Jayr Raquinel (born February 1, 1997, Candoni, Negros Occidental, Philippines) was a Filipino boxer who held the OPBF flyweight champion from 2018 to 2019 and the WBO Inter-continental super flyweight title from 2022 to 2023.
Raquinel started his debut as mini flyweight where he stopped fellow debutant Mark Cutara in the first round.
Raquinel made his light flyweight debut on his second fight against John Apul Safera, he won via 1st TKO.
After six consecutive victories, Raquinel was given a title match against Glenne Calacar for the Philippines Luzon Professional Boxing Association (LuzProBA) light flyweight title, after 10 rounds it ended in a Split draw with the scores of:96-94 for Raquinel, 98-92 for Calacar and 95–95 tie.[1]

After a successful defense of his title, Raquinel took on Wulan Tuolehazi of China for the WBC Silver flyweight title, but Raquinel falls short against Tuolehazi via lop-sided unanimous decision in China, facing his first ever defeat.[3]
After the OPBF flyweight title, that was held by Raquinel himself, turned vacant due to Raquinel being unable to defend it, possibly because of Covid, on October 23, 2021, Raquinel was given a chance to retake in a fight against the hard-hitting compatriot, Giemel Magramo, Raquinel suffered his second loss against Magramo via unanimous decision, therefore he was unable to retake the OPBF flyweight title.[4]
