WBC Press

One of the most anticipated fights, where the World Boxing Council bantamweight title will be at stake, will headline a Showtime Championship Boxing card on May 29 at Dignity Health Sports Park, Carson, California.

Champion Nordine Oubaali of France (17-0, 12KOs) will attempt the third defense of the title he won by defeating Rau’Shee Warren in January 2019.

Oubaali, a two-time Olympian who represented France in 2008 Beijing and London 2012, has not fought since he defended his crown by defeating Takuma Inoue on November 9, 2019, at Japan’s Saitama Arena.

In that same place, Filipino Nonito Donaire (40-6, 26KOs), a former champion in four divisions, lost in a great fight against Naoya Inoue (Takuma’s older brother).

This combat has been rescheduled due to several inconveniences, but this time this attractive bout will go ahead without problems.
