Donaire?s manager denies boxer has a done deal to fight Rigondeaux By Rich Mazon PhilBoxing.com Tue, 22 Jan 2013  Rigondeaux. Nonito Donaire?s manager refuted earlier reports that the Filipino boxer has a final agreement to fight fellow super bantamweight champion, Guillermo Rigondeaux on April 27th in Las Vegas. ?I?ve heard two dates, April 13th and April 27th, that?s all.? Cameron Dunkin told Philboxing.com last Saturday in New York. Dunkin was in town to witness his other fighter Mikey Garcia win his first world title with a Technical Decision victory over WBO Champion Orlando Salido. He also clarified that Rigondeaux is neither the final nor the only opponent that is being discussed for Donaire?s next fight in the spring. ?There is (Vic) Darchinyan, there is (Guillermo) Rigondeaux, there is Chris John and there is actually one other now,? Dunkin told this writer. ?I can?t talk about him yet but there are four guys,? he added. The 56 year old manager stated that he and Donaire have not picked any name yet amongst the four possible opponents in what will be the boxer?s first fight for 2013. Dunkin spoke to Donaire twice last Saturday and updated his boxer of the recent developments about his upcoming fight. ?I said, look I am hearing it could be the 13th or the 27th, he said I am ready to go either day,? He relayed. Donaire fought four times last year and registered wins in all of them. He was unanimously judged as 2012?s ?Fighter of The Year? by most boxing related sites and publication because of his accomplishment in the ring which included two titles in the Super Bantam Division and a successful defense at the end of last year. Las Vegas is the most likely venue of Donaire?s next fight and television network HBO will carry the said event according to Dunkin.
