Victorious Nietes arrives in Manila

After his successful title defense in Mexico last weekend, Filipino boxing champ Donnie "Ahas" Nietes returned to the Philippines before dawn Wednesday.

Nietes arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 at 5:37 a.m., on a Philippine Airlines PR-103 flight, dwIZ radio reported.

Nietes was welcomed by his manager Antonio Aldeguer and some members of media.

Only last Sunday (Manila time), Nietes defended his World Boxing Organization minimumweight title by pummeling Mario Rodriguez in Mexico.

Nietes said he will leave to Aldeguer the decision to pick his next opponent.

"Depende sa aking manager (It depends on my manager)," he said when asked who his next opponent will be.

The dwIZ report quoted Aldeguer as saying he is considering having Nietes hold his next bout in Bacolod City in his home province of Negros Occidental.

Aldeguer is also considering a fighter from Nicaragua or Thailand as Nietes' next opponent. — LBG, GMANews.TV
