try this code...

UIFont *yourFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-BoldOblique" 
                                   size:[UIFont systemFontSize]];
lblTitle.font = yourFont;

you can use also another fontName for BoldItalik like.

Optima-BoldItalic,TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT,Baskerville-BoldItalic,HelveticaNeue-BoldItalic,etc...

There are several font that contains Bod+Italic in themselves you can use those fonts... One frequently for an example is 

lblTitle.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial-BoldItalicMT" size:16.0f];

others are :

- TrebuchetMS-Bold

- Helvetica-BoldOblique
