Professional career

Lear turned professional in September 1999 at the York Hall, Bethnal Green, London, England. In his debut Lear defeated Bulgarian Demir Nanev with a fourth round knockout.

Victory over Michael Gomez

The unbeaten West Ham based fighter then fought Michael Gomez on 1 June 2002, at the MEN Arena on the undercard of the Ricky Hatton versus Eamonn Magee fight.

From the outset of the fight, Lear, a former Amateur Boxing Association of England champion, kept a predictable Gomez at bay with his sharp jab. Lear inflicted damage to Gomez whose nose began to bleed heavily in the sixth round. By the eighth round, Gomez was slowing suffering the effects of Lear's continuing barrage of combinations. At the end of the eight round Gomez's trainer Brian Hughes retired Gomez giving Lear a surprising victory.

Lear was forced to retire from the sport following his victory over Gomez, as a result of serious and long-standing shoulder injuries.
