Professional career
Cañizales turned professional in 2014 and won 16 consecutive fights before challenging Ryoichi Taguchi for the WBA light flyweight title, the fight would end in a draw. He would get another title opportunity against Reiya Konish this time for the regular version of the WBA title.
His first title defence would be against Lu Bin on 15 July 2018 on the Pacquiao-Matthysse undercard in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Cañizales managed to drop Bin twice, once in the eleventh round and again in the twelfth, en route to a twelve-round technical knockout (TKO) victory.[2]
For his second title defence, Cañizales faced former champion Sho Kimura. Cañizales managed to survive an aggressive start from Kimura, outworking the Japanese for most of the remainder of the fight, en route to a twelve-round unanimous decision (UD) victory.[3]
