Four-division world champion, Nonito Donaire, is eyeing up a comeback bout for November.
It was recently announced that Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis will be going head-to-head on November 14.
The fight news came as a shock for many, especially as talks were said to be in advanced stages for Paul to fight Anthony Joshua in his comeback bout.
It promises to be a blockbuster show with the event set to be broadcast on streaming service Netflix, and as a result demand for an undercard spot is set to rocket.
Donaire revealed to The Ring that he sees this as the perfect opportunity to make his return.
He said: “I’m hoping to get on the undercard with Jake Paul and Tank.
“I think that would be a fun fight, it’s a very entertaining fight, that’s just something that puts my options out there.”
While it seems like a longshot, Donaire already has ties to Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions as he has been employed as part of their analytical team.
“I actually got better as a fighter being a commentator. I can break everything down slowly and talk about it, and to me, it helps me out the way I look at my fighting and training.”
Donaire has amassed a record of 43-8, across his 24 years on the professional boxing scene.
The 44-year-old’s last appearance was sent to the scorecards in the ninth-round when he sustained a brutal cut as he clashed heads with Andres Campos on June 14.
That night also saw him claim the interim WBA bantamweight title.
His win when ending his hiatus this year was the first on his record since losing to Alexandro Santiago in 2023.
While the 44-year-old didn’t make it clear if he had an opponent in mind for his next bout he is linked with Antonio Vargas and Seiya Tsutsumi.
Donaire explained: “I got great respect for them, but this is boxing.
“When it comes down to it, I fight everybody.”
What do we know about Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis?
Paul and Davis have been linked to a fight in the past, but now the pair have set a date.
Davis will be fighting the Youtuber-turned-boxer as they meet at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
While Paul was believed to be opposite Joshua the next time we saw him in the ring, the former has confirmed that despite his bout with Davis he still plans to fight the Briton.
It is currently unclear if the bout will be an exhibition, as professional sanctioning could be difficult co come by given their vast size difference.
