The 23-year-old boxing pride of Lagawe, Ifugao is also ranked eighth by the World Boxing Organization (WBO).
The World Boxing Association (WBA) ranked Martin at 12th spot with Murodjon Akhmadaliev of Uzbekistan, who has 11 wins against zero loss, as the world champ. He is also the reigning IBF champion.
