WBC Press

On Saturday night in Los Angeles, Filipino Nonito Donaire will have a chance to capture the world bantamweight title, when he challenges World Boxing Council champion Nordine Oubaali the Pride of La Belle France, in a compelling cliffhanger that will be broadcast on Showtime.

In April 2013, Nonito Donaire suffered the first defeat of his magnificent professional career when he lost a twelve-round unanimous decision to Guillermo Rigondeaux.
Over the years, Donaire has fought in different divisions, reaching the featherweight world crown. In 2018. Then he decided to drop two weight divisions to the 118-pound bantamweight limit, in a division in which he has once again shone.

It is possible that, if Nonito manages to defeat the talented champion, Nordine, he could face the Cuban Rigondeaux in a rematch.
“Without a doubt right now, I am fully focused on winning the fight against Oubaali, but if everything goes to plan, I would like to avenge my loss against Rigondeaux. He has an important commitment at his door against Casimero, so if he does his thing and wins, we will be able to see each other again very soon. I think with the experience that I have accumulated over the years since we fought, I could knock out Rigondeaux. I have many plans and I am working to achieve them, “Donaire said in an interview with ESPN.
