There were no controversies, no late drama, and no real doubt from the opening bell. Giorgio Visioli retained his English Lightweight title with a performance of total technical control, outpointing Levi Giles over ten rounds at the Copper Box Arena to deliver scorecards of 100-89, 99-90, and 99-90. The 22-year-old Guildford native is now 11-0, and the display underlined why he is regarded as one of the most complete young lightweights in British boxing.

The pre-fight preview identified Visioli’s southpaw footwork and sharp jab as his primary weapons — and that is exactly how the fight played out. From the opening round, Visioli used lateral movement to deny Giles a consistent target, circled away from the right hand, and countered with crisp combinations off his southpaw stance. Giles — moving up from super-featherweight and giving away 17 years in age — struggled to establish the sustained pressure he needed.
The middle rounds told the same story. Visioli varied his output, mixing the jab to the body with the left cross upstairs, and Giles’ attempts to work inside were met with clean counter-punching. By round seven, two of the three judges had Visioli ahead by seven rounds to nothing.
Rounds nine and ten saw Giles’ best spells — he finally began to find a rhythm and land some right hands — but the deficit was long past recoverable.
The scorecards are the defining statistical statement from Saturday night. Two judges scoring 99-90 means Visioli won nine rounds from ten. The third judge went 100-89 — a perfect shutout, every round to the champion.
This level of dominance against a 17-fight professional who had been competitive with English title-level opposition throughout his career is a significant result. Visioli is not just winning fights — he is making experienced opponents look limited. The Boxing Data records show he has now gone 11-0 with scorecards that reflect commanding margins at every level of opposition.
His December 2025 English title win over Joe Howarth was won but not dominant — the judges scored it 100-91, 98-92, 97-93. Saturday night was cleaner. A 100-89 from one judge reflects a masterclass in range control and technical boxing that the pre-fight data on Visioli’s kickboxing background and Repton Club pedigree predicted but had never quite been confirmed at this level — until now.
Visioli improves to 11-0 and successfully retains the English Lightweight title. At 22, the former GB World Kickboxing Champion is building the kind of professional record that warrants European and world ranking conversations. Giles falls to 17-3-1 — he gave everything he had, but the class gap proved too wide.
Giorgio Visioli delivered exactly what the odds and the data suggested: a controlled, technically superior performance that left no room for debate. The 100-89 scorecard captures Saturday night perfectly. The English Lightweight title stays in his hands, and the next challenge will need to be significantly stiffer.
