Darchinyan, Bakhtin may clash in Russia
The next goal for Russian boxer Alexander Bakhtin is his former USSR compatriot and famed multi-champion Vic Darchinyan, Boxingscene reported.
“We have already conducted negotiations with Gary Shaw and currently preparing a fight with Vic,” said Bakhtin’s manager Vladimir Hryunov. “There is a possibility this clash will land somewhere in October at the Ice Palace in Balashikha, a few miles to the east of Moscow, or at “Dynamo” arena in Krylatskoye, the recent venue for Denis Lebedev vs. Roy Jones Jr.. Sasha also fought on the undercard of “The Battle of Two Empires,” while Balashikha is an adopted hometown for Bakhtin; he lives and trains there.”
