On this week's edition of The Boxing Lab, which is BoxingScene.com's weekly radio show, WBO/WBC bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire spoke on a variety of subjects.

LAS VEGAS, NEV – World Bantamweight Champion and consensus Top-Three pound-for-pound fighter, NONITO “The Filipino Flash” DONAIRE and TODD DUBOEF, President of Top Rank, Inc., announced today that they will move forward together in promoting Donaire’s stellar professional boxing career.

WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire is back in the fold of Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and will return to the ring before his Manila wedding on November 11 this year.

Pound-for-pound star Nonito Donaire was back in the headlines recently when he announced he would be returning to Top Rank after a lengthy legal battle with rival Golden Boy over the fighter’s promotional rights.

The sport of boxing just didn’t seem the same with Nonito Donaire sitting on the sidelines.

Bantamweight Eric Morel must fight on August 13 in Las Vegas, Nevada, but his coach and father, Cyril, said if an opportunity arises to challenge Panama's Anselmo Moreno for the WBA bantamweight champion, they will gladly accept it while not ruling out potential fights with Mexico's Jorge 'Travieso' Arce, the WBO super bantamweight king, and Nonito Donaire, who shines with the the WBC and WBO titles at bantamweight.

WBO/WBC World bantamweight champion Nonito 'The Filipino Flash' Donaire, Jr. has reached an agreement with Top Rank Promotions and worked out their issues, forging a new partnership together working hand-in-hand in moving forward with his boxing career.

BoxingScene.com caught up with IBF bantamweight champion Joseph "King Kong" Agbeko before the press conference to promote his fight versus Abner Mares that takes place on August 13th at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. The fight will determine the winner of Showtime's bantamweight tournament.

WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire’s return to the ring is apparently moving forward.

According to trainer Robert Garcia, a new agreement is close between Top Rank and WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire. Garcia tells Sal Rodriguez that Donaire might return in September or October to avoid being stripped of his two titles, if the new deal with Top Rank goes through. Donaire has been inactive since February's two round knockout of Fernando Montiel. Donaire was caught in the middle of a promotional tussle between Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, but a legal decision solidified Top Rank's position as holding a valid contract over Donaire.
