Carlos Rogelio Licona (born March 3, 1995) is a Mexican-born American professional boxer who held the IBF mini flyweight title from 2018 to 2019.[1]
Licona turned professional on 5 December 2014 with a first-round knockout of Armando Diaz and amassed a 13–0 record during the next four years.[2] His undefeated streak earned him the fight to face fellow unbeaten contender Mark Anthony Barriga for the vacant IBF mini flyweight title.[3] The title bout was booked to face place on 1 December 2018, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, on the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury undercard.[4] Licona won the fight by split decision. Two judges scored the bout 115–113 in his favor, while the third judge awarded an identical scorecard to Barriga.[5] [6]
Licona made his first IBF mini-flyweight title defense against the once-defeated Deejay Kriel on 16 February 2019, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California.[7] He lost the fight by a late twelfth-round knockout. Licona was up 108–101 on two of the judges' scorecards at the time of the stoppage.[8] [9] Licona faced Nohel Arambulet for the vacant WBC FECARBOX flyweight title on 26 July 2019, in his first fight post-title loss.[10] He won the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 117–111, 117–111 and 116–112.[11]
