the Philippines to continue preparing for his upcoming fight in Macau on November 24 on the undercard of the highly anticipated fight between Manny Pacquiao and Brandon Rios.

The 26 year old Tso (10W-0L, 6 KO?s) is training at the Jaro Boxing Gym in Binangonan, Rizal.

?Tso has been coming back here to train here since he won the regional WBC-ABCO title,? Promoter Aljoe Jaro informed philboxing. ?This will be the fifth time that he is here in my gym. Tso is the first Hong Kong boxer to win a title belt and he is ranked by the WBC in the superflyweight division.?

?He will begin heavy training and sparring.? Jaro added ?His manager is Jay Lau , the Director of DEF boxing promotion in Hong Kong. He promotes in Hong Kong, Tso is a big star over there. He is my partner so if Tso has a fight, he will always train in my gym. He knows he will sharpen his skills and continue to improve if he trains here.?

Last July 27, Tso beat Ruslee Samor of Thailand by majority decision on the undercard of ?FISTS OF GOLD II? in Macau. This card was headlined by Chinese star Zou Shiming winning his second pro bout against Jesus Ortega of Mexico and WBO/WBA flyweight champion Juan Francisco Estrada of Mexico retaining his titles against Milan Melindo of the Philippines.

Tso won the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council (ABCO) super flyweight title last December by stopping Timur Shailezov of Kyrgyzstan in ten rounds in a fight held in Hong Kong. In his first defense, he beat Thai veteran Wandee Singwangcha by fourth round TKO last May also in Hong Kong. Tso has three wins here in the Philippines against Jeffrey Pajaroja, Mabert Paulino and Aldrin Janer.
