Nonito Donaire, Jr. (born on November 16, 1982) is a Filipino-American professional boxer. Currently, he is the WBA World Super Flyweight Interim Champion, and is currently rated by Ring Magazine as the number four pound-for-pound boxer in the world. Donaire is also the former IBF World Flyweight and IBO World Flyweight Champion.
As an amateur, Donaire won three national championships: the National Silver Gloves in 1998, National Junior Olympics in 1999, and the National USA Tournament in 2000. He also won the International Junior Olympics in 1999. Donaire and his brother Glenn reached the final stages of the light-flyweight US Olympic trials in 2000 and were eliminated by fellow Filipino-American Brian Viloria.
Donaire turned professional in 2001, and on July 7, 2007, he won the IBF and IBO World Flyweight Title with a 5th round knockout of then-undefeated Vic Darchinyan. He defended the titles a total of three times before vacating them to move to the super-flyweight division. Donaire then won the WBA interim World Super Flyweight title on August 15, 2009, after defeating Rafael Concepción by unanimous decision. (Ref: Wikipedia)
