About face has Vic a chance in Vegas
by Adrian Warren
JEFF Fenech yesterday revealed he was trying to push for his first
fully fledged world boxing champion Vic Darchinyan to make his maiden
title defence on a big Las Vegas card in March.
Armenian-born, Sydney-based Darchinyan won the International Boxing
Federation flyweight title before Christmas with an 11th-round
stoppage of previously unbeaten Irene Pacheco.
Though Darchinyan's trainer Fenech initially talked about a first
defence against unbeaten American Brian Viloria in Hawaii, he has
been looking at other options.
Fenech, who is in the US, said he was trying to get Darchinyan on to
the undercard of the March 19 fight at the MM Grand between
featherweight superstars Erik Morales and Manny Pacquiao.
Fenech is also arranging Danny Green's preparation for his rematch
with World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Markus Beyer in
the US.
Fenech said Green would probably leave for America around February 16
and spend about three weeks sparring in the US.
"We will go to Germany as late as we can," Fenech said from New York.
