Pero ultimately did leave Cuba and resumed in the sport. His first five fights in the paid ranks were in Germany, Argentina and Colombia. He has competed in the United States ever since, almost exclusively in Florida. There was one match in Texas – the only card that Pero shared with his younger brother, Dainier, 13-0 (10 KOs), who made it to the quarterfinals of the Olympics in 2021 before losing to Richard Torrez Jnr.
