A veteran in the world of boxing, Nonito Donaire is preparing to make history once again. At 42 years old, this seasoned fighter aims to secure a world title at 118 lbs, which would establish him as the oldest bantamweight champion ever. Scheduled for June 14 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Donaire will face Chilean contender Andres Campos for the interim WBA bantamweight crown. This bout is part of the WBA's KO to Drugs festival held at Casino Buenos Aires. With an impressive career spanning numerous achievements, Donaire seeks to add another milestone to his legacy.

The Filipino Flash has shown remarkable longevity and determination throughout his career. Now set to compete against Campos, who boasts a record of 17-2-1, this matchup presents both opportunities and challenges. While Campos has experienced mixed results recently, including a decision loss to Sunny Edwards in 2023, Donaire represents a significant step up in competition for the Chilean fighter. Donaire himself suffered a setback last July when he lost to Alexandro Santiago while attempting to claim the vacant WBC bantamweight title—a victory that could have rewritten history books earlier.

In 2021, at age 38, Donaire achieved a notable triumph by defeating former sparring partner Nordine Oubaali for the WBC bantamweight belt. That same year, Oubaali retired following one final fight. Throughout his forties, Donaire has pursued a highly anticipated matchup with Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez, though it never materialized. Consequently, this new opportunity may represent his best chance yet at reclaiming glory.

For fans eagerly anticipating this clash between experience and resilience, the stage is set in Argentina. As Donaire steps into the ring once more, all eyes will be on whether he can achieve what no other bantamweight has done before—becoming the oldest champion in divisional history. Regardless of the outcome, his journey exemplifies unwavering dedication and passion for the sport.
