Pro career

He fought against Julio César González in 2001, a fight in which González was down three times, and Letterlough down twice. González won by decision. Later that year, he got a shot at International Boxing Federation cruiserweight titleholder Vassiliy Jirov, but lost in the 8th round by TKO. He lost a decision later that year to David Telesco, and in 2003 was knocked out by Richard Hall. In 2004 he fought a draw against Daniel Judah, a fight in which Judah went down in round five and was docked a point for holding in round seven.
