Life has not been kind to Giacobbe Fragomeni. He spent his childhood in the bleak outskirts of Milan, in a cruel environment. An alcoholic father who used to beat his wife and the kids.

But Giacobbe was not just anyone; alone he started his own fight against addiction, beginning to box “in order to lose weight”.
