USA Olympian Vanes ‘Nightmare’ Martirosyan, a hard-hitting super
welterweight, will box on Top Rank’s big fight card which will feature
three-time world champion Erik ‘El Terrible’ Morales and former world
champion Manny Pacquaio at the STAPLES Center on Saturday, Sept. 10.

Martirosyan, handled by Shelly Finkel and trained by Freddie Roach, is
from Glendale, Calif.

Martirosyan is 2-0-0 as a pro and lives and trains in Glendale, Calif.
“I was born in Abovyan, Armenia,” said Vanes.

“My Dad was an amateur boxer and I guess he saw it in me too. He said I
had a lot of energy because I was always running around the house. He
took me to a local boxing gym and at the age of seven I began to box. I
wound up with 130 amateur fights and won 120 of those. I speak Armenian,
of course, English and I know a little Spanish. I can pronounce some
words in Russian too,” he said.
