IBF, WBC and WBA Super Flyweight Champion Vic Darchinyan and WBA Interim Champ Jorge Arce both tipped the scales at the 115-pound limit during Friday’s weigh in at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA.

Darchinyan will defend his three 115-pound world titles against Arce, a former world champ in multiple divisions, in Saturday’s main event, live on Showtime Championship Boxing at 9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast.

Antonio DeMarco weighed in at 134 pounds and Almazbek “Kid Diamond” Raiymkulov measured 133.5 pounds as the two will battle for the vacant NABO Lightweight belt and a chance to move one step closer to the top of the stacked lightweight division in Saturday’s co-feature.

The once-beaten, hard-hitting Darchinyan, 31-1-1 (25), of Sydney, Australia, by way of Armenia, will be making his first defense since unifying the 115-pound division with a one-sided ninth-round knockout over Mexico’s Cristian Mijares Nov. 1, 2008, on Showtime.

A winner of five in a row and 31 out of his last 32, the popular, crowd-pleasing Arce, 51-4-1 (39), of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, is the current WBA interim super flyweight champion and is a former WBC 115-pound and WBO 108-pound titleholder.

The event, co-promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, and Bob Arum’s Top Rank, Inc., will take place from the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA.

Remaining tickets, priced at $250, $125, $90, $60, $45 and $35 on sale, can be purchased through Ticketmaster (all Ticketmaster outlets), by phone, 714-740-2000, online at www.ticketmaster.com and at the Honda Center box office. (note: additional tickets at $35, $45 and $60 have been made available)
