Four-division world champion Nonito Donaire Jr. is all pumped up for his much-anticipated showdown with Japanese Naoya Inoue in the World Boxing Super Series bantamweight final on November 7 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
“Nov .7 Saitama Dome Stadium, ready to grab the titles and raise the Muhammad Ali Trophy. Whos with me?!” said the boxer nicknamed “Filipino Flash” in a Twitter post.
Donaire said he has done the necessary preparations, saying it will take a perfect game plan to defeat the Japanese opponent.
“We are both gifted fighters with speed and power and intelligence. The one who commits the first mistake in the ring, he will lose. I can tell you that this fight could be long like a game of chess,” Donaire said in a boxingscene.com report.
Inoue is a certified knockout artist with 18 of his wins coming by way of KOs.
The 36-year-old Donaire is also unfazed that he is 10 years old than Inoue.
“I feel very motivated and incredibly excited to jump into a fight with Naoya Inoue in Japan, which is a beautiful country that has educated me spiritually,” said Donaire, who has 40 wins (40KOs) and five losses.
