Francesco Pio Mazzoccoli is a young Neapolitan boxer who found in boxing a path to social redemption. Raised in the challenging district of San Giovanni a Teduccio, he faced a reality marked by an absent father and an unemployed mother.

The turning point in his life came through meeting an educator and joining the AUSE Sporting Club in Torre Annunziata, led by Mario Veneruso and coach Alfredo. At the gym, Francesco learned discipline and core values that pushed him to resume his studies and dedicate himself passionately to boxing.

His determination led him to compete in his first Italian Championship in Marche, where he achieved the title of Italian vice-champion, losing only in the final.

This result represents a starting point for Francesco, who now looks to the future with ambition and hope, determined to leave the streets behind and build a successful career in boxing.

His story is an example of how sports can offer opportunities for redemption and personal transformation, highlighting the importance of structures like the AUSE Sporting Club in providing support and guidance to young people in difficult contexts.
