[2] He befriended a French Zouave whose name is unknown and trained him in this unique discipline. He moved to Mexico City and kept training until his debut.
His first match was in the Real Plaza de Toros de San Pablo against Henry Buckler, who was hired exclusively to be his opponent in his debut in the XIX. [3] Pérez de Prian won the bout and took the nickname of Alcides.
