Boxing career

In 2009, Villanueva won the WBO Oriental featherweight title by stopping previously unbeaten Eric Canoy in the 10th round.
His first fight in the United States was supposed to be on November 12, 2011, on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez III undercard against an undecided opponent, but visa issues prevented Villanueva from participating in the event.[2]
On May 5, 2012, he suffered his first defeat, after being knocked-out in round 2 by Indonesian's Daud Yordan held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore for the vacant International Boxing Organization Featherweight title.
