Donaire confined due to high fever
MANILA, Philippines - Nonito Donaire was taken to the Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Muntinlupa last night due to high fever, more than two weeks after he defeated Panama’s Rafael Concepcion and became the WBA Interim super-flyweight champion.
Donaire’s wife, Rachel, told The STAR that Donaire started feeling ill the other night, and took some medication. He was in bed practically the whole day yesterday and when his fever reached 40 degrees he was taken to the hospital.
Rachel said doctors are performing several tests on the 26-year-old boxer, and as of presstime there’s no word yet on his condition.
“They’re doing some blood tests on him. Right now they don’t know what’s wrong with him except that his running a very high fever,” said Rachel, who’s hoping that it’s nothing more than a case of the flu. – Abac Cordero
