A battle fit for the colosseum. This Friday will see Daniele Scardina defend his WBO Intercontinental Super-Middleweight title against Giovanni De Carolis to determine who is the countries number one 168lb fighter.
The 29-year-old recorded a pair of stoppage wins in 2021 in Milan as he returned to the ring from a 14 month absence, and picked up the title he defends in the second of those wins, dispatching Juergen Doberstein inside four rounds in October.
De Carolis, a former WBA World champion, can reignite his title ambitions with a victory over Scardina. The 37-year-old battled Lerone Richards for the European title in May 2021 in London and after being outpointed by the Briton, he returned to winning ways over six rounds in Rome last October.
