Nonito Donaire, Jr.
Nonito Donaire, Jr. became the oldest bantamweight champion in boxing history Saturday night with a rousing fourth-round knockout of Nordine Oubaali to claim the WBC title. This marks Donaire's third reign as bantamweight champion of the world (See DAZN.com for story).
Nonito Donaire reclaimed the WBO super bantamweight belt after outpointing Cesar Juarez of Mexico Saturday (Manila time) in one of the best fights of the year at Roberto Clemente Colesium in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Donaire, 33, won back the crown he once lost to Guillermo Rigondeaux two years ago after the undefeated Cuban was stripped off his belts due to inactivity, but not after having to survive a gritty Juarez in the latter part of the fight. More in Inquirer.net.
