By Allan Fox: Former four division world champion Nonito Donaire (34-3, 22 KOs) opted not to take part in the World Boxing Council’s purse bid for a 122lb WBC eliminator bout against #1 WBC Hugo Ruiz, according to Philboxing. The 32-year-old Donaire instead is taking a tune-up fight against Anthony Settoul (20-3, 8 KOs) on July 18th at the Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort, Macao, Macao S.A.R., China.
After that fight, Donaire wants to face unbeaten WBA super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg. For that to happen, Quigg will need to win his fight on July 18th against former IBF 122lb champion Kiko Martinez.
