On September 7, 2019, he fought Pedro Taduran for the IBF mini-flyweight world title, losing by technical knockout in the 4th round despite knocking Taduran down in the 1st round.[3] He had to be carried out on a stretcher after the fight and required a hospital stay.[4] The fight was broadcast delayed on BoxNation.[5] The Taduran-Salva title fight was the first all-Filipino title fight in the Philippines in 94 years.[6]
