DONAIRE TO RETURN TO THE RING ON JULY 18 By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Mon, 13 Apr 2015  Five division world champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire is scheduled to return to the ring on July 18 in Macau against a still unknown opponent on a Top Rank fight card. Donaire told the New Standard/boxingmirror.com that he is already undergoing strength and conditioning training and will be ?back in the gym next week.? Having learned his lesson after the crushing 6th round TKO loss to bigger and stronger Nicholas ?Axe Man? Walters in a WBA featherweight title defense, Donaire has learned his lesson on staying shape all the time and working hard. He told us ?I am training very hard and I?ll be ready even in May? and said he?d be ready to face anybody ?even in May? including the undefeated Jessie Magdaleno who had expressed a desire to fight Donaire. Magdaleno who is undefeated with 20 wins including 15 knockouts was disappointed after his eight round main event feature on a Top Rank card in Laredo, Texas was cancelled when his opponent John Mark Apolinario didn?t get a license from the Texas Boxing Commission to fight with Apolinario claiming his medical test results which was done in Los Angeles hadn?t arrived in Texas. Donaire is coming off a 2nd round TKO of Brazil?s William Prado in the ?Pinoy Pride 30? fight card at the Araneta Coliseum last March 28 when he battered the Brazilian forcing referee Bruce McTavish to call a halt at 2:13 of the round to stop the mismatch. With the win Donaire captured the vacant North American Boxing Federation super bantamweight title. Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ronnie Nathanielsz.  |
