Matchroom announces next Italian card

Matchroom and OPI Since 82 return to the Allianz Cloud in Milan on Friday April 16th with a show featuring cruiserweight Fabio Turchi vs. Dylan Bregeon and lightweight Francesco Patera vs. Devis Boschiero, live on DAZN. Florence’s Turchi (18-1, 13 KOs) bounced back from his first career loss to Tommy McCarthy by defeating Nikolajs Grisunins last October, and now the "Stone Crusher" faces France's Bregeon (11-0-1, 3 KOs).
 
In the twoother featured bouts, former European champion Patera (23-3, 8 KOs) looks to extend his five-fight winning streak against Italy’s Boschiero (48-6-2, 22 KOs) and there will be a battle of unbeaten super middleweights vying for the Italian title, namely Ivan Zucco (12-0, 10 KOs) and Luca Capuano (11-0, 2 KOs).
 
Matchroom Sport Managing Director Eddie Hearn said: “On a huge week for the cruiserweight division that sees Lawrence Okolie take on Krzysztof Glowacki for the WBO title, I’m delighted to announce Fabio Turchi’s return to the ring as he looks to climb the rankings towards a title shot of his own. We know just how good Francesco Patera is from his win over Lewis Ritson in Newcastle, and I’m confident his clash with Boschiero won’t disappoint. We look forward to another great night in Milan, with all of the action shown around the world on DAZN.”
 
Christian Cherchi of OPI Since 82 said: “Another important test is waiting Fabio Turchi in his challenge against Dylan Bregeon. Franceso Patera will finally meet Devis Boschiero andd there’s an interesting Italian title battle between undefeated Ivan Zucco and Luca Capuano. A stacked undercard features Samuel Nmomah, Mauro Forte, Armando Casamonica and Mohammed Obbadi. Don’t miss it, live and on demand on DAZN!”
