In various issues of Idaho State Journal Smut Warren was also reported to have had following professional victories :

Professional debut in February 1952 with a 4-round kayo over Ted Pardino(?) in Phoenix, AZ
KO2 over Les Williams in Salt Lake City in late-1952 (pro fight # 3)
TKO1 over Jack Albertson in Butte, MT (pro fight # 5). This is apparently a confusion of opponent's name and refers to a documented victory over Buzz Stanton.
1953-3-7 : 5th-round kayo over previous victim Claude Roberts in Seattle, WA. Warren was claimed of having been floored thrice himself in the fight. (pro fight # 7)
1953-4-3 : Highly suspicious claim of 6th-round kayo win over Gerald Dreyer somewhere in Canada. (pro fight # 9 and last before entering Army).
1953-9-14 : 3rd-round kayo ovar Harold (Harry) Jenkins in San Francisco, CA. This one as an Army boxer.

Total of at least 27 professional contests in South Korea & Japan (during Warren's Army service in Korea) with 24 victories. Two of these fights have been sufficiently documented. The rest of those fights would have included winning a Korean title with a 3rd-round kayo over Chum-Buk Soo, another 7th-round kayo over Soo, defending Korean title with an 8th-round win against Joo-Long Song (coming off the floor) and 1st-round kayoes over Kim Chall & Cho Ek-Song.

He was also reported having fought a bloody 10-round non-title draw with a reigning Oriental champion Hachiro Tatsumi on January 20, 1955 in Osaka, Japan. Warren's purse was to be donated to the widow of recently deceased Ed Sanders.

Then a recently discharged Devon "Smut" Warren would have resumed his US professional boxing career on Monday 6th of June, 1955 in San Jose, California with a 6-round decision over Dick Wolfe from Oregon.

These reputed fights will all require further documentation.
