HEAVYWEIGHT CONTENDER GUSTAVO “THE CUBAN ASSASSIN” TRUJILLO RETURNS JUNE 28 IN MAIN EVENT OF “FIST OF FURY 11”

Undefeated Knockout Artist Looks to Continue Rise Up the Rankings Against Calvin Barnett

The event is presented by Kris Lawrence’s The Heavyweight Factory Promotions and will feature one of boxing’s fastest-rising heavyweight contenders as Trujillo continues his march toward world title contention.

Currently ranked #14 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), Trujillo enters the bout following an impressive first-round stoppage of veteran Sergio Ramirez Marin (22-9, 12 KOs) on May 30. The emphatic victory marked the tenth knockout of his professional career and further solidified his reputation as one of the division’s most dangerous punchers.

Rather than taking time off following his latest triumph, Trujillo, the current BKB Heavyweight Champion, and his team elected to remain active and continue building momentum. As he prepares for another quick turnaround, Trujillo spoke about the value of remaining active while continuing his climb through the heavyweight rankings.

“Right now, activity is extremely important for me,” said Trujillo. “Every time I step into the ring, I gain more experience and continue developing as a professional heavyweight. I feel great physically. I came out of my last fight healthy, and there was no reason to sit around waiting. The heavyweight division is very competitive, and I want to stay active, stay sharp, and continue proving that I belong among the top contenders. My goal is to keep building momentum and take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way.”

The Cuban-born heavyweight is expected to enjoy strong local support as he competes in South Florida, an area that has embraced him throughout his professional career. Trujillo believes fighting in front of a supportive crowd provides an extra layer of motivation heading into each contest.

“South Florida has become a second home for me, and the fans here have supported me from the beginning,” Trujillo said. “Every time I fight in this area, I can feel the energy and encouragement from the Cuban community and all the boxing fans who come out to support me. It means a lot because they understand the sacrifices that go into this sport. Their support motivates me to work harder and perform at my best. I’m looking forward to putting on another exciting show for everyone who comes out on June 28.”

With a world ranking already secured and momentum continuing to build, Trujillo understands the significance of every fight as he pursues bigger opportunities in the heavyweight division. The hard-hitting contender believes another impressive victory will move him one step closer to the elite level of the sport.

“Every win matters when you’re trying to reach the top of the heavyweight division,” said Trujillo. “I’ve worked my entire life to get into this position, and now it’s about continuing to climb the rankings and earning the opportunities I’ve been chasing. A strong performance on June 28 will keep me moving in the right direction and show the boxing world that I’m ready for bigger challenges. I respect every opponent that steps into the ring with me, but my focus is on becoming a world champion, and every fight is another step toward making that dream a reality.”

Trujillo’s manager, Abe Swidan of Visionary Sports Group, believes the undefeated heavyweight is positioning himself perfectly for a breakout run on the world stage.

“Gustavo’s career is exactly where we want it to be right now,” said Swidan. “He’s continuing to stay active, he’s gaining valuable rounds and experience, and most importantly, he’s making a statement every time he fights. Being ranked No. 14 by the WBO is a significant accomplishment, but we believe that’s only the beginning. Gustavo possesses rare athleticism, tremendous punching power, and an incredible work ethic. He’s still improving with every training camp, and we’re confident that if he continues on this trajectory, he’ll soon be knocking on the door of the top ten and eventually competing for a world championship. The future is very bright for him.”
