In December 2006, Barthelemy together with fellow Athens Olympic champions Yuriorkis Gamboa Toledano and Odlanier Solís left training camp in Venezuela for Colombia and defected to the United States. They signed a contract with a Hamburg-based promoter and turned professional.[1]

He was part of the Cuban team that won the 2006 Boxing World Cup.[2]

Pro

Bartelemí made his pro debut on April 27, 2007 by winning a UD against Ravil Mukhamadiarov and knocked him down in the 4th round. Bartelemí was 6-0 before being shockingly upset by unheralded Ernie Marquez, suffering his 1st loss. Bartelemí then went to win the vacant WBC Latino Bantamweight title in his next match.[3] He most recently was upset by Jorge Diaz after taking the fight on short notice, losing by TKO, a major career setback.
