PanARMENIAN.Net - Boxing champ Vic Darchinyan believes he can win a
record tally of world title belts by the end of next year.
IBO bantamweight champion Darchinyan is gunning for title belt No.9
next month when he fights Panama's WBA bantamweight super champion
Anselmo Moreno in California.
The big-hitting southpaw couldn't find room on a table to accommodate
all of his belts on Friday, November 4, when it was announced the
Moreno fight would be shown on free-to-air television station 7mate,
ninemsn.com.au reports.
"I think the most belts, Oscar de la Hoya won 10 world titles, I have
eight belts, I am chasing more," Darchinyan said. "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 thinks he can attain the landmark by the end of 2012
by beating Moreno and having two more title bouts next year. He is
determined to move up to super bantamweight in 2012, but could stay
at bantamweight after the Moreno fight if there is a chance to unify
the division.
"I will go to super bantamweight 100 per cent next year," Darchinyan
said. "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."
