On Saturday, December 20th, 2025, the Pala Gianni Asti in Turin will host the Turin Boxing Show — an evening of professional boxing designed to bring one of Piedmont’s most iconic arenas back into the national spotlight. The event, promoted by BOXING EVENTS ASD in collaboration with Danger Promotion, promises a mix of talent, competition, and spectacle.
Top Italian and international boxers will take the ring: the main attractions of the evening include Alessio Lorusso and Francesco Grandelli, offering the audience two prestigious titles on the line in separate main events.
Main Events: Lorusso and Grandelli for International Titles
The first main event will feature Alessio “Mosquito” Lorusso (record 30-5-2) defending his IBO Intercontinental Super Bantamweight title against Mexican challenger Gerardo Valenzuela. This bout marks an important step for Lorusso, returning to the ring in a prestigious setting with an international title at stake.
At the same time, the other headline fight will see Francesco “Kekko” Grandelli (record 20-4-2), a Turin native, Italian champion, and former European Featherweight champion, defending the WBO Intercontinental Featherweight title — an opportunity to consolidate his position in the European and international boxing scene.
The card does not stop there: the event includes other notable bouts featuring emerging talents and established fighters, reflecting the organizers’ ambition to create a full-scale boxing gala with broad appeal.
Significance for Italian Boxing
The Turin Boxing Show represents a revival: bringing a high-level boxing night to the city, with international titles at stake and experienced fighters on the card, signals a concrete show of vitality for national boxing. After years in which many arenas prioritized other sports or events, the return of the ring to Pala Gianni Asti is a breath of fresh air for the local boxing scene.
For fans, it will be a chance to see top-level fighters live; for the boxers involved, an opportunity to climb the rankings, gain visibility, and potentially secure future high-profile fights. At the same time, the event serves as a springboard for young Italian prospects, allowing them to face seasoned athletes in a prestigious environment.
