Professional career

In July 2020 Ragan revealed he was turning over to the professional ranks, with James Prince as his manager, and was initially set to make his debut on August 8.[3] In August, it was announced he had signed a multi-year promotional contract with Bob Arum's Top Rank,[4] with his rescheduled debut set for August 22 against Luis Alvarado on the undercard of Eleider Alvarez vs. Joe Smith Jr. at the MGM Grand Conference Center in Paradise, Nevada.[5] Ragan knocked Alvarado down with a right hand in the first round. He made it back to his feet before referee Jay Nady's count of ten. Disorientated, Alavarado turned his back on Nady which prompted him to call a halt to the contest, handing Ragan a first-round technical knockout (TKO) victory.[6]
