Professional career

Colbert made his professional debut on May 29, 2015, scoring a second-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Marquis Pierce at the Barclays Center in New York City.[2] He had three more fights in 2015; a fourth-round TKO win over Benjamin Burgos in June[3] and unanimous decision (UD) victories over Jose Carmona[4] and Derrick Bivins[5] in September and December respectively.

He only fought once in 2016, scoring a UD win over Antonio Dubose in June.[6] Following two more UD victories in 2017 over Wilfredo Garriga in March[7] and Titus Williams in November,[8] Colbert defeated Austin Dulay via seventh-round corner retirement (RTD) in April 2018.[9] His second and final fight of that year was a UD win over Fatiou Fassinou in September.[10]

He secured three more wins in the first half of 2019; a UD against Joshuah Hernandez in January;[11] a second-round TKO over Mario Briones in April;[12] and a UD against Alberto Mercado in June.[13]

His first attempt at a professional title came on September 21, 2019, against two time world title challenger Miguel Beltrán Jr. at the Rabobank Theater in Bakersfield, California. Colbert won the bout via first-round KO to capture the vacant NABA-USA lightweight title.[14]
