Glenn Donaire says he has joined forces with promoter Don King. This can only help Donaire, the older brother of bantamweight superstar Nonito Donaire Jr., who is trying to end a three-year absence from the ring.
Donaire delivered this news to young Bay Area reporter Truth Esguerra, via Philippine News, who filed this video .
Other than the King connection, though, little has happened in Donaire?s comeback since I visited him at the Kennel Boxing Club in July . The former flyweight contender?s comeback has yet to result in a bout. He has quit his day job and trains under his father in San Leandro at the Kennel, which is subsidizing the comeback.
When brother Nonito was in the midst of defecting to Golden Boy Promotions from Bob Arum?s Top Rank during the spring and summer, Glenn (17-4, nine knockouts) was in line for a bout in San Jose on the undercard of the later-canceled Robert Guerrero-Marcos Maidana card at the Shark Tank.
