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 in November 2012, beating Josh Thorpe via unanimous decision in a four-round bout. In 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]
After suffering a points loss to Luke Keeler in Belfast in 2019, Arias rebounded to secure his first win in almost 4 years, when he beat Jarrett Hurd by split decision on June 6, 2021, in Miami on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Logan Paul.[13]
