Super Flyweight Unification
October 9, 2008 by James Allen
History will be made on Saturday, Nov. 1, when World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Council (WBC) super flyweight world champion Cristian Mijares (36, 3-2, 15 KO) climbs into the ring to face International Boxing Federation (IBF) world champion Vic “Raging Bull” Darchinyan (30, 1-1, 24 KO) at the The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
Tickets may be purchased at The Home Depot Center Box Office, open 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and at all Ticketmaster retail ticket locations, as well as www.Ticketmaster.com and Ticketmaster-Charge-by-Phone, by calling 213-480-3232.
The historic showdown is being co-promoted by DiBella Entertainment, KO Entertainment and Gary Shaw Productions and will air live on SHOWTIME beginning at 9 p.m. ET/PT with a 12-round super middleweight (168 pounds) special attraction – Andre Dirrell vs. Victor Oganov.
The world championship fight is only the third time that multiple 115-pound titles will be up for grabs in the same ring. In 1997, Johnny Tapia outpointed Albuquerque, N.M., rival Danny Romero to unify titles. On May 17, 2008, Mijares won a decision against Alexander Munoz also to unify two belts.
