WBO light flyweight champion Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes will make a voluntary defense of his title at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in Cebu on November 15.
ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer has communicated with Zanfer Promotions of Mexico requesting for the names of possible opponents since the Nietes title defense is not a mandatory and ALA has the option to choose.
Aldeguer told the Manila Standard/Viva Sports that he ?hopefully expects a list of possible rated opponents this week.?
Aldeguer also mentioned plans for Nietes to move up to flyweight to challenge Juan Francisco Estrada who won the WBO/WBA flyweight titles via a split decision over Brian Viloria and then successfully defended it against two other Filipino contenders Milan Melindo and Richie Mepranum before scoring a lopsided 11th round TKO over former world light flyweight champion and one time No. 8 on the Ring Magazine pound for pound rankings, Giovani Segura.
Also seeing action on the ?Pinoy Pride XXVIII? November card in cooperation with the giant broadcast networks ABS-CBN will be Milan Melindo, AJ ?Bazooka? Banal and the exciting Prince Albert Pagara, the undefeated IBF super bantamweight Intercontinental champion.
Aldeguer said that he plans to bring in American strength and conditioning coach Nick Curson who did a terrific job with Nietes prior to his demolition of Mexico?s Moises Fuentes via a 9th round TKO last May 10 in a rematch at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Nietes is chasing the record of the late, great Gabriel ?Flash? Elorde who reigned as world junior lightweight champion for 7 years and 3 months while Nietes should he win as expected on November 15 would have reigned as a world champion for 7 years 1 month and 15 days.
