A deal has been reached for collision between Darchinyan and Joseph Agbeko

PanARMENIAN.Net - A super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan (32-1-1, 26 KOs) is once again on the move. A deal has been reached between Gary Shaw and Don King for the summer collision between Darchinyan and IBF bantamweight champion Joseph "King Kong" Agbeko (26-1, 22 KOs).

Since the knockout of Jorge Arce in February, Darchinyan expressed his desire to jump up to bantamweight to look for bigger fights. His dream would be a fight against Israel Vazuez, who fights at super bantamweight but plans to move up to featherweight in the near future.

Shaw tells Dan Rafael that Showtime will televise the fight. No firm date is set. The two sides are looking at the month of June. Shaw is still waiting on final approval from the IBF. For the first time in a long time, Darchinyan will be in the ring with a natural power puncher who also has a good chin. The biggest man that Darchinyan has ever faced.

"The fight is made. That's breaking news. It will be on Showtime and be a co-promotion between Don and myself. This is a very tough fight. We have a lot of respect for the 'King.' The question is, will Vic bring his power up to bantamweight with him? I hope so," boxingscene.com cited Shaw as saying.
