Ítalo Perea Castillo (alternatively spelled Ytalo; born June 10, 1993) is an Ecuadorian professional boxer. He sensationally won the 2011 Pan American Games Super Heavyweight title at the age of 18. He is a lefthander but fights from an orthodox stance behind a tight guard.
In 2009, he controversially lost the 81 kg final of the World Junior (f. Cadet) Championships in Armenia to Uzbek Kharzanov.
In 2010, he won the 81 kg PanAm Junior title.
In 2011, he moved up two classes to Super Heavy where he benefitted from the absence of Cuban top favorite Erislandy Savón and won the senior PanAm title by KOing Gerardo Bisbal and outpointing Juan Hiracheta.PanAm results
In 2012, he knocked out Simon Kean and defeated Dominic Breazeale to qualify for the Olympics. In London he ran right into defending champion Roberto Cammarelle and lost 10:18.
