Israel Vazquez: I am interested in a fight with Darchinyan
Fresh from his eleven round stoppage of Jorge Arce, WBC/IBF/WBA super flight champion Vic Darchinyan is looking at big challenges in the higher weight divisions. One name that Darchinyan has mentioned in a few interviews is Israel Vazquez.

Gary Shaw, who promotes Darchinyan, said his fighter continues to ask for a fight with Vazquez. "So, we have a lot of opportunities and we will talk about it as a team," he said.

Vazquez, who hopes to be medically cleared to fight in June, is very interested in a fight with Darchinyan.

"Vic is a great fighter. A good champion, strong, and I look forward to it. If we can do it, let's do it," Vazquez said, boxingscene.com reports.
