Harry Arroyo 🥊 Beautiful Boxing

Born in Youngstown, Ohio, Arroyo is an American former professional boxer who held the IBF Lightweight title from 1984 to 1985. Nicknamed "Dirty Harry", Arroyo is of Puerto Rican descent and as a child, he reportedly told his 15 siblings about his dream of becoming a nationally known fighter. In the 1980s, he became one of the most recognizable boxers on television and regularly appeared on the covers of boxing magazines. In 1984, Arroyo, with fellow Youngstown native Ray Mancini, was listed among the nation's top 10 contenders by the World Boxing Association. This was after Mancini had lost that organization's world title to Livingstone Bramble. Arroyo fought for nine years as an amateur boxer, winning several Golden Glove tournaments as well as eight AAU Regional Tournaments. As an amateur he had 110 wins and 15 losses. He worked up a record of 40 wins and 11 losses as a professional, and won the IBF's world Lightweight title by beating Charlie "Choo Choo" Brown in the 14th round on April 15, 1984. He successfully defended it twice before losing to Jimmy Paul. At the peak of Arroyo's career in 1985, his record was 26-0. He retired in 1993 and is highly regarded as one of Youngstown's most successful athletes.
