MANILA, Philippines – “The Filipino Flash” Nonito Donaire addressed the media in Manila at a press conference earlier this week at the EDSA Shangri-La. Professing his confidence heading into his May 31 bout with WBA featherweight titleholder Simpiwe Vetyeka in Macau, Donaire (32-2, 21 knockouts) relished the opportunity to be an underdog for a change, the first time he’s held that role since his 2007 knockout of Vic Darchinyan.

Donaire, 31, was accompanied by his father/trainer Nonito Donaire Sr., plus Hong Kong prospect Rex Tso and Macau-based fighter KK Ng, who will also be fighting on the Top Rank promoted card at the Venetian Resort.
Donaire has won titles at 112, 115, 118 and 122 and is looking to win one in his fifth division. Vetyeka, 33, of South Africa is making the first defense of the title he won by knocking out Indonesian Chris John last year. – Rappler.com
