He was part of the Cuban team that won the 2006 Boxing World Cup.[2]
Professional career
Barthelemy made his pro debut on April 27, 2007, by winning a UD against Ravil Mukhamadiarov and knocked him down in the 4th round. Bartelemí was 6-0 before being upset by unheralded Ernie Marquez, suffering his 1st loss. Bartelemí then went to win the vacant WBC Latino Bantamweight title in his next match.[3] He most recently was upset by Jorge Diaz after taking the fight on short notice, losing by TKO, a major career setback.[citation needed]
