After eight grueling weeks of intense training, Vic “Raging Bull” Darchinyan (37-4-1, 27 KOs) is ready to leave everything in the ring when he challenges WBC bantamweight champion, Shinsuke Yamanaka (15-0-2, 11 KOs) for his title on April 6 in Tokyo, Japan.
Having won world titles in the flyweight and super flyweight divisions, Darchinyan seeks another championship in his third weight class. No one can deny the heart and strength of mind it takes to win one world championship, let alone three, and Darchinyan is on his way to making history if victorious against Yamanaka.
“The training is done and I’m ready to dethrone Yamanaka,” said Darchinyan with confidence. It was an exhausting training camp, but I paid the price and I’m in excellent shape.”
“Getting a victory in Japan will be a difficult task, except my determination to bring home another world title is driving me like never before. I’m confident that I’ll be crowned world champion once again.”
Shinsuke Yamanaka has been relentless since going the distance with Zaragoza Uema back in October of 2008, winning his last nine bouts, all by knockout. Against Darchinyan, he’ll be fighting in his home country, giving him a distinctive advantage.
“I’m excited to see what Darchinyan has planned for Yamanaka,” Shaw said. “His style is always pleasurable to watch and I know he wants to end this fight early. This fight has fireworks written all over it. The fans in Japan will be in for a great night of boxing.”
“I want to thank Mr. Honda and the WBC for making this fight possible,” said Darchinyan’s manager, Elias Nassar. “Vic has been a great ambassador to the sport of boxing and he’s worked very hard to put himself in position to capture another world title. All the training is finalized and he’ll be ready for war on April 6 in Japan.”
If Vic fights Donaire again he’d get beat up once again, Donaire does not need to waste his time with Vic.
If he wins against Yamanaka, he should have a rematch with Nonito Donaire. No alibis.
