The 25-year-old Gaballo's fee was 150 thousand dollars. In this performance, Donaire defended his WBC Bantamweight champion belt, which he won in May.
In the next fight, Donaire may have a rematch in the spring with Naoya Inoue, the owner of the IBF and WBA belts in the same weight category. In November 2019, the Japanese defeated the Filipino in a spectacular and competitive battle.
