Professional career[]

Leo made his professional debut on November 17, 2012, scoring a four-round majority decision (MD) victory over Jesus Xavier Pacheco (Per Ardua) at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with the two judges scoring the bout 40–36 and 39–37 in favour of Leo while the third scored it even at 38–38.^[3]

After compiling a record of 18–0 (8 KOs) he faced Cesar Juarez for the vacant WBO-NABO junior featherweight title on December 28, 2019, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Leo dropped his opponent to the canvas twice in round six before scoring a third knockdown in the eleventh. Juarez beat referee Jim Korb's count only for Korb to call off the contest in order to save Juarez from further punishment, awarding Leo the WBO regional title via eleventh-round technical knockout (TKO).^[4]

Leo faced Tramaine Williams for the vacant WBO junior featherweight title on August 1, 2020, at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, where he won by unanimous decision.^[5] Leo was originally set to face Stephen Fulton, however, Fulton was pulled out of the fight after he tested positive for COVID-19.^[6]
