Aussie boxing champ wants Filipino foe

AUSTRALIA’S new undisputed super flyweight world boxing champion Vic Darchinyan believes he can win world titles in up to five divisions but first he wants to gain revenge over Filipino Nonito Donaire, reports website Sportsnut.

Darchinyan returned to Sydney yesterday after adding the WBA and WBC titles of Mexican Cristian Mijares to the IBF championship he already held.

The Sydney boxer expects to receive his WBA and WBC belts within the next 10 days following his spectacular ninth round knockout of Mijares in California last weekend.

After struggling for press and public recognition in his adopted country, Armenian born Darchinyan was delighted to see a large media turnout at Sydney Airport yesterday morning.

His manager Elias Nassar said a fight with another Mexican superstar, Jorge Arce, in the United States in March was 75 per cent locked in.

Darchinyan predicted he would knock out Arce even faster than Mijares.

The fight with Arce would be at super flyweight, but Darchinyan said his priority was to add more title belts to his collection and to continue rising through the weight divisions.

He needs to win in one more division to equal Jeff Fenech, the only Australian to win boxing world title belts in three divisions.

Donaire handed Darchinyan his only loss in taking the IBF flyweight title last year.

Darchinyan says he will beat Donaire as easily as he manhandled Mijares who was knocked out in nine rounds.
