Nonito Donaire out of Dec. 19 bout with Emmanuel Rodriguez while testing positive for COVID-19
After testing obvious for COVID-19, Nonito Donaire is out of his Dec. 19 bout anti Emmanuel Rodriguez for the vacant WBC bantamweight championship. The news, edifying reported by BoxingScene.com, comes after Donaire's recent opponent for the date also tested obvious for the virus.
Donaire was originally set to face WBC champion Nordine Oubaali on the Showtime prhonor, which is scheduled to take place at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. When Oubaali was formed out due to his positive test, the WBC made Oubaali "champion in recess" and put the now-vacant title on the line for Donaire vs. Rodriguez. Oubaali would then have to face the winner of that struggles in one of his next two struggles as a mandatory opponent, unifying the titles in the treat, or forfeit his status as champion.
Now, with Donaire out, BoxingScene said it is not obvious if Rodriguez will remain on the card, possibly facing Reymart Gaballo, who is scheduled in the opening struggles on the Showtime broadcast. And, should Gaballo be phoned up to the main event to face Rodriguez, it stays uncertain if the WBC would sanction the replacement struggles as a championship contest.
This is the third time COVID-19 has impacted the prhonor, with Thomas Dulorme being forced out of his welterweight bout with Jaron Ennis. Ennis will now face Chris van Heerden.
Donaire is coming off a loss to Naoya Inoue in the finals of the World Boxing Super Series. While Donaire lost the WBA bantamweight championship, he showed that he is aloof a top-tier talent, putting in a mountainous effort in the 2019 Fight of the Year.
Rodriguez lost his own struggles with Inoue, suffering a second round knockout in the WBSS semi-finals. The defeat was the edifying of Rodriguez's career and cost him the IBF bantamweight title.
