Reno, NV January 24th, 2008 – Let's Get It On Promotions is pleased to announce that former world title challenger, Glenn "The Filipino Bomber" Donaire will be billed as the co-main event on their WAR FOR THE WEST card on February 22nd 2008. The show will be headlined by Jesse Brinkley and Otis Griffin who will be fighting for the vacant WBC-USNBC super middleweight championship.
Glenn Donaire hasn't fought since suffering a defeat in October 2006 against then IBF/IBO Flyweight world champion, Vic Darchinyan. Referee Tony Weeks stopped the bout after a ringside doctor's recommendation due to Donaire's broken jaw. Donaire's younger brother, current IBF/IBO Flyweight world champion Nonito, avenged Glenn's loss by knocking out the undefeated Darchinyan in the 5th round last summer.
Donaire' Return to the ring is sure to excite the Filipino boxing fans around the world who have followed this boxing family from their beginnings in the sport. A successful performance on February 22nd could mean another shot at a world title for Glenn. Nonito is scheduled to defend his titles in Dubai on April 4th.
Born in General Santos City, Philippines, Glenn and Nonito are trained by their father and currently resides in Northern, CA.
