Guido Vianello

Bio

Right then, Guido Vianello is a big, awkward, durable heavyweight from Rome who stands 6ft 6in and has spent his career being underestimated. He represented Italy at the 2016 Olympics in the super heavyweight division, and he has carried that amateur pedigree into a professional career that has been anything but a procession.

He has been in with proper opposition. Vianello lost a split decision to Efe Ajagba in April 2024 and a unanimous decision to Richard Torrez in April 2025, but he bounced back in October 2025 with a fifth-round knockout of Alexis Barriere to win the vacant WBC Continental Americas title. That is the profile of a man who gives everyone a fight.

In August 2026 he made his Queensberry debut at The O2 in London and drew with Moses Jolly on the scorecards, 76-76, on the undercard of Itauma vs Hrgovic. Make no mistake, that result put him on the radar, and it is why his name is now being linked with a fight against stablemate Moses Itauma in early 2027. If you know boxing, you know that Vianello is exactly the type of opponent who can show whether a young heavyweight has more than early speed.
