YEREVAN, MAY 24, ARMENPRESS. Retired boxer Vakhtang “Vic” Darchinyan praised the high-level organization of the EUBC Men’s Amateur European Boxing Championships in Yerevan.

Darchinyan, who held multiple professional boxing world championships in two weight classes , including the IBF flyweight title from 2004 to 2007; and the WBA (Undisputed, later Unified), WBC, IBF, and lineal super-flyweight titles, is in Yerevan and is watching the championship.

“This European boxing championship is very well organized. You’d be convinced if you’ve seen the opening ceremony,” Darchinyan told reporters. “Representatives of many European countries are here today, and everyone sees the high-level organization.”

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
