Nonito Donaire will wear pink gloves when he fights the undefeated Omar Narvaez this November 22 atop the ring inside the MSG – WaMu Theater, New York, New York in the United States. Donaire, who only lost to Rosendo Sanchez in March 2001, has been on a 25-win streak. His recent opponents are top boxers in the weight division he is fighting, which includes Fernando Montiel. He won ten out of his twelve recent fights via knockout, which is the reason why he is one of the top five pound-for-pound boxers today. Narvaez last fought against William Urina in June 2006 and won the WBO super flyweight title. Bantamweight Donaire is a passionate supporter of “breast cancer awareness” programs.
He will wear pink gloves to bring more consciousness to his cause. During a press conference at the Edison Ballroom in Manhattan last Tuesday, the number 4 pound-for-pound fighter also got extolments from Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, his promoter. After his sensational knockout against Fernando Montiel last February 11, Donaire tried to transfer to Top Rank’s competitor, Golden Boy Promotions, but because of the contract he signed, he was left no choice but to fight under the promotional company’s banner.
Donaire vs Narvaez will be for the WBC and WBO bantamweight belts. Many believed that 28-year-old Nonito will be the next Manny Pacquiao because of his explosiveness inside the ring and his humility outside the ring. The October 22 fight between Donaire vs Narvaez is going to be entertaining even though it is not a pay-per-view event. The pink gloves of Donaire will bring more support to the program he is supporting and help more women prevent and fight cancer.
