Euro News: Giovanni De Carolis retires; Daniel Dietz-Granit Shala set

The super middleweight Giovanni De Carolis has announced his retirement at the age of 40.

Italy’s De Carolis (33-11-1) turned professional in 2007. In 2015 he lost a close, controversial decision to Vincent Feigenbutz, then the WBA interim champion, but he beat him in a rematch and then drew with Tyron Zeuge to retain the title – before losing their rematch. De Carolis also lost to Lerrone Richards and Kevin Lele Sadjo in European title fights.
