Pinoy sets up title clash with “Thai Mayweather” in Thai World Boxing Council

By Leobert Julian A. de la Peña

Marco John Rementizo, a Cagayan de Oro pride, will try to stop the reign of Wanheng “Thai Mayweather” Menayothin in the Thai World Boxing Council’s minimumweight crown.

Holding a staggering 54-0 record in his professional career, Menayothin was immediately tagged as the “Thai Mayweather” after surpassing Floyd’s 50-0 record after he retired from boxing.

Not only does Menayothin hold an astonishing win-loss record but he was also responsible for the defeat of 22 other Pinoys in the tournament.

Rementizo will be the 23^rd Pinoy who will have the chance to rust Menayothin’s record and will also seek to avenge his countrymen’s downfall against the Thai.

On the other hand, the Pinoy slugger holds a record of 12 wins, 9 via way of knockout and 3 losses in his career so far.

Rementizo is looking to make history not as the first Filipino to take down the Thai star but as the first-ever to defeat Menayothin.

The most-anticipated bout will be scheduled on April 25, 2020, at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California.
