FILIPINO BOXING LEGEND DONNIE NIETES FIGHTS COLOMBIAN PABLO CARRILLO ON APRIL 3 IN DUBAI

Former 4-division world champion Donnie Nietes has had his opponent confirmed for next month’s spectacular #Legacy event, as he will take on tough world-ranked Colombian Pablo “El Trencito” Carrillo for the vacant WBO International super flyweight title.

Donnie’s rumble will take place on Saturday, April 3, at the plush Caesars Palace Bluewaters in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The Filipino superstar Donnie Nietes (42-1-5, 23 KO’s) of Murcia, Negros Occidental, make his highly anticipated return to the ring, as he prepares to compete for the first time since his December 2018 win in Macao.

Nietes has won world titles at super-flyweight, flyweight, light-flyweight, and minimumweight during his incredible career, and has a serious challenge in front of him against battle-tested Carrillo (25-7-1, 16 KO’s), who is ranked # 8 in the world by the WBA.

The glory-hungry Carrillo has operated at the highest level in boxing for a number of years, having previously climbed the ring against a number of world champions, including Japanese superstar Kazuto Ioka, Mexican Francisco “Chihuas” Rodríguez Jr., and hard-hitting slugger Luis “El Nica” Concepción of Panama.

The evening of boxing in Dubai is a D4G Promotions event in association with Top Rank and Queensberry Promotions.
