Vahe Sarukhanyan and Arman Galstyan to contest WBA Gold International belt in Sochi

Armenian boxers Vahe Sarukhanyan and Arman Galstyan will meet in the main event of an RCC Boxing show in Sochi on December 19, 2026. The WBA Gold International belt in the 63.5 kg division will be at stake.

The professional boxing event will take place at RED ARENA at the Krasnaya Polyana resort. For Sarukhanyan, it will mark his first fight at home in five years.

Vahe heads into the title clash with a record of 22 wins, four losses and two draws, including four knockout victories. Support from the local crowd will provide added motivation for the experienced boxer.

His opponent, Arman Galstyan, represents Mozhaysk and remains unbeaten as a professional. He has eight wins, including three by knockout. The bout against Sarukhanyan offers Galstyan an opportunity to claim an international belt and extend his unbeaten run.

The headline contest will therefore bring together two boxers with a considerable gap in professional experience: Sarukhanyan has fought 28 times, while Galstyan will be entering his ninth bout.

Oganes Ustyan, Igor Adleyba, Nestor Dzhanba and German ArdzhEnia are also scheduled to appear on the card. All four competed at RCC Boxing’s August 22 event in Sochi and won their bouts. Their opponents for the December show have yet to be named.
