Although born in Brooklyn New York, Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs) feels very connected to his parent’s native land of Puerto Rico. Berlanga began boxing at the age of seven. His childhood idol was Puerto Rican legend Felix “Tito” Trinidad, which inspired Berlanga to work hard and gather an impressive amateur record of 162 wins with 17 losses. Berlanga won bronze (2013) and gold (2015) in the US Youth National Championships. Berlanga turned pro in 2016, in Mexico and began his professional career with 16 consecutive first round knockouts.
