Donaire, Carl Frampton make weight for world interim title bout


Nonito Donaire Jr. and Carl Frampton both made weight for their World Boxing Organization featherweight interim world title fight at the SSE Arena in Belftast, Northern Ireland. 

Donaire tipped the scales at 125.5 pounds, while Frampton came in at exactly 125 pounds, making their title bout on Saturday (Sunday morning, Manila time) official. 

Donaire, 35, is coming off a unanimous decision win over Ruben Garcia Hernandez, and is looking for another run at the top tier of the featherweight division after most recently holding the WBO super bantamweight championship. 

Frampton, 31, is also looking to get back to the top of the 125-pound rankings after losing his WBO title to Leo Santa Cruz last year. The hometown bet is coming off a unanimous decision win over Horatio Garcia.
