Donaire says fighting in Ireland is like entering ‘lion’s den’

Former 4-division champion Nonito Donaire Jr. acknowledged the challenge of fighting Irish boxer Carl Frampton at the latter’s turf in Belfast.

The “Filipino Flash” will square off with the former 2-division champion at SSE Arena on April 21.


“This is exactly the type of fight I live for — going in against one of the best in the world in the lion’s den of his hometown of Belfast,” Donaire said in an article posted on BoxingScene.com.

“I can’t wait for the first bell! I know I’ll have to be the best I can be on fight night. Make no mistake, I’m already training like never before.”

Frampton himself is excited to welcome Donaire in Belfast.
