President Robert Kocharyan received today IBF and IBO Flyweight
Champion, our compatriot residing in Australia Vakhtang Darchinyan
and his first trainer Vazgen Badalyan.
Vakhtang Darchinayn was the first in the history of Armenian sports
to achieve the title of professional boxing champion. Although the
celebrated boxer presents Australia, Ara Gevogyan’s music sounds and
the Armenian tricolor waves before every fight of his.
Wishing success to Vakhtang Darchinayn, the President expressed
his appreciation for the fact that Armenian names come forward in
professional boxing. In his words, every success becomes an expiring
example for many. Vakhtang Darchinayn told about his future plans. He
said he intends to establish a boxing club in Vanadzor. This pursues
one aim – to maintain the wonderful traditions of the boxing school
in Armenia and to have the success of Armenian boxers stay continuous.
