Farah has also fought for World Boxing Association, World Boxing Organization and International Boxing Federation regional titles without success.After a bout with Cesar Mamani, set for May 10, 2019,(a second round technical knockout win) Farah traveled to the Philippines, where he fought American Ronald Johnson, 15-1 with 6 knockout wins, on June 15, 2019, in what would have been a bout for the Global Boxing Organization's Heavyweight world title, a title without much recognition by the general boxing world and fans alike. The GBO ultimately withdrew recognition of the fight as being for their championship, but Farrah and Johnson still boxed each other, with the American knocking the Bolivian down in the first round and prevailing by 12 rounds unanimous decision. Eventually, Farrah got his 70th career win five weeks later, when he defeated 1 win, 2 losses Luis Gregorio Castedo Yapovenda by second round knockout on July 20 of that year, back home in Santa Ana del Yacuma, Bolivia.On November 2, 2019, Farah traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo to challenge Sadiki "The Buffalo" Maroy (15-2-1) for the vacant UBO Intercontinental Heavyweight title.

Then, on October 30th of 2020, Farah defended his title versus Marco Kenny aka La Mole Viscarra over 12 rounds live on Pay Per View (PPV) at the Santa Rosita Coliseum in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
