On December 17, 2010, Medina faced undefeated Gilberto Ramírez for the vacant WBC Youth middleweight title.
Medina suffered a series of losses against the likes of José Uzcátegui and Badou Jack over the next few years, but a knockout win over highly touted prospect J'Leon Love in August 2014 vaunted him into world title contention.
[5] After José Uzcátegui was sidelined due to illness, Medina became the mandatory challenger to IBF champion James DeGale.
On round 8, Benavidez landed an incredible flurry of punches to Medina's face that ended the fight in dramatic fashion.
