McDonnell To Defend WBA Title In April

Jamie McDonnell is set to defend his WBA bantamweight title in April before a possible summer unification fight with fellow WBA titleholder Juan Carlos Payano.

 

The Doncaster based champion holds the WBA belt while Dominican Republic born Payano, is the ‘Super champion’.

 

Over the years the World Boxing Association has allowed two or three champions to be crowned at the same weight but now it appears the WBA are taking steps to redress the situation.

 

"We are planning a defence for Jamie on April 9 at the O2 with a view to face Payano in the summer," Hearn told Sky Sports.

 

"We also love the Lee Haskins fight and have various offers from the States."

 

Haskins, who was originally the IBF interim bantamweight champ, claimed the full title last November after champion Randy Caballero failed to make weight for their title fight in Las Vegas.
