PanARMENIAN.Net -
Promoter of the Armenian boxer Vic Darchinyan Gary Shaw is pushing for Nonito Doneir (Philippines) to fight WBC/WBA superflyweight champion Viv Darchinyan in June with Southern California being a likely landing spot for the fight, BoxingScene.com reported.



"Nonito would like to get another fight in before June, so we'll see. He definitely wants Darchinyan. If a deal can be worked out we will make the fight at 115 where Nonito is fighting at now. Nonito really wants to be busy and fight for 4 times this year," the manager of Cameron Dunkin said.



If Doneir makes short work out of Guerrero, maybe Top rank can squeeze him in fight with Arce in April, but a bad cut or other injury could jeopardize the Darchinyan rematch.
