Marrero trains for his upcoming fight against Argentinean Jesus Andres Cuellar, taking place on August 23rd for the WBA interim-world title. The boxer is working with head coach German Caicedo, supervisor Micky Ward and assistant Claudio Lamothe.

"Marrero is a disciplined athlete and performed his routines, focused on his goal. He is a great athlete and show dedication in the gym," Ward said.

"The first time I saw Claudio Marrero, he really impressed me and now I’m happy becausewe assured him that he will be a world champion someday. That dream is very close, and I think on August 23rd we will see the rise of a big star," said Henry Rivalta, COO of Iron Mike Productions.
