George Arias Inks Co-Promotional Pact With Salita, DiBella Tue Feb 16, 2021, 08:30 PM EST
Salita Promotions proudly announces the signing of undefeated Dominican heavyweight “Gentleman” George Arias (15-0, 7 KOs) to a co-promotional agreement, along with DiBella Entertainment.
Born in San Francisco de Macoris, Dominican Republic, Arias moved to New York City in 1996, at four years old. At age 18, the now 29-year-old started boxing as a hobby at Morris Park Boxing Gym near his home in Brooklyn, but quickly found he had natural talent for the sport. Arias capped off his amateur career by winning the New York Golden Gloves in 2014 and subsequently turned professional in October of that year.
Can you predict a fantasy fight?
Picking the outcome of a real fight is difficult but trying to name the winner of a fantasy fight is impossible, writes Jack Hirsch
A YEAR ago, when I was attending a press conference in Miami Beach, I was interviewed for a podcast that can be currently found on YouTube. During the interview, and please forgive my self-indulgence for a moment, I predicted Tyson Fury would take the fight to Deontay Wilder and stop him in the middle rounds and I said JoJo Diaz would upset Tevin Farmer on the Miami show and win the IBF super-featherweight title. Then I topped it off by picking Teofimo Lopez to defeat Vasiliy Lomachenko when they fought later in the year. All three came to fruition which resulted in me receiving a number of congratulatory messages. If only they knew – because when it comes to predicting the outcome of a match we have all been humbled more than we might care to admit.
