The former Italian lightweight champion, Luca Marasco he was injured in an ambush that occurred in Calolziocorte in the province of Lecco: a person who had called him out of the house shot him a few times. The conditions of the 40-year-old former boxer were defined as under control despite his emergency hospitalization. The facts: Marasco was at home with his mother when he heard the doorbell ring. On the intercom, someone he knew asked him to come out. Then the gunshots and the attacker’s escape, apparently towards Bergamo. His identity would be known to investigators and his arrest could be imminent.

Marasco is a fairly well-known name in the boxing world. Professional from 2007 to 2016, he had a very positive first part of his career which led him to win the Italian title and to defend it even against names of a certain prestige such as the Romans Simone Califano and Pasquale Di Silvio. It was with another Lazio boxer, Emiliano Marsili, who dethroned him by inflicting a defeat on Kot, that Marasco began the downward trajectory of his career.
