Boxingscene.com recently caught up with Top Rank CEO Bob Arum to get an update on Brandon Rios and Nonito Donaire.
When asked if undefeated IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook is the best option for Rios. Arum replied, "I think so. It's a great fight. We are talking to Eddie Hearn. I would love for Brandon to fight Kell Brook."
Brook returns on May 30th against Frankie Gavin but has indicated that he would like to fight twice before the end of the summer.
Multi-division champion Nonito Donaire recently told BoxingScene.com that there have been talks for him to face WBA super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg. Arum confirmed there have been talks but said that the potential fight would have to take place after Donaire's July return that is slated to take place in Macau, China.
"We are talking to people about that but I think that Nonito is going to fight in Macau on the 18th of July first. The people love him there," Arum told BoxingScene.com.
