Thursday February the 23rd has been confirmed for the formal press conference announcing the April 13th unification bout between Guillermo Rigondeaux and Nonito Donaire in Manhattan, at either the Radio City Music Hall (where the fight will take place) or Madison Square Garden. Reports vary on the location.
This is very good news.
In other more selfishly good news, ESPN has hired me on to write a profile of Rigondeaux for this upcoming championship match and I'm to work with them on that.
Six years after meeting Rigondeaux for the first time in Havana back in 2007, I'm still shaking my head that this moment is finally on the horizon for him. What he had to give up to get here is beyond comprehension. Best of luck...
