Silvio Branco (born 26 August 1966) is an Italian former professional boxer.

Career

[edit]

Branco outpointed Glen Johnson and upset Robin Reid in England. He got a super middleweight IBF title fight but lost a lopsided decision against Sven Ottke.[1]

He defeated Puerto Rican puncher Manny Siaca on Thursday 27 July 2006 to win the WBA interim light-heavyweight championship. When Tiozzo laid down his title on 19 October 2006, Silvio Branco became again the full WBA world champion. He lost this title on 28 April 2007 once more against the Croatian boxer Stipe Drviš. Branco lost to WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal in Montreal on 25 September 2009.[2]
