According to PhilBoxing.com, the interim World Boxing Association (WBA) champ will arrive in Manila at 10:30 a.m. via Hong Kong. He will be accompanied by his wife Rachel.
Donaire destroyed Vargas in 3 rounds in the main event of Pinoy Power III at the Las Vegas Hilton Pavilion.
He decked the Mexican with a solid left upper cut at 1:40 in Round 3.
After winning the fight, Donaire said he is very much willing to face bitter rival Vic Darchinyan for the Armenian’s unified WBA and World Boxing Council (WBC) super flyweight belts.
Donaire knocked out Darchinyan in the 5th round of their bout in 2007. He won the Armenian’s International Boxing Federation (IBF) flyweight title.
“That’s what I came for and hopefully I’ll get that fight. I’m here, I’m a fighter but I gotta listen to my guys,” he said.
Other possible match ups for Donaire are against reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) super flyweight king Jorge Arce and WBO bantamweight champion Fernando “Cochulito” Montiel.
Montiel stopped Filipino challenger Ciso “Kid Terrible” Morales in the first round of the co-main header of Pinoy Power III.
