Vows to Knock Out Vic Darchinyan
LOS ANGELES - Colombia’s Yonnhy Perez is a usually quiet and humble man but he always speaks the truth with brutal frankness.
“I plan to knock out Vic Darchinyan early in the fight,” said the former IBF bantamweight titleholder Perez who is co-promoted by Thompson Boxing Promotions and Gary Shaw Productions. “I want fight fans to get the message.”
Perez doesn’t mince words or use hyperbole. He lets his fists do the talking and carries out his projections with precision accuracy. He’s trained with extra focus and now intends to lash out with full force on his vaunted foe Darchinyan.

How was training in Colombia?
Training in Colombia was great. I am strong and I have my speed back. I am doing everything to get back into the limelight and into a title contention position. The fight with Abgeko was a great learning experience for me and I don’t want that to happen ever again. I never cut any corners during this or any other training camp so I feel sharp and in great shape to face Darchinyan on April 23.
