SABIK na at handang-handa si “The Filipino Flash” Nonito Donaire Jr. na makaharap si WBO bantamweight champion Zolani Tete ng South Africa sa World Boxing Super Series 118lb semifinal sa Abril 27 sa Cajundome sa Lafayette, Louisiana sa United States.

Para kay Donaire na WBA super bantamweight titlist, ito ang unang laban niya sa Louisiana kaya ganado siyang kasahan si Tete.

“Lafayette, Louisiana is definitely going to be an experience,” pahayag ni Donaire.

“There is so much culture all over the United States and I am I’m blessed to be in a tournament that allows me to visit a different state. I’ve heard the food is amazing and I can’t wait to try it out after the fight.”

Goodbye PBA? John Amores, tinanggalan na ng professional license!

Kaagad nagsanay si Donaire makaraang talunin si Briton Ryan Burnett via 4th round stoppage nitong Nobyembre 3, 2018 sa Glasgow, Scotland.

“Training started about two weeks after the Burnett fight. We didn’t know when the fight would be scheduled but we knew the opponent so we stayed head on for Tete. I implemented new training methods that we haven’t tried before and have had a smooth training camp in Las Vegas,” aniya.

“I believe the major difference is building upon what we had in the Burnett fight. I made sure to continue to stay disciplined with my diet and continue to be at the gym. As I said, it wasn’t completely 100% boxing throughout and we did implement training outside of the boxing gym and different drills as well. We made sure to have rest when needed so we could turn it up in these last couple weeks.”

Gayunman, naniniwala si Donaire na kaya niya ang mas matangkad at mas batang si Tete na natamo ang WBO title sa pagtalo sa puntos sa Pilipinong si Arthur Villanueva ng ALA Boxing Stable sa Cebu City.

“Tete is a formidable opponent. He is tall, he is fast, he is slick, but I am a fighter that can fight any kind of style. I can’t wait to the to show the crowd what we’ve been working on,” dagdag ni Donaire.
