company, today announced that it has partnered with undefeated
professional boxer and current WBA Super Welterweight Champion of

"We are excited and honored to welcome such an elite boxer to
Team USANA," said USANA Chief Communication Officer Dan Macuga. "We
rigorously test our supplements to make sure that the products we
offer are of the highest and purest grade possible. To have
top-tier athletes like Trout trust their health and careers to
USANA affirms our position as an industry leader."
Raised in Las Cruces, New
Mexico, the southpaw champion first stepped into the ring at
the age of 10 and has never looked back. In 2004, he was named an
alternative at the Athens Summer Games. He made his professional
debut a year later with a KO in the third round against
Justo Almazan. Trout has since held
multiple titles, including WBC Continental Americas Light
Middleweight champion, the WBA Fedelatin Light Middleweight title
and WBA Light Middleweight title.
"Defending the light middleweight title, I need to be able to
train and perform with everything I have, and with that I need to
be able to recover quickly and give my body the nutrition it
needs," Trout said. "USANA's supplements are high-quality and
trustworthy products that I know I can trust to help me stay
undefeated."
Trout will step back in to the ring April
20, at the Alamodome in San
Antonio as the main event of a Showtime card to face the
undefeated (41-0-1, 30 KOs) and current WBC Jr. Middleweight
Champion Canelo Alvarez in a
unification fight.
Trout joins more than 600 elite athletes who trust their health
to USANA and its NSF and HFL-tested products, including fellow
undefeated American boxers, current WBO Welterweight Champion,
Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley Jr. and light heavyweight contender
Mike Lee.
