'Raging Bull' eyeing ninth world title belt next month
IBO bantamweight champion Vic Darchinyan (37-3-1, 27 KO's) is out to
win his ninth world title belt on December 3rd when he attempts to
unify the 118lb division against WBA title holder Anselmo Moreno at
the Honda Center in California.
The 35 year-old won his first world crown in 2004 at flyweight,
a division he also unified a year later, before repeating the feat
at super-flyweight. The Armenian now attempts to complete a third
at bantamweight as he looks to move just one belt behind the great
Oscar De La Hoya.
"I think the most belts, Oscar de la Hoya won 10 world titles, I have
eight belts, I am chasing more," Darchinyan told World Wide of Sports.
"I'd love to have three more belts, that's my goal, that's what I'm
going for. I want to have three more belts and I become No.1 in the
history of boxing.
"After retirement I want to be someone that people are going to talk
about, remember me, everyone is going to mention my name."
Darchinyan has also revealed his plans to move up to super-bantamweight
in 2012 and has already been challenged by WBO champion Jorge Arce,
whom he stopped in eleven rounds in 2009.
"I will go to super bantamweight 100 per cent next year," explained
the eight-belt champion.
"If before I can fight unification of the bantamweight world titles
I can collect all belts here and become undisputed world champion,
I'd love to do it.
"If someone challenges me for a unification, I will wait, if not I'll
move further up in weight.
"Jorge Arce has become a world super bantamweight world champion. When
I fought him the first time, he told me 'I want a rematch with you.'
"I told him 'anytime you have a belt, I'd love to fight you."
