Former IBF, WBC, WBA champion Vic Darchinyan is readying for a bout due April 13 or later in the month.

As the boxer told PanARMENIAN.Net, he opted for a new promoter. “Despite good relations with Gary Shaw, I’ll need to work with other promoters to secure some bouts I’m planning. I have two prospective rivals, one of them is Mexico’s José Armando Santa Cruz,” Darchinyan said.

New York or Los Angeles will be selected as a fight venue, the boxer said, adding that he hasn’t abandoned the intention to fight with Nonito Donair and Abner Mares.
