'I had my way' - Visioli on sparring with US star Moton

Unbeaten British prospect Giorgio Visioli has said people would be "shocked" if footage of him sparring with US star Curmel Moton was "leaked".

The Aldershot boxer visited the United States in March and after the two were pictured sharing the ring, his promoter Eddie Hearn claimed he "smashed Moton to pieces" in the sessions.

Super-featherweight Visioli, 22, has had an impressive start to his professional career, winning seven times with six stoppages.

Moton - who is promoted by Floyd Mayweather - denied the claims coming from Hearn, but said he would be open to the two meeting.

"Those comments came out of Eddie's mouth, but it was great work between me and Curmel," Visioli told BBC Sport.

"The sparring was good though - it was my way all the time and he knows that for sure. When the footage gets leaked everyone will be shocked.

"If he wants to fight then we can fight - I'll fight anyone and if he wants to send the papers then send them."

Moton is also unbeaten in his start to life as a professional, with an identical record to Visioli with seven wins and six stoppages.

The 18-year-old is seen as one of the biggest prospects in world boxing, and most recently stopped Frank Zaldivar in the third round of their fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Visioli made the trip to Vegas to spar with Moton and a mix of amateurs and pros with his coach Mark Tibbs and gym-mate Johnny Fisher.

During that visit he also sparred with Rolando Romero, who recently beat Ryan Garcia in New York.

"It was definitely good work," Moton told Pro Boxing Fans, external.

"Eddie Hearn's been talking online but he's doing his job being a promoter and trying to get his guy's name out there more.

"His guy shared the ring with me and he's seen his opportunity. Everyone is talking about him right now and they're claiming he whooped on me.

"They can say what they want to say but we both know how the sparring went, and if Eddie saw the footage then he should be confident to set that fight up between us - I'm ready whenever they want to do it."

After an amateur career in which he never knocked anyone out, Visioli wins by stoppage have become a regular occurrence in his time as a pro.

In his last contest he took on 19-12 Kane Baker who by many was considered to be a step up.

But Visioli showed his class and impressively dominated Baker before the referee jumped in to stop the contest in the fourth round.

One particular clip on social media, external from that fight showed him landing five consecutive right hooks to Baker's body before cracking a huge sixth blow against the side of his head.

"On paper it was a step up," Visioli said. "In reality I just boxed his head off and beat him up bad. He wasn't ready for my footwork and speed - I thought he'd give me more of a test.

"It was a great performance and a win that helps me to get my name out there more. No-one has ever really done what I did to Kane - all respect to him but it was really satisfying for me.

"I'm no boring fighter - I can bang and I have the speed. I have the full package and people now know what I bring to the table."

Visioli is next in action on 21 June when he fights on the undercard of Shabaz Masoud's bout against Peter McGrail with the pair in the main event competing for the IBO super-bantamweight title.

And his promoter Hearn has big ambitions for what he could achieve.

"Giorgio is an incredible talent," he told BBC Sport.

"We've upset them over there - he gave Moton a good bashing in sparring and they didn't seem to like it.

"I'm looking forward to seeing him progress. I believe he is a world champion in waiting."
