On 24 September 1993, he defeated Mauricio Stecca for the EBU European Feather Title at the Marseille's Palais de Sports in a ninth round technical knockout.[1]

He competed unsuccessfully for the IBF World Featherweight title against Tom "Boom Boom" Johnson, losing in a ninth round knockout, on 30 November 1993 at the Palais de Sports in Marseille.

He scored the knockdown 1 minute and 15 seconds into the ninth.[2]

He relinquished the EBU Featherweight title on 22 March 1994, losing to Stephano Zoff in Charleroi, Belgium in a ninth round technical knockout.[1]
