Professional career

Tepora turned professional in 2012 and won 21 consecutive fights before challenging and beating Mexican boxer Edivaldo Ortega for the vacant WBA interim featherweight title.^[1] He was scheduled to defend the title against Mexican challenger Hugo Ruiz on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner fight, however he would fail to make weight which resulted in the WBA stripping him of the title. He would also be replaced by Alberto Guevara in the fight against Ruiz.^[2]
