Sky Sports Italia have suspended their relationship with former West Ham and Celtic striker Paolo Di Canio after presenting a show with a "Dux" tattoo visible.

The tattoo is inked on his right bicep.

Di Canio has previously courted controversy for performing the fascist salute while playing for boyhood club Lazio.
