Professional career
After turning professional in 1979 he had compiled a record of 23-2-1 in 4 years before travelling to Los Angeles in 1983 to challenge Jaime Garza for the vacant WBC super bantamweight title. He was stopped by Garza in the second round and missed out on the opportunity to become champion.[1] He rebounded by beating Suh Sung-in for the newly created IBF's inaugural super bantamweight championship. He would lose the title in his first defense in a rematch to Suh four months later. He had his final title shot against Kim Ji-Won but was unsuccessful, and he retired from the sport in 1988.
