Nonito Donaire is back in camp for his October 22 match against undefeated former WBO flyweight and super flyweight champion Omar Andres Narvaez (39-0-2, 19 KOs). After his seven-month long layoff since knocking out Fernando Montiel in February. Donaire, who entered his third week back in camp on Monday, is currently walking around at around 145 lbs. He's just trying to get back to where his body used to be, and pretty much just getting used to it again. There’s just a lot of tightness; a lot of stuff that he's trying to prevent so I don’t get myself injured trying to get back in shape. Donaire also admitted that a move up in weight may be in the cards as soon as his next fight, as he has noticed a natural increase in his weight. This is where he know that he's gaining a lot of weight: The last time when he was out for a whole year, he usually just go up to 137. This time, it hasn't even been a year or anything like that, and he's around 145. Donaire will diffenitely move up on his next fight.
To help him whip his body back in shape, Donaire has been going through hell with his track and sprint training, under the watchful and stringent eyes of famed track coach Remi Kourchemny. Strength and conditioning coach Michael Bazzel, on the other hand, is focusing on getting Donaire’s core back to where it used to be when he fought Montiel. Head trainer Robert Garcia and Jonathan Penalosa will be rejoining camp soon. Last week, Donaire’s promoter Bob Arum envisioned a fight between he and undefeated featherweight stud Yuriorkis Gamboa. Donaire told me that Gamboa is definitely an opponent he is gunning for in the near future.
