Joe Giannetti Abington Lightweight at American Kickboxing Academy
Joe Giannetti, 29, grew up in Abington, Massachusetts, and now represents American Kickboxing Academy out of San Jose, California. Standing 6'0" (183 cm), the fighter known as SKELETOR has built a 17-6-1 professional record over 24 bouts. A seasoned lightweight, Giannetti combines volume striking with a resilient chin—qualities that have made him a constant presence on regional fight cards throughout New England.
In the latest rankings Giannetti checks in at No. 20 across North America and holds spots inside the Top 20 in both the US Northeast and New England sub-regions. Those rankings reflect his activity—at least two fights in each area over his last six outings—and his commitment to the lightweight division, having competed at 155 lb (70 kg) in his two most recent matchups. With a balance of wins in local venues and against cross-regional opponents, he sits on the cusp of breaking deeper into the division’s upper tier.
