Likewise, he returned in April to win by knockout in the first round against Anthony Urbano (1-11) and in the same month, he also defeated Melvin Arena (0-4) by knockout.
In June he achieved a new victory when he won by knockout against Jose Rivas (1-5-1) in the fifth round. However, in July he traveled to Argentina, where he lost by knockout in the second round against local Nahuel Gonzalo Garcia (16-1).
