RING junior featherweight champion Nonito Donaire takes on unbeaten WBA counterpart Guillermo Rigondeaux on April 13.

RING champion Nonito Donaire will face WBA junior featherweight counter part Guillermo Rigondeaux on April 13 at Radio City Musical Hall in New York.

RING 122-pound champion Nonito Donaire will meet undefeated WBA counterpart Guillermo Rigondeaux in a highly-anticipated clash on April 13 at New York's Radio City Music Hall.

WBA junior featherweight titleholder Guillermo Rigondeaux delivered the kind of performance his promoter was looking for, as he floored Teon Kennedy five times on the way to Saturday night's fifth-round knockout victory.

Nonito Donaire: "I wouldn't even mind finding somebody who tests positive and prove that my ability is better in a natural way -- regardless if he's on it -- and that I can still beat him."

Nonito Donaire's manager on Wilfredo Vazquez Jr.: "This guy is very confident, very cocky, very sure of himself, and he has no fear."

If he gets past Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. on Saturday, Nonito Donaire's promoter sees bouts against Jorge Arce, Toshiaki Nishioka and Guillermo Rigondeaux in the former bantamweight titleholder's immediate future.

Bob Arum believes that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has a dangerous defense of his WBC middleweight belt against hard-hitting veteran Marco Antonio Rubio on Feb. 4.

Nonito Donaire will make his junior featherweight debut in February against Wilfredo Vazquez Jr.
