Nonito Donaire, “If you take care of business Novemba. 5 against Jessie Magdalendo then how about you step to the line against me,”, said the 15-0 (8 Kos) Urusi.

Tikhonov is a big, strong super bantamweight who knows how to use his height, reach and power,” Salita said of the southpaw pugilist tutored by Igor Shafer in St Petersburg, Russia. “Vladimir is very well schooled and wants to fight the best fighters in the division.
