}} Vakhtang "Vic" Darchinyan ((アルメニア語:Վախթանգ Դարչինյան); born 7 January 1976) is an Armenian Australian professional boxer and former three-division world champion, having won eight titles in three different weight classes. He has held the IBF flyweight title, as well as the undisputed WBA, WBC and IBF super flyweight titles. He has also captured a record four IBO titles in three weight classes. A southpaw boxer with a unique fighting style, Darchinyan (along with Jeff Fenech) is the only Australian three-division world champion in the sport's history. On 16 December 2004, Darchinyan became the first ethnic Armenian to capture a world title when he defeated the previously unbeaten and defending IBF flyweight champion, Irene Pacheco of Colombia, by eleventh-round TKO. == Personal life == 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.〔(Darchinyan keen to take on UFC ). theTelegraph (2010-02-14). Retrieved on 2012-05-17.〕 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.〔(HyeFighters’ Fathers Interview ). HyeFighters (2011-12-08).
