Timeline
Vakhtang "Vic" Darchinyan (Վախթանգ Դարչինյան; born 7 January 1976) is an Armenian former professional boxer who competed from 2000 to 2017.
Darchinyan was born on 7 January 1976, in Vanadzor, Armenia.
His father, Ruben Darchinyan, was an Olympic wrestling coach for Armenia.
Ruben's name can sometimes be seen on Vic's boxing trunks.
Vic has a sister named Liana.
Vic wanted to become a boxer at the age of 5 and dreamed of becoming a world champion in the professionals.
His father told him there was no professional boxing in Armenia (or any Soviet countries; this changed when the Union fell in 1991) and instead wanted Vic to follow in his footsteps and take up wrestling.
Vic also wrestled as a kid, but always continued to say he would become a world champion someday.
He eventually left wrestling in pursuit of his dream to become a world boxing champion.
Vic Darchinyan won a bronze medal at the 1998 European Amateur Boxing Championships in Minsk.
He also won a bronze medal at the 1998 Goodwill Games.
In the same year, Darchinyan won a bronze medal at the 1998 Boxing World Cup.
Vic fought in many different countries and participated for Armenia in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.
He went to the third round in the 112 lb division before losing against Bulat Jumadilov of Kazakhstan.
Darchinyan moved to Australia after competing in the Olympics and eventually became an Australian citizen later in the same year.
Darchinyan turned pro at the age of 24 on 3 November 2000.
From November 2000 to December 2004, Vic built up a record of 21–0 (16 ko's) and captured the Australian, Oceanic and Pan Pacific flyweight titles.
Darchinyan and his wife Olga, an English teacher, met near an Opera House in Sydney, Australia in 2001.
They got married a year later.
After knocking out former 2-division world champion Wandee Singwancha in an IBF eliminator on 13 June 2003, he earned the IBF #1 mandatory ranking.
He held multiple 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 between 2008 and 2010.
A southpaw with a highly unique fighting style and formidable punching power, Darchinyan became the first Armenian boxer to win a world title in 2004.
He won his IBF title on 16 December 2004 in his first fight in the United States, defeating respected then-undefeated champion Irene Pacheco of Colombia, via 11th round technical knock-out.
Pacheco had held the title for over 5 years.
Additionally, he held a record four IBO titles at flyweight, super-flyweight, and twice at bantamweight between 2005 and 2011.
Returning to Australia, his first title defense was on 27 March 2005 against long time contender and IBO belt holder, Mzukisi Sikali, in a crowd-pleasing brawl.
By the 8th round, Sikali took a combination body and head shots and turned away in a 'No Mas' fashion, prompting referee Pete Podgorski to step in and wave it off.
Attempting to secure a fight in the US, Vic took a stay-busy fight on 24 August 2005 defending his title against fringe contender Jair Jimenez, whom he floored him in round 4.
The referee stopped fight in the 5th after Jimenez started to walk away from the fight.
Returning to the USA headlining on ShoBox: The New Generation, his third title defense was against Filipino contender Diosdado Gabi on 3 March 2006.
Vic knocked him out with a single straight left in the 8th round.
Three months later, returning to Showtime after the hotly contested Jose Luis Castillo Vs Diego Corrales rubber match fell through, Vic's defense against then-undefeated Mexican contender Luis Maldonado was moved to the main event.
He stopped the tough Mexican in the 8th round.
In his fifth title defense, Vic faced Glenn Donaire on 7 October 2006.
Glenn gave up during the fight, claiming Vic broke his jaw in the 6th round from an alleged elbow attack.
In 2007, the couple had a son named Ruben II.
Vic began boxing at the age of 8 within the community of Vanadzor, where boxing was very popular.
He was trained by the experienced Vazgen Badalyan.
Darchinyan's amateur career record was 158–18 with 105 knockouts.
