Press Release:Â In Miami, Florida, super middleweightÂ
Luis "Cuba" Arias (17-0, 8 KOs) participated in a media workout in advance of his fight against Arif "The Predator" Magomedov (18-1, 11 KOs). Arias-Magomedov is part of the HBO pay-per-view broadcast on June 17th, a Las Vegas show headlined by the world light heavyweight championship bout between Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev. Here is what Arias had to say:
Â
"June 17th, I start cementing my name and legacy in this game! I'm ready to steal the show and prove that I stand amongst the best in the division.
Â
"I've stepped up all levels of training. I train six days a week with two hours of boxing, one hour of strength and conditioning, and run 3.5 - 5 miles on average. I'm also working with one of the top nutritionists, Chris Algieri. He helps me with what to eat and how to monitor my weight. Can't wait to show all of my progress on June 17th.Â
Â
"My message to Magomedov is simple...I hope he comes ready. He better be doing 'em sit-ups. I'm coming!Â
Â
"When I step in the ring, it's not just about getting a win anymore. It's about winning and looking good. Â I've built up my record. Now, I'm looking to put on an A-class performance. That's what is going to make me stand out.Â
Â
"My goal for the second half of 2017 is to put myself in top 'contender' position for what is probably the most stacked division in professional boxing. GGG [Gennady Golovkin], Canelo [Saul Alvarez], [David] Lemieux...bring them on!"
