Edis Tatli (born 13 August 1987) is a Finnish professional boxer and the current European lightweight champion.
Tatli is of Kosovar-Albanian descent[1][2] and was born in Prizren, Yugoslavia, in present-day Kosovo.[3] He moved to Finland at the age of four and was raised in Hämeenlinna. Having first trained in karate as a youth, at age fourteen he started boxing and won his first Finnish Amateur Championship title in 2004.[4]
Professional career
Tatli turned professional in 2007. In December 2012 he won the vacant EBU-EU lightweight title against Paolo Gassani and in March 2013 Tatli beat Felix Lora for the WBA Inter-Continental lightweight title. He successfully defended the title against Mzonke Fana in December 2013 and against Antonio De Vitis in May 2014.
In July 2014 it was announced that Tatli will challenge Richard Abril for the WBA lightweight world champion title on September 20 in Helsinki. Tatli is the second Finnish boxer fighting for the World Championship title. Olli Mäki lost a featherweight championship match to Davey Moore in August 1962 at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. The fight between Abril and Tatli is promoted by Olli's son Pekka Mäki of P3 Boxing Oy.[5] He lost the fight by majority decision
He was supposed to fight the EBU lightweight champion Emiliano Marsili on 25 April. Emiliano Marsili got injured and vacated the belt. Tatli fought Yvan Mendy instead for the EBU lightweight title, and won the fight by unanimous decision.
Edis Tatli was scheduled to face two time lightweight challenger Kevin Mitchell on 18 March 2016 in Finland, but on 10 February, Mitchell announced his retirement and withdrawal from the fight. Tatli instead faced Massimiliano Ballisai and won the fight by unanimous decision.
On 13 August 2016, Tatli will face Manuel Lancia in Savonlinna.[6]
