Gonzalez recently won a silver medal at a tournament in Paris and a bronze medal at the 19 and under amateur world championships in Cuba.
On June 12 of 2003, Gonzalez surprised many of his fans by announcing he will turn professional soon, under promoter Bob Arum. He cited amateur boxing politics as the reason why he decided not to wait for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games instead.
Gonzalez's birth name was Ernie, but he legally changed it to Jesus shortly before signing his professional contract.
