Nonito Donaire’s remarkable return to the bantamweight division has been an anomaly.Boxers typically don’t drop down to lower divisions and succeed as they age, especially those that are approaching 40. Donaire moved back down to the bantamweight limit of 118 pounds, all the way from the featherweight maximum of 126, after suffering a 12-round, unanimous-decision defeat to Carl Frampton in April 2018.

Joshua Franco is now in position to land a dream fight for his next ring appearance. Or at least an upgrade in title status. The current top-rated junior bantamweight is the latest benefactor of the current efforts by the World Boxing Association (WBA) to reduce the number of titlists within its organization. Franco defended a secondary version of the WBA 115-pound crown following a repeat win over Australia’s Andrew Moloney (21-2, 14KOs; 1ND) in the final leg of their bizarre trilogy, which came this past Saturday at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma. San Antonio’s Franco went up 2-0 with one No-Decision in their three-fight set, with aspirations of moving on to bigger game.

UNCASVILLE, Connecticut – Jerwin Ancajas wants to fight Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez more than any other 115-pound opponent. The legendary four-division champion probably won’t be available for Ancajas’ next bout because Gonzalez is pursuing a bigger third fight against Juan Francisco Estrada. If Estrada-Gonzalez III is the next fight for those rivals, Kazuto Ioka would be the only other champion available to face Ancajas later this year in a title unification fight.
