He followed with knockout wins against Carlos Quintero in June and Luis Diaz Marmol in August, then defeated Santiago Ochoa a month later, before closing the year with a first-round knockout of Hernan Perez.[4]

On 7 June 2024, Utria won the WBA Fedecaribe super lightweight title, defeating Robinson Garcia by first-round knockout.[5] Two months later, he successfully defended his title, defeating Helber Rojas by second-round knockout.[6]

Semifinal

Utria stopped South African boxer Ntethelelo Nkosi by technical knockout in the first round after landing clean power shots that forced the referee to intervene.[13]
