Early years
Fernández was born on 18 September 1996 in Maracay, but grew up in Santa Cruz de Aragua.[2] He began boxing at the Estadio José Inés Martínez at the age of 13 to avoid falling into a street life of crime.[2]
Professional career
Fernández made his professional debut on 14 December 2013, defeating Dionis Martínez by first-round knockout at the Parque Naciones Unidas in Caracas.[2] He won his first nine bouts before managing a majority draw against Nohel Arambulet on 23 April 2016.[3] In his next fight five months later he competed outside of Venezuela for the first time, beating Israel Hidrogo by unanimous decision in Panama City.[4] It was the beginning of an 11-fight win streak between 2016 and 2019.[3] After accumulating a 20–0–1 record, Fernández earned a fight against fellow undefeated prospect Orlando Peñalba for the vacant WBO Latino super flyweight title. On 8 February 2020, he suffered the first defeat of his career after the judges awarded Peñalba a split decision victory in Panama City.[5]
On 19 June 2021, Fernández defeated Keyvin Lara via split decision to win the vacant WBA Fedelatin super flyweight title, with the judges' scorecards reading 86–85, 86–85 and 85–86.[2][6]
