Donnie Liboon Nietes is a Filipino professional boxer who has won world titles in four weight-classes, having previously held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) mini-flyweight title from 2007 to 2011; the WBO and The Ring magazine junior-flyweight titles between 2011 and 2016, the International Boxing Federation (IBF) flyweight title from 2017 to 2018; and the WBO junior-bantamweight title from 2018 to 2019.
