Undefeated Filipino boxer Carl James Martin is setting his sights on a world championship opportunity after scoring a victory over Mexican fighter David Picasso in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Following his latest win, Martin expressed his desire to face some of the toughest competitors in the division, particularly fighters ranked among the top three or four in the featherweight rankings.
However, the Filipino boxer said his immediate priority is to challenge for the World Boxing Organization or WBO super-bantamweight title, where he currently holds the number one contender ranking.
Martin’s latest victory further strengthens his bid for a world title opportunity as he continues to pursue bigger challenges in his professional boxing career.
Meanwhile, Martin also welcomed the possibility of a rematch with Picasso after the Mexican fighter expressed interest in facing him again.
