Row erupts in Italy over boxer with neo-Nazi tattoos

The Guardian says a boxing title match has sparked a row in Italy after it emerged that one of the contenders had several neo-Nazi tattoos.

The boxer, Michele Broili, 28, was defeated on Sunday night in Trieste for the super-featherweight title by Hassan Nourdine, 34, in a match that reignited the debate in Italy on the display of Nazi and fascist symbols.

Sports authorities are examining how it was possible that a boxer with tattoos including a flag with the inscription SS was allowed to be a member of the professional Italian Boxing Federation (FPI).
