Giovanni De Carolis


Giovanni De Carolis is an Italian professional boxer who held the WBA super-middleweight title in 2016.

Professional career

De Carolis made his professional debut on 17 November 2007, scoring a second-round stoppage over Marian Tomcany. On 14 June 2008, De Carolis fought outside of his native Italy for the first time, travelling to Ukraine and suffering his first defeat against then-reigning IBF Youth middleweight champion Max Bursak, who stopped him in eight rounds. De Carolis' first opportunity at a major regional championship came on 30 January 2010, for the vacant European Union super-middleweight title. He lost a twelve-round majority decision to Lolenga Mock.
On 17 October 2015, De Carolis inched closer to a major world title when he fought Vincent Feigenbutz for the WBA interim super-middleweight title. Feigenbutz won a close unanimous decision with judges' scores of 115–113, 115–113 and 114–113, but the result was seen by some observers as controversial. A rematch took place on 9 January 2016, with De Carolis avenging his defeat by winning the WBA super-middleweight title.
