Professional career

On 6 July 2019, Maestre made his professional debut against Jeovanis Barraza. Maestre won via technical knockout after knocking his opponent down twice in the second round which resulted in referee, Guillermo Perez Pineda, stepping in to stop the bout.[4]On 19 December 2019 Maestre fought in his second professional fight against Diego Gabriel Chaves of Argentina. Maestre dropped Chaves to the canvas during the opening round, after which Chaves proceeded to clinch Maestre in an attempt of prolonging the bout. Maestre took control of the fight in the fourth round and dropped his opponent multiple times, which forced the corner of Chaves to throw in the towel.[5]

Just shy of a year after his last bout, Maestre returned to the ring against Daniel Vega Cota. Maestro secured victory by knocking out his Mexican opponent in the opening minute of the first round after landing a heavy left uppercut.[6]
