Frank Sebastian Giorgi (born 22 September 1981) is an Australian-Italian Muay Thai kickboxer who competes in the middleweight division. Known for his boxing skills, Giorgi made a name for himself domestically by becoming a two-time Australian champion before emerging internationally in 2011 when he won his first world title and reached the final of the Thai Fight 70 kg/154 lb Tournament in Thailand.

An Italian Australian and a stonemason by trade, Giorgi was born to Italian parents (San Luca) in Adelaide, South Australia in 1981 and raised on the Gold Coast, Queensland. He was first introduced to combat sports at the age of twelve when his uncle Frank Mesiti took him to a boxing gym in Southport, Queensland.

there he met his partner of 15 years Amy Cameron who was a Muay Thai fighter at the time. Admittedly, he was never dedicated to boxing and, although he had a small number of amateur boxing matches, he eventually switched to Muay Thai and began fighting after six months' of training.

Giorgi turned professional after eleven amateur fights and lost to Ben NTG in his debut. After initially starting out training under Richard Walsh at Five Rings Dojo, where he was a training partner of Australian great Nathan Corbett, he later became a student of Arslan Magomedov at Scorpion Gym following a period of upheaval. He established himself domestically by capturing both the WKN and the WMC national titles and taking wins over the likes of Eli Madigan, Bruce Macfie and Madsua. Giorgi made the pilgrimage to Thailand for the first time in 2005 and would later win the Shell Tournament at Omnoi Stadium in Bangkok.
