Before that, Colmenares' last fight outside of Venezuela dates back to late 2019, when he lost a split decision in Russia to local Igor Adleiba (14-2-3). However, he returned to winning ways in his only fight of 2020, where he won in his home nation against Lesty Coraspe (0-2) by knockout. Colmenares was then inactive for four years. He will try to come back in style, looking for his first win abroad, although he faces a tough opponent.
