The first round saw King produce some of the best boxing of his career as he went after the Italian, who is ranked number two for his country, and a year older than him, with a real purpose.

The youngster backed his opponent to all corners of the ring and at times was unloading six and seven punch combinations which could have seen his opponent stopped in the first round.

The third round saw the Italian National finalist produce some of the boxing that had earned him that title.

However,it was too little too late and King finished on top in all three rounds.

He will now stay in Italy to prepare for his training day with England Boxing on Sunday.
