The "Raging Bull" Vic Darchinyan - WBC/WBA and IBO - super flyweight
champion is back to Armenia after his victory over Filipino Eric
Barcelona in Australia. Darchinyan hosted the media representatives
today and told Fernando Montiel is going to be his next rival in
August.
"First, I'd like to state that having an injury on my hand we were
to postpone the match for 2-3 weeks. I'm going to have a bout with
Montiel in the same weight I won Barcelona. He has WBO and WBC belts.
But still IBO belt is of greater significance and value. That
federation offered me bout for super champion's title. All the
federations came to an agreement to have that match. And most probably,
the match with Montiel will have that kind of significance.
So my next rival has had a match in Japan a week ago and he won in
the third round with knockout.
By the way, it's 6-7 years he is the master of that title. I've thrown
down the gauntlet. His representatives say Fernando should have another
bout and we're supposed to sign deal after that," Armenian boxer said.
To the question why Vic Darchinyan doesn't have his trainings in
Armenia, the boxer said: "I've been asked that question many times.
I've friends here whose care will make me fight in super heavyweight
class. I've good training conditions in Australia and I don't have
problems with sparing rivals," champion said.
