Renowned boxing trainer Nonito Donaire Sr graced the recent Bisaya Kami Club Christmas Party in Pittsburg, California.
Donaire came as a gesture of gratitude through the invitation of California-based Jun Laquindanum, who was the gracious host to the Donaires during their month-long training in Cebu for the Luis Maldonado fight in Connecticut.
Laquindanum, a karate grandmaster, allowed the Donaires to stay at his 12-bedroom mansion in Cebu’s Vista Grande, a high-end subdivision atop the mountains south of Cebu City.
Donaire’s son, Nonito Jr, stopped Maldonado in the eighth round of that fight to retain his IBF and IBO titles.
Laquindanum had also invited the reigning boxing champion to the Bisaya Kami Club Christmas Party, but was not available.
