Coming off his spectacular second round destruction over Fernando Montiel on February 19th, Two belt Bantamweight champion looks like he will engage in another Unification bout on May 28th against Anselmo Moreno according to Dan Rafael of espn.com
“Bob Arum said Moreno would be the opponent and I’m fine with it. Bob said he can get Moreno, that that is not an issue,” said Donaire’s manager Cameron Dunkin. “Moreno is a really good boxer, a good fighter, but I like Nonito.”
“When I talked to Nonito about what Bob said he had a big smile on his face and said, ‘Let’s go.’ He just really wants to fight. He really does.”
For the HBO-televised opener, plans are in the works to match Philadelphia welterweight Mike Jones against Quebec’s Antonin Decarie (25-1, 7 KOs).
“That’s the plan,” said Russell Peltz, who co-promotes Jones with Top Rank. “[Decarie] is a tough guy, but that’s not a fight you turn down. We’re talking to his people and both sides are interested in the fight.”
