Mendez comes from a spectacular amateur background that shows in his refined ring style. He is a 2004 Olympian from the Dominican Republic and won a silver Medal at the 2004 Junior World Championships. Mendez compiled an outstanding record of 238-12 as an amateur.

Mendez is a technical, heavy handed boxer/puncher that is pleasing to watch in the ring. “He is an intelligent fighter,” said Mendez’s manager Jose Nunez. “Argenis is a superior and accurate counterpuncher. I love his style.”

Mendez, already establishing and proving himself as an excellent pro, has been in the ring with the likes of Luis Sosa, Jose Navarrete, Jaime Sandoval and Arturo Gomez.

“I try to take a lesson from each and every fight,” said Mendez. “I keep learning and improving.”

Mendez , a workaholic, says nothing matters to him more that his family, boxing and his country. “I want to give hope to the Dominican Republic and my family,” said Mendez. “That is why I fight, and I am proud to have Lou DiBella behind me.”
