In his
home-town Bagheria, on the island of Sicily,
Giovanni D´Antoni (14-10-3, 1 KO) takes on
undefeated fellow countryman Joshua Riccardo
(5-0, 2 KOs) in the main event of a show
promoted by Giordano Boxing Club.
For
33-year-old D´Antoni, riding a three-fight
winning streak, it will be a chance to win his
first title, after taking on all comers in a pro
career that started in 2010. If victorious, he
finally elevates his career to the next level.
Joshua
Riccardo (25), from Ladispoli near Rome, is also
fighting for his first title, but he is at a
much different stage. While a highly praised
prospect, he is by far entering his biggest test
to date and doing so in his opponents back-yard.

Should
Riccardo be able to defeat the much more
experienced D´Antoni, and become UBO European
champion in only his sixth bout, it should
catapult his progress in the paid ranks.
Both men
are taking significant risk in facing each-other,
which makes it a very interesting encounter, and
the winner will be in a much better position.
