Gutierrez, who was named the “Breakout Athlete of the Year” at the Vegas Music Awards, defeated Moris Rodriguez on April 4, at Sam’s Town Hotel and Casino, in his last fight.

Born in the Mexican town of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Gutierrez’s family emigrated to the US when he was still an infant. He discovered his passion for boxing after arriving in Las Vegas at age 14 and venturing into Johnny Tocco’s Boxing Gym, where he met his trainer, Danny Garcia.

Extremely popular in his adopted hometown, Gutierrez is also an outspoken advocate with Bully Busters 702, a local anti-bullying campaign.

“I’ve always been a confident fighter, but it wasn’t till the guys from the Mexican Olympic committee got a hold of me, that really convinced me that this boxing thing was for real,” Gutierrez recalls. “This sport had strangely found me, and there is no way I’m gonna let it go. I’ve always stood out in everything I’ve done, but boxing gives me this high, this feeling which I’ve never felt, nor can I replace.”

Gutierrez says boxing is his destiny, and he is constantly improving.  “I was born for this, and every day that passes, I get better. With the support of my family, friends, and my ambition, there is nothing that can stop me. I’m here to make my name remembered in this this sport. I can talk about it all day, but I’d rather show you.”

Jesus Gutierrez is promoted by Right Hook Promotions along with promotions by HustleGurl Entertainment.

Also scheduled to appear on the card in a special-attraction eight-round middleweight bout will be former WBA junior middleweight world champion and “The Contender” champion, WBA #10-rated Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (25-3-2, 8 KOs) taking on once-beaten Samuel Rogers (14-1, 8 KOs).
