Professional career edit
Eto won the interim WBA flyweight title from Thai Kompayak Porpramook via a twelve round unanimous decision in the latter's first title defence in Bangkok on August 1, 2013.[1] "I can't believe it... I did it!' he exclaimed wearing the championship belt, "A dream can come true if you won't give it up!"[Video 1]
He would then lose the title to Yodmongkol Vor Saengthep on November 29, 2013 in his first title defense in Chonburi via twelfth-round knockout.[2] He had suffered a fracture of the orbital floor in the first round of this fight.[3]
On June 17, 2014, he scored a come-from-behind eighth-round knockout over Ardin Diale to seize the vacant OPBF flyweight title at the Korakuen Hall.[4][Video 2]
