THE BIG FIGHTS KEEP ON COMING TO BOXNATION!
DONAIRE v NARVAEZ ADDED TO SUPER LINE UP
The latest addition to an action-packed October is the potential thriller between WBO/WBC World Bantamweight Champion and Top-Five pound-for-pound fighter Nonito Donaire against two-time world champion Omar Andres Narvaez, LIVE on BoxNation (Sky Platform Ch. 456) on Saturday 22nd October from the Mecca of Boxing – New York’s Madison Square Garden.
“Filipino Flash” Donaire has being hailed as the new Manny Pacquaio with an explosive all-action style just like his fellow countryman. He’s unbeaten in nine years and on a 25-fight unbeaten run with knockout wins over IBF/IBO World Flyweight Champion Vic Darchinyan and fourth-round KO of former WBA World Bantamweight Champion Wladimir Sidorenko. The best win so far has been against WBC/WBO World Bantamweight Champion Fernando Montiel who he stopped in the second round.
Argentina’s Narvaez, a two-time Olympian, won his first world title – the WBO World Flyweight Championship – in only his 12th fight against Adonis Rivas. He defended the title an amazing 16 times in a seven year reign before vacating and stepping up a division. Narvaez then claimed the Vacant WBO Super-Flyweight title with a win over Everth Briceno and has since made three successful defences.
Coming up LIVE on BoxNation this Saturday (22nd October) night is the British blockbuster showdown between WBO World Light-Heavyweight Champion Nathan Cleverly and bitter rival Tony Bellew from a packed crowd at the Liverpool Echo Arena; then the action switches to the Staples Centre in LA where the legendary Bernard Hopkins defends his WBC World Light-Heavyweight title against Chad Dawson.

Then the following night, a LIVE international DOUBLE-HEADER begins in Germany with Marco Huck’s WBO World Cruiserweight title defence against Rogelio Omar Rossi; switching to New York for Nonito Donaire’s WBC/WBO World Bantamweight Title defence against Omar Andres Narvaez.
