Cuban fighter Gustavo Trujillo once again showcased his devastating power in the bare-knuckle boxing ring, knocking out former WBA world champion Lucas Browne to retain his BKB heavyweight title.
This decisive win took place at the BKB 48: Night of Four Kings event, held on November 22 in South Florida.
Renowned journalist Eduardo Martell, also known as "El Vikingo," applauded the victory of the "Cuban Assassin" on social media, stating, "KO by Cuban Gustavo Trujillo in Bare Knuckle! (…) continues to be the world champion," in a Facebook post.
Trujillo's Swift Victory Over Browne
From the moment the fight began, Trujillo, who has previously challenged the legendary Yoel Romero, was determined to showcase his strength. He knocked Browne down twice, forcing the referee to stop the fight just 106 seconds after the opening bell. With this outcome, the Cuban fighter extended his remarkable undefeated record to 8-0, with all eight victories coming by first-round knockout.
Australian former champion Lucas Browne had successfully debuted in bare-knuckle boxing just two months prior, but he was completely overwhelmed by the Cuban's aggressiveness and precision. International outlets such as talkSPORT highlighted that Browne was "swept away" in the opening round and that Trujillo continues to establish himself as one of the most feared fighters in the circuit.
Comparisons to "The Mike Tyson of Bare-Knuckle"
Trujillo's absolute dominance has led some segments of the sports media to draw comparisons to Mike Tyson, due to his ability to end fights explosively and in a short amount of time.
Despite these comparisons, Trujillo insists that he doesn't actively seek out the knockout. "I go into my fights just trying to win. I don't know if it will end in the first round or not. This happens naturally; it's never planned. I just want to win by any means necessary," he explained to talkSPORT.com prior to the match.
Strengthening His Reign
The victory over Browne not only keeps Gustavo Trujillo as the BKB heavyweight champion but also solidifies his status as one of the most intimidating names in bare-knuckle boxing, a sport where power and endurance are everything.
His flawless record and ability to end fights in seconds position him as one of the most exciting—and dangerous—figures on the international circuit.
