/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Promoter of the Armenian boxer Vic Darchinyan
Gary Shaw is pushing for Nonito Doneir (Philippines) to fight WBC/WBA
superflyweight champion Viv Darchinyan in June with Southern California
being a likely landing spot for the fight, BoxingScene.com reported.

"Nonito would like to get another fight in before June, so we’ll see.

He definitely wants Darchinyan. If a deal can be worked out we will
make the fight at 115 where Nonito is fighting at now. Nonito really
wants to be busy and fight for 4 times this year," the manager of
Cameron Dunkin said.

If Doneir makes short work out of Guerrero, maybe Top rank can squeeze
him in fight with Arce in April, but a bad cut or other injury could
jeopardize the Darchinyan rematch.
