WBA Featherweight world champion Celestino "Pelenchin" Caballero of Panama and Filipino superstar Nonito Donaire had a very cordial meeting yesterday during training at the Teiken Boxing Gym in Japan. Celestino Caballero will defend his WBA Featherweight world title against Japanese slugger Satoshi Hosono (21-1, 15KO's) on New Year's Eve in Yokohama, Japan.
Meanwhile, the sensational Nonito Donaire, who scored one of the most spectacular KO's of 2011, trains these days in Japan for his February world title super bantamweight combat against former world champion Wilfredo Vasquez Jr.
