Professional career

[edit]

Peró made his professional debut on 25 May 2019 against Maksym Pedyura. Peró knocked his opponent down twice en route to securing a first round, technical knockout victory.[4]

After amassing a 3–0 record throughout the rest of 2019, Pero faced Jorge Alejandro Arias for the vacant WBA Fedelatin heavyweight title on 11 December 2020.[5] He won the fight by a second-round knockout.[6] Pero made his first title defense against Dumar Carrascal on 26 June 2021.[7] He made quick work of his opponent, stopping Carrascal in just 111 seconds.[8]

Pero faced Geovany Bruzon on 1 January 2022, on the undercard of the Luis Ortiz and Charles Martin pay-per-view bout.[9] He won the fight by unanimous decision. Although Premier Boxing Champions head Al Haymon stated he would sign the winner of the bout, he announced that he had signed both fighters.[10] Pero next faced Hector Perez in the main event of a FITE TV broadcast card, which took place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Hollywood, Florida on 7 May 2022.[11] He retained the WBA Fedelatin title by a third-round technical knockout.[12] Pero faced the journeyman Joel Caudle in a stay-busy fight on 20 August 2022. He made quick work of his opponent, as he won by a first-round knockout.[13]

On Feb 12, 2023 he pulled an upset over a previously professionally unbeaten two-time Amateur World Champion Victor Vykhryst with continuous body shots that broke the latter by the 8th round. [14]
