wo of the Philippines' best fighters in the squared arena is set to make a historical and formidable comeback on March 28, Saturday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum (Quezon City, Philippines) via Pinoy Pride 30: D-Day presented by ABS-CBN Sports and ALA Promotions and which will be aired on Pay Per View on The Filipino Channel (TFC).  Pinoy Pride 30: D-day is Pay Per View on TFC' first live offering worldwide.

Headlining the bout are WBO Light Flyweight champion Donnie Ahas Nietes (34-1-4, with 20 knockout wins) and former world boxing champion Nonito The Filipino Flash Donaire (33-3-0 with 21 knockout victories).

Nietes, who recently made boxing buzz after surpassing the late great Gabriel Flash Elorde' record as the longest-reigning Filipino world champion for more than seven years, will defend his title against Mexico' Gilberto Parrita Parra with a record of 19 wins, and 2 losses with 17 victories by knockout. The diminutive Nietes, who hails from Bacolod City (Visayas, Philippines), an orthodox fighter, stands 5'3 and with a reach of 66.5 or 167 centimeters, promises a good fight and will make sure his belt stays where it is now around his waist.

Donaire meantime, who lost his most recent fight against Jamaica' Nicolas Walters after a devastating sixth round TKO last October in California, is set to prove his detractors wrong and show that he still bears a burning torch inside him in his upcoming fight against Brazilian fighter William Prado. Both flaming fighters will go head-to-head for the vacant WBC North America Boxing Federation (NABF) Super Bantamweight championship. The 32 year-old Donaire, who was born in Talibon, Bohol (Visayas Philippines) and currently resides in California, U.S.A., stands 5'5½, and with a reach of 68 or 173 centimeters.

Also fighting on the card is reigning IBF Intercontinental Super Bantamweight champion Prince Albert Pagara, a Leyte (Visayas, Philippines) native, as he defends his title against former WBO NABO Super Bantamweight champion Rodolfo Fofo Hernandez of Mexico.
