Cruz made his professional boxing debut back in 2015 against Luis Yan Revilla and won the fight via KO. After that, the fighter went on an impressive five-fight winning streak. Cruz suffered his first loss against Luis Miguel Montaño in 2016 in which he lost by unanimous decision. This loss was massive for Cruz and after that, he had a great run in which he was undefeated for 18 consecutive fights. During this period he defeated the likes of Raul Hinojosa, Ivan Basurto Monroy, Jose Felix, Francisco Vargas, etc.
That run gave Cruz his chance of a lifetime, the WBA lightweight title opportunity against Gervonta Davis in 2021. However, Pitbull failed to deliver and lost the fight via unanimous decision. Since then, Cruz has bounced back and is currently on a three-fight win streak.
