The Yerevan State University welcomed today IBF and IBO flyweight
boxing champion, our compatriot Vakhtang Darchinyan. After a question
and answer section the newly elected Rector awarded the guest with
the gold memorial medal of the Yerevan State University. The faculty
and students congratulated the sports successes of our compatriot and
thanked him for fluttering our tricolor flag and for entering the
ring under Armenian music. It is just due to this reason that very
often the great sportsmen gets deprived of suggestions and contracts
with large companies. Nevertheless, he never calculated the volume
of the possible material loss.
Vik Darchinyan's best tradition is never losing. The feeling of fear
is not for him.
One of the students present at the meeting was interested whether
Vakhtang Darchinyan ever had to fight a Turk or Azeri.
"Now there are no Turks in my weight category. But I have enjoyed that
pleasure. I won the Turkish boxer with a knockout in the first round,"
Vakhtang said without concealing his desire to repeat the knockout.
Darchinyan will soon return to the US to prepare for the fight
scheduled September 2 in Las Vegas. The sportsman has to add his weight
to struggle for the title of the absolute world champion. We still
have an opportunity to be proud and congratulate on this occasion.
