[5] Mindoro was announced to fight Puerto Rican former WBC FECARBOX titlist Marcos Osorio-Betancourt on November 9, 2024, at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida. [6] However, Osorio-Betancourt withdrew and Brazilian gatekeeper Lucas de Abreu stepped up as a replacement, [7] Mindoro knocked Lucas de Abreu out with a petrifying right hand punch in the third round. [8] [9]

On November 10, 2024, Mindoro was already scheduled to fight the reigning IBF Pan Pacific middleweight champion and veteran Australian boxer Joel Camilleri in an exhibition bout on December 6, 2024 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
