Martirosyan will put new title on the line
According to boxrec.com, Vanes “The Nightmare” Martirosyan’s Jan. 16 bout against Kassim Ouma will be the first defense of Martirosyan’s North American Boxing Federation light middleweight title.
The Glendale-based fighter won the NABF belt, the first title of his professional career, on Dec. 19 in a third-round technical knockout of Willie Lee in Youngstown, Ohio.
Martirosyan (26-0, 17 knockouts) will face Ouma (26-6, 16 KOs), a former world title holder, in Las Vegas.
