Well, my cut has healed completely by now and I have been able to catch up on unfinished projects at www.hondaonly.net , so I have been back in training for a few weeks now with Peter Cunningham and Rick O’ Kane, anxiously awaiting for Kru Nokweed to return from Thailand.

I am proud to say that I have a nice surprise fight scheduled for January 28, 2005 with location TBA to start the new year off with a BANG. I will post the location up next month on the Home Page of my site for all to, so be patient.

As far as other fights scheduled for next year. I have two promoters that I will be fighting for in local shows to keep busy and also to allow my fans to see me without traveling far distances. These are sanctioned boxing events that will feature me as the only kickboxing fight on the show thanks to Cota and Scraptime promotions.

My trainer, Peter has coached me through the sparring sessions with Art Simonyan twice a week at TRU Boxing Gym in Hollywood to keep my reflexes sharp. Art is preparing for the fight of his career for the IBF title taking place in San Diego on December 28, 2004 that will be televised live on Showtime. His profile at Banner Promotions and at Boxrec.com.
Another Armenian fighter Karo Parisyan is currently training to fight in the UFC February 5, 2005 www.ufc.tv/.
Im sorry to announce that two other Armenian fighters have lost their last fight due to controversy. A boxer, Karen Harutunyan lost a fight due to being cut in August where he was ahead on points Boxrec.com and kickboxer Edmund Tarverdyan lost a decision which many people thought he had won. www.kickbox.com/ .

I am currently in search of sponsorship for my upcoming fight … anyone or company interested and would need to see a price sheet you may e-mail me at shawn@shawnyacoubian.com . I am currently ISKA world ranked #10 and have an unstoppable desire to win the title belt within the next two years. /www.iska.com kickboxing ratings
