    YEREVAN.- Vic Darchinyan dismissed press reports saying he handed
    over his champion's belt to President Serzh Sargsyan in return for
    a territory to construct a sports school.

    After winning IBO title, Vic Darchinyan met with journalists on
    Friday to comment on the bout against Evans Mbamba and dismiss
    numerous rumors.

    "I handed over my belt to President Sargsyan to express my gratitude
    for his presence at the fight and sponsoring the event but not for
    getting a territory for a sports school. Only after learning about
    President's participation and assistance international federation
    gave a permission to hold the fight in Armenia," Darchinyan explained.

    As regards a sports school, famous boxer said he will purchase the
    territory at a cheaper cost to build a boxing school for children in
    Yerevan. He also stressed that U.S. experts will be invited to build
    the school.
