Biography
Guido Vianello, who possesses a reach of 79 inches and stands at 6 feet 6 inches tall, was born on May 9, 1994, in Rome, Italy. Known by the moniker “The Gladiator,” Vianello commenced his boxing career within the amateur circuit, where he represented Italy in the men’s super-heavyweight division at the 2016 Summer Olympics. He initially trained with Gruppo Sportivo Forestale from 2013 until the organization's merger in 2016, after which he transitioned to Centro Sportivo Carabinieri.
Throughout his professional career, Vianello has demonstrated a combination of power and technical proficiency, achieving a significant proportion of his victories by knockout. His fighting style is defined by an orthodox stance and the capability to deliver substantial punches, establishing him as a formidable contender within the boxing arena.
In April 2024, Vianello competed against Efe Ajagba in a highly anticipated match in Corpus Christi, Texas. Despite an impressive showing, particularly in the first and tenth rounds, he ultimately lost the bout by split decision. However, he made a noteworthy comeback in August 2024 by defeating Arslanbek Makhmudov via doctor stoppage due to substantial swelling around his left eye, thereby reaffirming his reputation as a resilient and skilled competitor in the heavyweight division.
