Joe Giudice Fights Hard in Tijuana, Cheers from Daughter Gia

Tijuana, Mexico — Joe Giudice fought in the ring on September 29, 2025, against actor Antonio Sabato Jr. at a pay-per-view boxing event called the Battle of the Italian Stallions. Although Joe lost the match, he expressed deep gratitude for the support he received, particularly from his daughter Gia, who traveled to Mexico to cheer him on.

“Fought my heart out Saturday against Antonio,” Joe posted on his social media. “Win or lose, I left it all in the ring. What mattered most was having my daughter Gia there with me. It means the world to know she’s always got my back. Love you kid. Thanks to everyone who showed support, I’ll keep pushing no matter what.”

Gia shared a photo on Instagram, showing both her and Joe wearing matching black shirts that read “Juicy Joe.” The post quickly garnered over 3,000 likes and numerous comments, including one from Joe’s ex-wife, Teresa Giudice, who expressed her pride with heart emojis.

Gia explained her decision to attend the fight, stating, “I support him with everything that he does. It’s definitely nerve-wracking. He’s here by himself, so I wanted him to have at least one person here with him.”

Despite the defeat, Joe remains focused on his family. After nearly six years away from the U.S., he moved to the Bahamas to be closer to his daughters, including Gia and her siblings. He commented on the challenges of relocating, saying, “You grow up someplace, you get used to everything. Here, it feels Americanized. I don’t feel too far from home.”

As Joe returns to the Bahamas, he reflects on the love and support from his family as he continues to pursue his dreams.
