After Oubaali contracted COVID-19, cancellation of their originally scheduled showdown for December. But now, the two are finally ready to face off.
“Winning this fight against Donaire will give me recognition. I am the world champion, but this fight will help people remember my name as someone who beat a future Hall of Famer. Nonito is an experienced fighter, but I feel like I have so much experience. I have fought excellent boxers in my amateur career. I have been fighting at the highest level since I was very young, so I feel like we are both very experienced. That will make it a very exciting and entertaining fight for the fans.
“I am always active and very disciplined. Boxing is my life, and my team and I have the experience to deal with these aspects to keep us going and prepared. Experiencing the quarantine in total isolation was a great mental test, but I think my fighting mentality was key to staying focused. I took advantage of the time to focus on my goals and I had the opportunity to spend more time with my family.’
