    DARCHINYAN TO FIGHT KIRILOV

    Australia

    Armenian-born Australian Vic Darchinyan will challenge Russia's Dmitri
    Kirilov for his International Boxing Federation super flyweight crown
    in Washington on Saturday.

    Kirilov, 29-3 with one draw and nine knockouts, makes his second
    defence of the title although he is still looking for his first victory
    as champion. He fought Mexico's Cecilio Santos to a draw last February.

    Southpaw Darchinyan, 29-1-1 with 23 knockouts, is a former IBF
    flyweight champion who defended that division's crown six times before
    losing the title to Filipino star Nonito Donaire.

    Donaire stopped Darchinyan in the fifth round in July of last
    year. Kirilov, trained by Freddie Roach, took the IBF crown by
    defeating American Jose Navarro last October.
