Luís Arias (born June 12, 1990) is an American professional boxer.[1][2]

Amateur career

Arias was born in Milwaukee to a Nicaraguan mother and a Cuban father. He took up boxing at 8, at the United Community Center under Israel "Shorty" Acosta. He was the 2008 and 2010 U.S. national champion at middleweight.[3] He's also won a gold medal at the National PAL Champion, an AIBA Youth World Championships bronze medal, and a Silver medal at the National Golden Gloves.[4] Arias finished his amateur career with an impressive record of 140-25.[5]

Professional career

Arias is a promotional free agent, working most recently with Mayweather Promotions.[6] Arias made his debut on November 2012, beating Josh Thorpe via unanimous decision in a four-round bout. On August 2016, Arias defeated Darryl Cunninham for the USBA middleweight title. Arias fought Arif Magomedov on the undercard of Ward-Kovalev II. Arias dropped Magomedov with a right hand in round 5. Magomedov got up, but after Arias landed another big shot, the referee stopped the contest to give Arias a TKO victory.[7]

In 2017, Arias fought Daniel Jacobs on November 11 at the Nassau Coliseum. The fight served as one of the final main event boxing matches on HBO.[8] Jacobs defeated Arias by unanimous decision.[9] Per Nielsen Media Research, Jacobs-Arias was among the top 20 most watched premium cable fights in 2017.[10]. After the Jacobs fight, Arias and Roc Nation amicably parted ways [11]. In 2018, Arias squared off against two-time world title challenger Gabriel Rosado live on DAZN and the two battled to a split draw [12].
