Amateur career
Delgado was selected into the four-member boxing team that represented Mexico in the 1936 Summer Olympics, and he trained under former medalist Francisco Cabañas at the YMCA Gymnasium in Mexico City.[3] They left for Veracruz with the Olympic delegation on 29 June 1936, traveled to Hamburg by ship, and finally arrived by train to the German capital city.[3]
His participation in the Olympic games, however, was short-lived. On 10 August 1936, Delgado was eliminated in the first round of the lightweight class after losing his fight to Erik Ågren, the upcoming bronze medalist from Sweden.[1]
Professional career
He debuted professionally on 20 March 1937 at Arena Jalisco, in Guadalajara. In his first bout, Delgado drew after ten rounds with fellow Mexican Frankie Zavalza.[2] He won the next match against Isidro Muñoz in the same city, but ended up losing the next three bouts held in Mexico City; first against Carlos Miranda and Jorge Morelia at Arena México, and finally against Luis Argüelles at Arena Coliseo.[2]
