Gary Balletto is a boxer. He has once won minor lightweight titles. Outside the ring, in his hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, Balletto is the New England representative for the Joint Association

Balletto turned pro just 10 days before his 21st birthday, amassing a 30–3–2 record in a 10-year career of boxing. One of his three losses came to Michael Clark (a unanimous decision in 10 rounds at Foxwoods), who would later appear on the ESPN reality show \"Contender Season 2\" as a team-mate of Balletto, where they both were on the Gold Team.
