Professional career

Mendoza turned pro in 2014 and currently^[when?] trains with Cuban trainer Ismael Salas.

After compiling a record of 20–2, he knocked out former world titleholder Jeison Rosario on just 10 days notice.^[1] Mendoza followed up this upset victory with a stunning 7th round KO over previously undefeated Sebastian Fundora to win the World Boxing Council Interim Light Middleweight World Title.^[2][3] though his success was short-lived. In his next match he lost to WBO junior middleweight champ Tim Tszyu, being stripped of his own title in the process.

In 2024, he took a fight at short notice against Serhii Bohachuk 23-1(23) for the vacant WBC interim junior middleweight championship, which was his old title. He lost by a unanimous decision.
