MANILA, Philippines - The rematch between former world champion Nonito
Donaire Jr. and Armenian-Australian Vic Darchinyan is reportedly
being worked out.
In a Boxing Scene report by Ronnie Nathanielsz, Darchinyan's manager
Frank Espinoza and Top Rank CEO Bob Arum said the time is ripe for
a second face-off between the two former world champions.
Arum said Top Rank president Todd duBeof will be meeting with HBO
Sports to arrange Donaire's comeback between October and November.
In 2007, Donaire rose to stardom by knocking out then undefeated
Darchinyan in the fifth round of their IBF/IBO world flyweight bout.
Darchinyan admitted being shocked by the loss and wanted to get back
at the Filipino Flash.
"[The loss was a shock] to everyone including me. It's a loss I badly
want to avenge," he said.
Donaire recently lost his WBO, RING Magazine and WBC diamond super
bantamweight titles after suffering an upset to Cuba's Guillermo
Rigondeaux.
Darchinyan said he believes Donaire is raring to come back after
the loss.
"I know he's planning to return. I'm here, ready and willing. I want
to finally get my revenge," he said.
