Jesús Gabriel “Jessie” Magdaleno is a Mexican American professional boxer who has held the WBO super bantamweight title since November 2016.

He has a record of 25 wins and 18 by way of Knockouts with no defeat (25,18 KOs, 0). Meaning he has a 72 percent knockout ratio.

Born on the 8th November 1991, Jessie is now 26 years of age with a height of 5’4? and a reach of 66.

He is a southpaw with swift hands and is the younger brother of Diego Armando MAGDALENO, a Mexican American boxer in the super featherweight division and is the current NABF Super Featherweight Champion.

On 24 of April last year, he fought Adeilson Dos Santos (18-2,0) which he won by TKO.

Before Adeilson he had fought the very stubborn Donito Donaire as well of which he won by a unanimous point decision.

Admittedly, he struggled against Donito Donaire (37-3 0) but was able to see the fight through.

The champion Jessie Magdaleno has fought some interesting fighters like Rey Perez(20-7,0), Vergel Nebran (14-10,1), Raul Hirales (22-4,1), Erik Ruiz (13-1 0) and so on in the world super bantamweight division.

Last year November 11 2017 ,The American pulled out against Mexican Cesar Juarez in his bid to defend his title due to a wrist injury , a move most thought was questionable.

Remember Cesar Juarez was the very opponent the Isaac Dogboe dropped by a 5th round TKO.

In truth, aside Donito Donaire in recent years, Jessie Magdaleno is yet to fight a hard core, box to box , swift counter puncher, intelligent fighter and brawler like Isaac ‘the red hot royal storm’ Dogboe.

The date is set on 28 day of April in Maryland, USA.

Ghana is ready for a new world champion in the person of Isaac ‘the royal storm Dogboe.
