Professional career

Asloum began his professional career in 2001 and went on a streak of 19 consecutive victories to earn a shot at WBA Flyweight Title holder Lorenzo Parra. Parra dominated the fight, dropping Asloum in the 2nd and taking a unanimous decision.[1]

On 10 March 2007 he got another opportunity at a world title when he faced Omar Narváez for the WBO flyweight title, he would also lose again via a unanimous decision.[2]

On 8 December 2007 he defeated Juan Carlos Reveco to become the WBA Light Flyweight Champion.

Asloum was inactive after the Reveco fight until his return to the ring 27 April 2009. In July 2008 the WBA changed his status from "World Champion" to "Champion in Recess." When he did return to the ring, Asloum knocked out Humberto Pool in the third round of a non-title flyweight bout. On 6 September 2009 Asloum announced his retirement from boxing. Asloum cited his dispute with cable channel Canal Plus as the cause for him to stop boxing, Canal Plus was the promoter of Asloum's fights.[3]
