Arias and Robinho arrive in Manchester
Record Manchester City signing Robinho won't be the only Brazilian hitman in Manchester.
Audley Harrison's opponent George Arias from Sao Paulo has warned the 2000 Olympic Champion that he will end his comeback trail. Brazilian heavyeight champion Arias will follow his fellow countryman to the north west this weekend when he fights Harrison at the M.E.N Arena, Manchester. It comes in the wake of Robinho's suprise £32.5m signing for Manchester City.
And Arias has vowed to provide another shock by knocking out Harrison -and ending his world title ambitions. "Brazilians are the best at football - and I'm going to show we are good at boxing as well," said 34-year-old Arias. "Harrison knows that if he loses this fight then he has nowhere left to go, and that makes him a very dangerous opponent. "I've prepared for a war but to be honest I expect to win the fight easily inside the distance."Harrison likes to talk a good fight, but he's all hot air. "It will be carnival time in Manchester on Saturday when I knock him out and shut him up once and for all." Harrison-Arias meet in a 10-rounder on the M.E.N show, which will be screened live on on Sky Box Office and will also feature Alex Arthur's WBO World Super-Featherweight world title defence against Nicky Cook, as well as Amir Khan against undefeated Breidis Prescott.
