Unbeaten super-featherweight prospect Visioli impressed in 2024 as he got his first taste of the professional boxing scene. <\/p>\n
Having never previously knocked anyone out in a very promising amateur career, he then went on to stop each of his first three professional opponents in impressive performances. <\/p>\n
Since then and following his recent victory his record is unbeaten with six wins and five knockouts. <\/p>\n
“I got my name out there in 2024, especially with getting the knockouts at the start of my career.” Visioli told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
“My social media blew up with about 1.5million views on one of my videos of those ko’s, it really helped to kick-start my career.<\/p>\n
“I go into each fight treating it like a world title fight, you have to do that and treat it like it’s important because all it takes is one punch and your career or momentum can be badly affected, it’s not what I would want a this stage.<\/p>\n
“I genuinely do live the life. I believe I can go a long way in the sport if I keep doing what I’m doing.”<\/p>\n
Last Friday, he defeated Mexican Francisco Javier Lucero, nearly dropping him in the second round before going on to claim victory in the 5th as his opponent’s corner threw in the towel to stop the bout. <\/p>\n
Visioli is trained by Londoner Mark Tibbs and has former flyweight world champion Sunny Edwards as part of his management team and often in his corner during fights. <\/p>\n
“Giorgio has looked very good for a long period of time now, a lot of people are starting to talk about him.” Hearn said. <\/p>\n
“I said to Sunny Edwards that I think he should step up to English title level very soon, I don’t see anyone around that level giving him any kind of problem.<\/p>\n
“Giorgio is miles above the level he’s fighting at the moment, let’s step him up and move him to 10-round fights soon, I’d like to see him in a position to win a British title by the end of 2025.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
