He secured three more wins in the first half of 2019; a UD against Joshuah Hernandez in January;[11] a second-round TKO over Mario Briones in April;[12] and a UD against Alberto Mercado in June.[13]
His first attempt at a professional title came on September 21, 2019, against two time world title challenger Miguel Beltrán Jr. at the Rabobank Theater in Bakersfield, California. Colbert won the bout via first-round KO to capture the vacant NABA-USA lightweight title.[14]
