LAS VEGAS – Nonito Donaire is in the corner rather than the ring this weekend, but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to swap his boxing gloves for a coach’s spit bucket just yet – not completely, anyway.

Erislandy Lara seems to be sipping from the fountain of youth, but tough Australian Michael Zerafa hopes to have something to slip into his drink.

In a battle between unbeaten prospects, Curmel Moton will take on Anthony Cuba in a six-round junior lightweight tilt on the non-televised undercard of the Tim Tszyu-Sebastian Fundora fight Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Thomas LaManna will face Johan Gonzalez for the WBA Gold middleweight world title on June 8 at Bally’s in Atlantic City, N.J.

This week brings five days with a combined nine boxing broadcasts — one show on Wednesday, one on Thursday, two shows on Friday, four shows on Saturday, and one on Sunday. The biggest of them all is Saturday’s pay-per-view headlined by Tim Tszyu vs. Sebastian Fundora. Tszyu-Fundora is one of four world title fights on the show.

Michael Zerafa, who will face current WBA middleweight titleholder Erislandy Lara on March 30 in Las Vegas, believes his third world title shot will be the charm. But this time, he says, he is older, different and has new motivation.

Australian boxing superstar Tim Tszyu and all-action super welterweight sensation Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora went face to face for the first time on Thursday, at a media workout before they meet for Tszyu’s WBO and the vacant WBC 154-pound world titles headlining a PBC Pay-Per-View event available on Prime Video Saturday, March 30 (Sunday Mar 31 in Australia) from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
