Donaire eyes 4th-division title
FILIPINO three-division champion Nonito Donaire, Jr. will most likely aim for a fourth division crown sometime in February.
A report from the World Boxing Organization has stated they are about to declare a battle for the vacant superbantamweight crown between former champion Wilfredo Vazquez. Jr. of Puerto Rico and Donaire, their newly installed no. 1 contender.
Donaire recently gave up his WBO bantamweight crown, which was claimed by Mexican Jorge Arce just last weekend by decisioning Angky Angkota of Indonesia.
Before aiming for the title vacated by Donaire, Arce was the holder of the WBO 122-lb crown, which the Mexican also gave up.
It seemed apparent that both Donaire and Arce had a deal that would give both fighters momentous achievements without fighting each other.
In winning the bantamweight belt, Arce has laid claim to being the first Mexican to win five division world titles.
Donaire, meanwhile, will be gunning for his fourth division tiara that will be four short of current Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao.
The 28-year-old Donaire has won crowns in the flyweight, superflyweight and bantamweight divisions.
Both Donaire and Arce are promoted by Top Rank big boss Bob Arum.
DOUBLE VENGEANCE. Revenge for both a compatriot and his father’s protégé may serve as a motivation for Donaire in facing Vazquez.
The once-beaten Vazquez crowned himself WBO superbantamweight ruler when he knocked out former WBO superflyweight champion Marvin Sonsona inside four rounds in February of last year in Puerto Rico.
When he fought Vazquez, Sonsona was also undefeated and lost his WBO 115-lb crown when he failed to make the weight in his first title defense that ended in a draw.
The 21-year-old Sonsona trained for the Vazquez bout under the guidance of Nonito Donaire, Sr.
“Back then, I took everything for granted and spent more time with my friends than inside the gym. I learned a lot from it and now I am determined to win another world crown,” said Sonsona.
October of this year, Sonsona went back to his winning ways by decisioning Mexican Carlos Jacobo in Cebu. The bookmaker also takes bets on tv exhibits like Psychic Challenge, What?
