Undefeated IBF flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan has lashed out at claims by budding superstar Jorge Arce that he will take on all comers. Earlier this week in an interview with *********.com, Arce went on the record as saying, "I don't refuse to fight against anyone. I will face the best in the world. Whoever is ready." Darchinyan (26-0, 21 KOs) says he is ready and has been for a long time. "How can he say all this stuff if I'm challenging him all along?" Darchinyan asked *********. "I'm a world champion. I'm putting my two belts on the line and I want to fight him. If he's a good fighter, why didn't he take my fight? If he wants to fight the tough guys, if he wants to show his power, why is he scared of me? Why is he running from me? I'm calling him a chicken."

Darchinyan is next scheduled to face Glenn Donaire October 7 on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. "I'm going to knock him out," vows Darchinyan. "After that, I'm again challenging all champions in my weight division. If they take the fights, I'll unify. If they don't take the fights, then I'll move up. I want to challenge Arce. I want to fight him. I want to show everyone how I can knock him out. He's running from me. I want everyone to know about that."
