    RAGING WELCOME: MEDIA GREETS VIC "RAGING BULL" DARCHINYAN

    Vic Darchinyan comes home to share his success with his countrymen

    As he often does after big fights, boxing champion Vic Darchinyan
    came home to Armenia where he met media today (June 4) after his May
    victory over Filipino Eric Barcelona in Australia.

    The "Raging Bull" Darchinyan - WBC/WBA - super flyweight champion
    was greeted with champagne in his home country from which he took
    his skills to Australia and on to a 35 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw career
    so far.

    The latest victory on his remarkable ring resume came although the
    champ fought with a broken left hand in the 12-round fight (Darchinyan
    is left-handed).

    Darchinyan used his visit to Armenia to announce an early September
    match against Mexican Fernando Montiel for the WBC super champion
    title.

    Darchinyan told friendly media that he usually enters a ring as a
    'hungry wolf', because before that he eats too little to lose weight.

    (Super flyweight's maximum allowance is 115 pounds - 52.2 kilos.)

    "My aim is to enter a ring and to drop my opponent," Darchinyan says.

    Darchinyan says that the reason he doesn't train for his upcoming
    fight in Armenia is because he is distracted by having his friends
    and relatives here.

    Darchinyan also told media that he will no longer pursue a rematch
    with Filipino Nonito Donaire, who dealt Darchinyan his only knockout
    (flyweight division), in 2007.

    "I've pursued Donaire for three years, but he delays signing a contract
    all the time," Darchinyan says.

    The 34-year-old prizefighter says he'll compete for two or three more
    year, then become a boxing promoter.
