Undefeated Heavyweight Contender Gustavo “The Cuban Assassin” Trujillo Returns May 2 in Miami

Known as “The Cuban Assassin,” Trujillo, the reigning BKB Heavyweight Champion in bare-knuckle boxing, holds an undefeated 8-0 record with all eight wins coming by first-round knockout. Renowned for his devastating power and elite amateur background, he continues to build a rapidly growing fanbase. Now based in Miami by way of Cuba, he returns to familiar territory with momentum and clear purpose.

As he prepares to face a seasoned opponent in Ramirez Marin, Trujillo recognizes the experience across the ring but remains firmly focused on his mission. “Sergio Marin is a tough, experienced fighter who has been in the ring with a lot of different styles,” Trujillo said. “I respect that, because those are the kinds of fighters that test you. But I’ve prepared to rise to that challenge. This is my time to show that I can handle any fighter they put in front of me and impose my will. Every fight is a step forward, and I’m ready to take that step in a strong way.”

Trujillo is determined to give fans a performance that reflects both his power and his evolution as a complete heavyweight. “When I step into the ring, fans can expect intensity, devastating power, and a fighter who is coming to finish the job,” Trujillo added. “I don’t take rounds off, and I don’t come to just win, I come to end the fight early. But at the same time, I’ve grown as a fighter. I’m more patient, more calculated, and I understand when to apply pressure. It’s about putting everything together and delivering something memorable.”

Fighting in Miami, Trujillo draws deep motivation from the strong Cuban community that has supported his journey. “To fight at home in front of my people means everything,” Trujillo stated. “The Cuban fans bring energy, passion, and pride, and it motivates me to perform at a high level. It’s not just about me…it’s about representing where I come from and honoring that support. When I hear them, when I feel that energy, it pushes me to give even more.”

With a world ranking already in place, Trujillo views this fight as another important step toward championship contention. “A win in this fight keeps me moving forward toward my ultimate goal, becoming a world champion,” Trujillo concluded. “Every performance matters, and I want to show that I belong among the best heavyweights in the world. I’m building something special, and this is another opportunity to prove that I’m ready for bigger challenges.”

Abe Swidan of Visionary Sports Group, who manages Trujillo, believes he is on a fast track toward the top of the division. “Gustavo Trujillo is one of the most exciting heavyweight prospects in boxing today,” Swidan said. “He possesses the skill set, background, and determination required to excel in this sport. We have taken the right approach in overseeing his development, ensuring that each fight equips him for high-level competition. This bout is a key milestone, and we expect fans will see why he’s the #1 heavyweight contender to watch.
