Darchinyan heads for WBC bantamweight belt

After eight grueling weeks of intense training, Vic “Raging Bull” Darchinyan (37-4-1, 27 KOs) says he’s 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, Fightnews.com reports.

“The training is done and I’m ready to dethrone Yamanaka,” said Darchinyan. “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.”
