Probellum, the new boxing venture of Richard Schaefer, has signed WBC bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (41-6, 27 KOs) to a promotional contract. A four-weight world champion, the 38-year-old Donaire has also claimed world honors at flyweight, super-bantamweight, and featherweight.
The ‘Filipino Flash,’ joins Regis Prograis, Badou Jack, Eimantas Stanionis, Arthur Biyarslanov, Taras Shelestyuk, Ricky Burns, Eduardo Hernandez and Brandon Moore in the Probellum stable.
News on when Donaire will have his first fight after signing with Probellum will be announced in the near future.
A lot if these fighters were under Al Haymon’s PBC promotions. I wonder what is happening with PBC & Mayweather that they are letting all these fighters go. Maybe Probellun is just a front.
I think some of them, like Badou Jack, just had their contracts expire. Some of the others, especially Donaire and Prograis seemed to bounce around quite a bit. Maybe they never actually had anything official with PBC.
Schaefer is in beast mode !! He’s clearly building an incredible stable of fighters !
I always liked Nonito Donaire.
