Undefeated rising junior middleweight prospect Vanes Martirosyan
(28-0, 17 KOs) has received word that he will begin sparring with
Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao next week, fightnews.com reported.
"I just got the phone call and I can't wait to get in there with
Manny," Martirosyan said excitedly.
Martirosyan recently said that he will be the first to collect the
$1000 bounty for knocking Pacquiao down. He looks forward to the
challenge of sparring with Pacquiao which will not only help the
Filipino superstar get ready for his fight with Antonio Margarito but
it will also help Martirosyan get ready for his next fight which is
tentatively set for December 18.
"These so called champs won't fight me but at least I get to spar
with the best fighter out there. I will give him all he can handle,"
Martirosyan stated from his hometown of Glendale, CA.
The Armenia born and southern California raised Martirosyan has waited
patiently on the side lines since his one sided decision victory over
Joe Greene last June. The Armenian was naturally disappointed when
a potential fight with Miguel Cotto fell through after the Puerto
Rican champion decided to sit the rest of the year out.
Pawel Wolak has been mentioned as his next opponent but so far
there has been no indication he wants to face the fighter known as
The Nightmare.
"I have been calling for a big fight but more than anything I want
to stay busy," he shared. "Hopefully somebody has the balls to fight
me this year and after that fight I can fight the winner of some of
these big fights coming up like Paul Williams versus Sergio Martinez."
