Aarón Herrera Cen (born September 11, 1990 in Valladolid, Yucatán, Mexico) is an undefeated Mexican professional boxer in the Light Welterweight division[1][2] and is the current WBC Mundo Hispano Lightweight Champion.[3][4]

Professional career

Aaron Herrera started boxing as an amateur in the city of Valladolid at the age of 12. His father first trained him before he decided to move to Mérida to train with Roman Acosta. He began his professional career in 2006.

On March 23, 2011[5]Aarón knocked out Lizandro de Los Santos to win the WBC Mundo Hispano Lightweight Championship.[6][7]

Herrera stayed undefeated until 21 July 2012 when he lost for the first time by decision before Fernando Garcia in Tijuana.

In 2013 Aaron "La Joya" Herrera began his international career fighting in Philippines against Jason Pagara and then in Germany against Turkish boxer Selcuk Aydin. He lost both fights, one by decision and the second one by KO.

After these defeats, Aaron Herrera's career changed radically when he decided to leave his trainer Roman Acosta for the Cuban Julio Tarrago. This change actually seemed to give him a second breath in boxing with a first victory by KO against Enrique "Huracan" Ramos in his native Valladolid in December 2013 and a second victory also by KO against the boxer Manuel Cubanito Mares, seen in the show Campeon Box Azteca.
