Nietes sets eyes
on next division title
World Boxing Organization reigning light flyweight champion Donnie “Ahas” Nietes said yesterday he is giving himself two or three more fights to defend his light flyweight before moving up in weight to the next division.
Before his successful foray in the light flyweight territory, with the rare distinction of being named as The Ring Light Flyweight World Champion, Nietes held the WBO minimumweight title for more than three years before moving up in weight.
Nietes, who was honored in Murcia yesterday as the town’s boxing hero, said he wants to have a crack at the flyweight title and is setting his eyes on fighting the current WBO and WBA champions Juan Francisco Estrada and Roman Gonzalez, the current WBA light flyweight titlist and former WBA minimumweight champion.
