According to Ignacio Huízar, co-promoter of WBC/WBA super flyweight champion Cristian Mijares (36-3, 15KOs), a deal has been reached to fight IBF champion Vic Darchinyan (30-1, 24KOs) in a unification bout that is slated for November 1 or November 8, with the Staples Center in California or the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas as possible venues.
"The fight is signed with Darchinyan, the only things we need is a set date and place", said Huízar to Busca Todo.
Last month, Darchinyan battered Dimitri Kirilov to capture the IBF title with a fifth-round knockout. A win over Mijares, considered one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world, would go a long way to re-position himself among the best after suffering a crushing knockout at the hands of Nonito Donaire.
Mijares is one of the most active champions in the sport, fighting four times in 2007, including a one-sided beating of Jorge Arce, and already piling up three wins in 2008. Mijares has been undefeated since 2002 and never stopped as a pro.
