WBO junior featherweight champion Nonito Donaire has returned to the Undisputed Gym in San Carlos where he will begin training camp for a scheduled July 7 defense against former unified junior bantamweight champ Cristian Mijares of Mexico at Carson's Home Depot Center.

Donaire became the first Bay Area fighter to win belts in four different weight classes after a split decision nod over Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. in February.
