Emiliano Marsili, who was all set to defend the EBU lightweight title on April 25 in Helsinki against Edis Tatli, has relinquished the title citing a hand injury and pulled out of the fight.
Tatli (24-1) will now face Frenchman Yvan Mendy (30-3-1) for the vacant title. Mendy won the French title late 2013 and has since defended it four times and is rated # 10 by the EBU.
Making up the undercard in Helsinki are heavyweight Jarno Rosberg, light heavyweight Niklas Rasanen, cruiserweight Eemeli Katajisto and welterweight Juho Tolppola.
