IAN Donaire of Davao City is already in Cebu but he is still in training for his fight against undefeated Kit Ceron Garces of Talisay City.

They will fight for the World Boxing Foundation Australasian flyweight title on November 5 at Talisay City Sports Complex in Talisay City.

“I was busy with my training so I couldn't reply,” said Donaire.

Donaire has been training for more than a month now with coach Jujith Aredidon.

Donaire and Garces will fight for 112 pounds and 8-rounds.

“It's just a good fight. He is also a good opponent and strong,” said Donaire, who will turn 24 on November 5.

In his last fight, Donaire knocked out Armando Yee of General Santos City in the 2nd round last October 26, 2019 at the Babak Gym in Samal Island.

Donaire has four wins, one loss, one draw and three knockouts while the 24-year-old Garces has four wins, all by knockout.
