Vanes Martirosyan will now fight Ryan Davis at the Home Depot Center
in Carson on July 7th after the contest was pushed back from the
original date of June 16th at the Sun Bowl in Texas.
26 year-old Martirosyan was due to participate in an eliminator for
the WBC light-middleweight title against Erislandy Lara in the summer,
but turned down the fight as the Glendale fighter wanted a guarantee
to fight title hold Saul Alvarez next.
The unbeaten Armenian-born fighter will now meet Davis, 33, on the
undercard of Nonito Donaire and Jeffrey Mathebula's super-bantamweight
unification contest and is happy with the switch closer to where he
resides.
"I talked to Top Rank to make sure it was official," Martirosyan's
uncle and manager Serge told The Glendale New-Press. "Hopefully we
will get a good crowd. Vanes is glad it's in L.A. It's in his
hometown."
"It will be good to come back home and give my fans thanks for their
support," Vanes added. "It's better than going to Texas.
"I probably won't even stay at the hotel. I will stay home and it's
always good to be home."
