Career

In 2019, he went up against Antonio Moran and won the WBA International Light Title, WBO Inter-Continental Light Title, and the WBA International Light Title.
He only had one fight in 2020 and that was against Yuriorkis Gamboa. That was for the WBC World Light Title. In 2021, he defended the WBC World Light Title against Jorge Linares. He would defend the title again in December 2021 against Joseph Diaz.
