EXCLUSIVE: Vanes Martirosyan calls out ‘K9’ Bundrage for June 9

The 25 year-old, who has amassed an impressive 32-0 record with 20 stoppages so far, is currently ranked highly by the WBC and is said to be on the verge of a match-up with James Kirkland for the chance to meet title-holder Saul Alvarez.

Armenian-born Martirosyan, who is now based in California, has eyes for Bundrage’s red belt on the Pacquiao v Bradley undercard, even as the former contender star is penciled in to face mandatory challenger Cory Spinks on June 23rd.

“I would love to fight K9. It’s a fight I wanted for a while. I think it a great fight for the fans,” Martirosyan exclusively explained to World Boxing News.

“June 9th is the date we are looking at, and it would be a fantastic time to challenge for the title at the MGM Grand.

“Bob Arum promised me a big fight for my next fight and want this to be it. I hope K9 steps up and fights me,” he added.

The fight may not be a case of Bundrage accepting the fight. The IBF would have to sanction any contest and ensure the winner faces Spinks.

This is due to the former champion already signing his part of the contract to meet the champion Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood.
