Paolo Roberto (born 3 February 1969) is a Swedish actor, television presenter, restauranteur and ex-boxer of partial Italian descent.

After fighting a six-round draw against Roy Dehara, he came back to the ring to be stopped in the second round against John Duckworth.

After his first loss, he won 15 straight fights before taking on the WBC light middleweight champion Javier Castillejo to whom he lost in the fifth round by referee stoppage.

Roberto dominated the fight and was winning when in the tenth round Martell's cut above his eye had gotten so bad the ring doctor decided he had had enough.

Wishing to approach the image of St. Michael the Archangel (the great "fighter" of the Heavenly Host), he was told he was not allowed in that roped off area.

Roberto recounted this episode of his life to Marcus Grodi on the "Journey Home" show of EWTN.

[9] In 2017, Roberto was criticized in the press for allegedly making sexist jokes on social media, one of which was in connection with Metoo.

[10] After criticism from, among others, Gudrun Schyman, Roberto defended himself with the fact that it was a joke and sexually-abusive acts are truly terrible.

In connection, he was dismissed from his program manager assignments on TV4 and dropped by the company representing his selling of Italian Food range Paolos.
