He was born in Guantanamo, Cuba, in 1983.

He made his debut in professional boxing in 2008 and two years later, with a record of 14-0 he won the middleweight WBA FEDELATIN championship. In June 2013, he won the interim super welterweight belt when he defeated by TKO the Mexican Alfredo “El Perro” Angulo. He defended his championship against former champion Austin Trout last December.

He was promoted to regular champion this year, and he will defend his 154 lbs. belt for the first time against Isha Smith, on May 2 in Las Vegas.
