Lenier Pero

From Cuba to the Professional Ranks

Lenier “El Justiciero” Pero brought Cuban amateur experience, Pan American competition and a Rio 2016 Olympic appearance into professional boxing in 2019. A mobile southpaw, he is the older brother of fellow professional Dainier Pero.

His early opponents included Geovany Bruzon and Joel Caudle. In February 2023, he earned a notable eighth-round stoppage of Viktor Faust in San Antonio, finishing the fight with an attack to the body.

The First Major Setback

Further wins over Guillermo Andino, Donnie Palmer and Detrailous Webster led to a ten-round decision over Jordan Thompson in Orlando in November 2025.

Jarrell Miller beat Pero over twelve rounds in Las Vegas on April 25, 2026, ending his unbeaten professional run. The defeat left him at 13–1 (8 KOs). No next fight has been confirmed.
