His first fight for a world title he denied on September 10, 2005 against the Mexican Eric Ortiz , when it came to the WBC light flyweight title. In this fight Viloria managed the knockout victory in the first round. However, he was only able to defend this title once before losing on points to Omar Niño Romero in August 2006 . The subsequent rematch against Romero in November was not counted because his opponent Romero tested positive for amphetamines . Viloria then fought in April 2007 against the Mexican Édgar Sosa for the vacant title, but lost this fight extremely close on points.

On April 19, 2009 Viloria fought against the IBF world champion Ulises Solís . Viloria won this fight by a knockout in the eleventh round. However, he was only able to successfully defend this title once; on January 23, 2010 he was defeated by the Colombian Carlos Tamara in Manila by technical knockout in the twelfth round.
