Unbeaten Visioli Headlines London Show

Lightweight Giorgio Visioli is set to compete for the vacant English title this Wednesday, aiming for a "massive performance" against Joe Howarth. The 22-year-old from Aldershot, who turned professional in late 2023, seeks his tenth consecutive win in this significant career milestone. This fight represents Visioli's debut as a headliner and his first opportunity to capture a major title.

Visioli has impressed in his nine professional bouts thus far, securing six victories by stoppage under the Matchroom Boxing banner. Backed by former world champion Sunny Edwards and Anto Fitzpatrick, he sees this 10-round contest at London's Indigo at the O2 as a pivotal moment.

Having previously fought in the United States, Visioli anticipates a familiar crowd and a new experience fighting on a Wednesday. He respects his opponent but is focused on "doing a job" and demonstrating his class, with aspirations for "big plans" next year following this crucial bout.
