Australia-based Armenian returns home
Three-weight world title holder Vic Darchinyan (36-3-1, 27 KO's) will
fight in Armenia for the first time in his career as he fulfils a
lifelong dream of defending a world title in the country of his origin.
The 35 year-old puts his IBO bantamweight belt on the line against
South African southpaw Evans Mbamba, 29, at the Karen Demirchyan
Sports Complex in Yerevan as the' Raging Bull' eyes another crack at
Nonito Donaire in the future.
Darchinyan was stopped in five rounds by the unified champion
in Connecticut four years ago and was on the verge of earning a
rematch with the 'Filipino Flash' until Abner Mares decisioned him
controversionally in December last year.
