Guido Vianello vs David Adeleye in the works?!

Dan Rafael reports that Queensberry is working on adding Guido Vianello vs. David Adeleye to the undercard of Moses Itauma vs. Filip Hrgović.

There are new rumors about the undercard for the Filip Hrgović and Moses Itauma event. According to journalist Dan Rafael, Guido Vianello and David Adeleye are also set to face off that night.

The journalist maintains a notebook on X where he shares all kinds of information. There, he wrote:

“From my Friday notebook. Guido Vianello-David Adeleye in works for Itauma-Hrgovic card Aug. 29.”

The fight has not yet been officially announced or confirmed by Queensberry Promotions. According to Rafael, however, there are reportedly some talks underway regarding the fight.

And the matchup would certainly make sense, since Guido Vianello recently signed with Queensberry Promotions. On top of that, he’s coming off the biggest win of his career, having surprisingly defeated Richard Torrez Jr. by split decision in April.

For him, this meant he’s truly in the running for a top spot in the heavyweight division for the first time, and he’d certainly like to maintain that image.

David Adeleye, on the other hand, has only recently gotten back on the winning track. After his clear points loss to Filip Hrgović last August, he had a hard time fighting his way back. Although he’s just racked up two consecutive wins, he’d like to finally make a full comeback following his August defeat.

So for both boxers, this would be a major fight, and in general, the matchup itself would make sense. We’ll see if it’s actually confirmed in the end.

In my opinion, it would be a fight that would really benefit the main event. Given the state of the heavyweight division, it could give us a little taste of what’s in store for us afterward. Plus, it would be an important fight for both fighters, one that could play a decisive role in their futures. So I’m really looking forward to it!
