Boxing Buzz Media
East Rutherford, NJ- Local attractions Archak "Shark Attack" TerMeliksetian
and Noriko Kariya have been added to the January 22 Darwish Brothers
Knockout Promotions boxing card at the Meadowlands Sheraton Hotel in East
Rutherford, NJ. Emerging prospects Elvin Sanchez and Victor Valenzuela will
also be featured in separate bouts.
TerMeliksetian, a native of Yerevan, Armenia but now living in Fairview, NJ,
holds a record of 16-7 (13 KO). As an amateur, TerMeliksetian went 98-8 (76
KO), while capturing four Brazilian national titles and four international
championships. He carries a fearsome reputation as a big puncher, as
evidenced by his high knockout percentage. Rejuvenated with a fresh
perspective on the sport, TerMeliksetian looks to get the Shark Attack back
on track.
"This is a big opportunity for me to move in the right direction," says
TerMeliksetian, who campaigns as a super-welterweight. "I need to take some
fights to refocus and regroup. I want to come back stronger than ever and
showcase my abilities as a fighter. I want to put on a great show for the
local fans."
"Archak is still the excellent fighter that people were excited about when
he left the amateurs," says Wally Darwish. "We want to give him the
opportunity to show that he’s still capable of being a top fighter."
Kariya, 9-3-1 (2 KO), comes from an athletic family: all three of her
brothers Paul, Steve and Martin Kariya play professional hockey. Even amidst
that star power, Noriko shines through in her own right as a rising force in
the sport. Kariya grew up in Vancouver, Canada but now makes her home in
Jersey City, NJ, the hometown of Arturo Gatti and cruiserweight kingpin
Tomasz Adamek. Through her diligence and work ethic, Kariya has been a
positive figure in the ranks of women’s boxing.
