IBF superfly champ Vic Darchinyan has indicated he wants to knock out Mexican Cristian Mijares, then go after his tormentor Nonito Donaire Jr.
Darchinyan and Mijares are tentatively set to meet in November, and the brash Australian wants no less than a knockout win before avenging his loss to the Arthro Kontra Arthritis-sponsored Donaire.
?Mijares is a good boxer. He beat Jorge Arce who I was chasing,?? Darchinyan told Sportsnut. ?But my power is back and I am boxing better than ever. I will knock out Mijares and then I want a rematch with Donaire. I will KO him, too.?
Lou DiBella, who co-promotes Mijares with Mexico’s Nacho Huizar, and Darchinyan’s promoter Gary Shaw have indicated that the fighters are set to face each other in November, although a date has yet to be found.
?Gary and I have talked a number of times,? said Dibella. ?In principle, we have a deal, but you need a TV outlet. In the lower weights, it might be the best fight among the small guys you can make. If we have a TV network, we can finish a deal in 15 minutes.?
If Showtime can?t find a date, Mijares (36-3-2, 15 KOs) is looking to defend his belts on November 29 in Mexico, possibly against Puerto Rico’s Jose ?Carita? Lopez (37-7-2, 31 KOs).
