Heavyweight silver medallist at the Beijin Olympics, actor, and TV personality, Clemente Russo is  a friendly giant.

The 14 times Italian Heavyweight Boxing Champion is also a champion of style. In the French sports Magazine l’Equipe, Russo has been shot clad in very Italian looking outfits. Ranging from a silky robe to a three-piece pin stripe suit, which embodies the Italian tailoring tradition,  Russo shows off how he is loved by the camera.

Runner up in a reality show, inspiration and main character on a feature length movie and poster boy for the Milano Thunder Boxing Club sponsored by Dolce&Gabbana, what more can this boxer do?

In the interview, Russo states that his one aim is to train and win another medal at the London Olympics in 2012. Here at Swide we’ll all be rooting for him come summer!
