In the Boxing Night organized by BBT Buccioni Boxing Team, with the patronage of the Federpugilato and the Municipality of Guidonia, the match was immediately of the highest level, with D’Ortenzi who made things clear from the start, becoming the protagonist of a practically perfect challenge. The 38-year-old Roman, advised from the corner by maestro Simone Autorino of the Roma Est Academy, demonstrated that he was always in control of the match, then pushing the referee – 48 seconds after the start of the eleventh round – to interrupt it, when according to the judges he was already in a clear advantage.

“I have shown that I can hold the ring against a top 20 – said D’Ortenzi to Rai microphones after the match -. I have always been one of the most underrated in Italy, but this is a warning for everyone: Luca D’Ortenzi is a tough nut to crack. I dedicate the belt to my city, to my family and to my master”. And Autorino thanked him like this: “Now we want the World Championship”.
