MANILA, Philippines ? Boxing champion Donnie Nietes is set to battle his Mexican nemesis, Moises Fuentes, in a rematch that is scheduled to take place in Mexico.
According to Philippine Star columnist Joaquin Henson, Nietes manager, ALA president Michael Aldeguer, has already come to terms with Fuentes? handler, Zanfer Promotions.?
The rematch will take place in Mexico, eight months after the boxers fought to a controversial majority draw at the Waterfront Hotel Pacific Ballroom in Lahug, Cebu.
At stake in the fight is Nietes? WBO junior flyweight title.
Nietes? camp earlier turned down the rematch offer when Fuentes demanded that no Filipino judge be assigned to score their second fight.
In their first bout, Filipino judge Danrex Tapdasan scored it 115-113 for Nietes, while San Diego?s Pat Russell and Las Vegas? Adalaide Byrd saw it 114-all.
Aldeguer cited that Nietes never complained when he was assigned a Mexican judge in two of his three title defenses as WBO minimumweight champion in Mexico.
However, it is not yet clear if the WBO will assign a Filipino or a Mexican for the rematch.
Meanwhile, Aldeguer said Nietes will make a title defense first before battling Fuentes again.
?His next fight will be on Aug. 24 in Cebu. It will be a voluntary defense before the rematch with Fuentes,? he said.
