Friday, December 5, 2025 the Teatro Principe in Milan will switch its lights back on for an evening that marks the revival of professional boxing in the Lombard capital. After six years without boxing in the historic venue, the event organized by OPI Since ’82, in collaboration with the Fight Club Fragomeni, promises spectacle, tradition and a strong international opening.
The Main Event: Aouina vs Hill for the WBC Silver Interim title
At the center of the evening stands the fight between Akrem Aouina and Tom “One Bomb” Hill, contested for the WBC World Silver (interim) belt in the welterweight division. This is not a symbolic or secondary title, but a recognition able to decisively relaunch the winner in the WBC world rankings.
Akrem Aouina is now a well-established reality in Italian boxing. Born in Tunisia but developed as an athlete in Italy, he is trained by Giacobbe Fragomeni and over time has built a record made of solidity, continuity and steady progress. For Aouina, this fight represents the first major step of the new venture with the Cherchi family and a potential gateway to more important goals. His boxing — based on rhythm, pressure and tactical intelligence — finds in this match a crucial proving ground.
Opposite him will be Tom Hill, an experienced and determined English fighter. His direct, solid and physical style could test Aouina’s endurance and competitive maturity. Hill is not a stopgap opponent but a real test: facing him for a WBC Silver title means accepting a calculated risk, which is precisely what makes the main event even more compelling.
The bout has been authorized by the WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán, a clear sign of the organization’s regard for the Milanese event. The meeting will be broadcast live on DAZN.
The Undercard: talent, prospects and balanced matchups
The supporting card offers a series of already confirmed and eagerly awaited fights:
- Lenzi vs Niang — a dynamic showdown between two young, rising fighters.
- Stana vs Bamba — a technical bout with potential to be spectacular.
- Montella vs Escobar — an important test for Montella against an internationally-profiled opponent.
- Mema vs Dimithra — a fight that promises intensity and a high pace.
- Tibiletti vs Jones — Tibiletti returns to the ring against a solid, physically demanding opponent.
- Al Mourchid vs Al-Warith — a highly anticipated comeback for Al Mourchid, who will face a tough international athlete.
The undercard perfectly reflects OPI’s philosophy: to promote Italian talent while matching them with boxers from other countries to build competitive bouts ideal for athlete development.
