Majestic Magnesi scenting victory on the WBC Silver belt defence trail 

 Michael “Lone Wolf” Magnesi is preparing for the first defense of the Silver WBC super featherweight world title, conquered last March 31th versus the Argentinian Ayrton Gimenez. 

The 28-year-old Italian boxer born in Palestrina, which is the metropolitan city of Rome has a legion of fans. He exudes the qualities of both Romulus and Remus. His record  is 22 victories and one defeat. He`s defending his laurels against Nike “La Promesa” Theran (18 w), a 26-year-old Colombian born in Barranquilla, but who has lives and trains in Santo Domingo. The pledged ring war will be on  October 27th in Rome. All roads lead to it!

“It will be a fundamental step and a chariot of fire for Michael”, Insists his promoter, wife and boss Alessandra Branco. “He is in 9th position in the WBC ranking. A win will mean he reaches the top 5 and… then the battle strategy for the Green and Gold belt, currently held by the American O’Shaquie Foster. But right here and now,  we need to concentrate only on the defense on October.

“Before we chose and settled upon Theran, we contacted at least eight other boxers present in the WBC ratings, but for various reasons nobody agreed to fight Michael. We then spotted the Colombian, a solid, undefeated and also heavy-punching athlete who loves to switch at close range. 

“Considering Michael’s hitting skills, these are ideal characteristics to bring the match to our battlefield!”

Magnesi has already started training like a trojan, under the watchful eye of Maestro Gesumino Aglioti and of the multiple world champion Silvio Branco, who has been following his technical and athletic prowess for some time now. 

In the last weeks of August “A Roman holiday!”  The Italian boxer and his wife-promoter will march to  the city of Fondi, in the province of Latina, to enjoy a few days of R and R, with their friend and main sponsor Roberto Massarone, patron of the Le Cinéma Café group. Then…strict focus upon cohorts of business. “We will start with the final preparation, focused upon and utterly determined to conquer this paramount world dream.”

The spotlight and with it, the limelight beckons: “Finally we will see Michael on international television”, anticipates Alessandra Branco. “As soon as the final details gell,  we will communicate both the Roman location and the television that will highlight it.”

A great grandstand event and other boxers of the Magnesi Boxing Team, will provide ranks reinforcing the undercard.  Tickets will soon be available online on the platform boxol.it.

  The card is organized by A&B Events and the Magnesi Boxing Team of promoter Alessandra Branco with the Italian Boxing Federation and the World Boxing Council.
