Alex Pereira’s Pro Boxing Debut: Record and Result
Alex Pereira’s professional boxing record is 1–0. He made his lone recorded pro appearance on June 17, 2017, stopping Marcelo de Souza Cruz in the third round of a scheduled four-round bout at Hotel Golden Park in Sorocaba, São Paulo, Brazil. The result is a small but distinct chapter in the Brazilian striker’s career across combat sports.
Pereira’s professional boxing debut
Pereira, nicknamed “Poatan,” faced fellow debutant Marcelo de Souza Cruz in a four-round contest. BoxRec records Pereira winning by technical knockout at 0:58 of round three. That result gave him one professional boxing victory, with no recorded pro losses or draws.
One fight, one result
The bout was a brief professional boxing entry rather than the beginning of a sustained run in the sport. Pereira’s record shows a single contest, so it offers a limited sample of his abilities under boxing rules. His broader reputation has been built through years of kickboxing and mixed martial arts competition.
A cross-sport striking career
Pereira is known to many fans for his striking, but the one pro boxing win should be kept in perspective: most of his major achievements came in kickboxing and mixed martial arts. The boxing result adds context to his early professional record and shows that he competed in a boxing ring before becoming a global mixed martial arts champion.
Has Pereira returned to boxing?
BoxRec lists no second professional boxing bout for Pereira. His documented pro boxing record is 1–0, with the win over Cruz as its only entry. Any future move into boxing would be a new chapter rather than a continuation of an established pro record.
