On 14 June 1966, he lost to Walter McGowan, whom he had defeated previously.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Unable to make the weight any longer, Burruni moved up to the bantamweight division. He won the European Bantamweight title by taking a 15-round decision from champion Mimoun Ben Ali in 1968. His campaign to secure a World Bantamweight title ended when he was knocked out by Rubén Olivares in 1968.<ref name=boxrec/> Burruni's final fight took place in 1969, when he defeated Pierre Vetroff by KO.Template:Fact
