European, Inter-continental, and female champions aside, Armenia has two recognized world champions (Vic and Abraham). With a population of about 3.2 million, this comes out roughly to 0.6 world champs per million people.Vic, Arthur Abraham, Koren Ghevor, Susi (female boxer), Yuri Barashian.

Cool. I was just trying to come up with countries with small populations and a lot of current champions. Presently, Armenia is producing a lot of world class boxers. Are those the only two champions Armenia has ever produced?European, Inter-continental, and female champions aside, Armenia has two recognized world champions (Vic and Abraham).

Add two to that list: William Abelyan and Artur Grigorian. Doesn't change much though.European, Inter-continental, and female champions aside, Armenia has two recognized world champions (Vic and Abraham).

Abelyan's NABO titles don't count as world titles, as these are regional. Grigorian is from Uzbekistan, not Armenia. So the number remains at two. Not bad for a country with 3.2 million people, tho.Add two to that list: William Abelyan and Artur Grigorian.
