Darchinyan to take on Garcia in Sydney

WBC/WBA super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan (34-2-1, 27 KOs) will be in action again on May 20 when he will clash with Filipino Richard Garcia (21-10-1, 5 KOs) at the Parramatta Leagues Club, Sydney, Australia, fightnews.com reported.

In his last ring outing, Garcia lost a twelve round points decision against Zolani Tete in an IBF elimination bout in 2010. Darchinyan scored a twelve round points victory over tough Mexican Rodrigo Guerro in March.

Darchinyan scored his best wins over Cristian Mijares, who he stopped in nine rounds in 2008, and Jorge Arce in eleven rounds in 2009. His rematch with Nonito Donaire in Los Angeles this August is described as one of the sport's most anticipated bouts.
