Professional career
He turned professional in 1986 and won 28 consecutive fights before unsuccessfully challenging Humberto González for the WBC light flyweight title. Tejedor would work his way back to another title shot and on February 18, 1995 he beat José Luis Zepeda for the vacant IBF world title by way of 7th-round TKO. He would go on to lose the belt in his first title defense to Danny Romero in April of the same year. He lost his final 10 fights and retired from the sport in 2004.
