A third fight between lightweights Francesco Patera (23-3) and Edis Tatli (32-3) could be on its way for early 2020 as Tatli is now official challenger for the EBU title held by Patera.
Patera came to Finland in 2017 as a lightly regarded opponent for then EBU champ Tatli, who appeared on his way to the US for a major title fight. However, Patera won a close, disputed split decision in what on paper was a big upset and a rematch was made and now Tatli won and later relinquished the title and went on to fight in the US where he lost to Teofimo Lopez.
Patera then got his chance at the vacant EBU title and beat Lewis Ritson in what again was regarded as a big upset and have since gone on to make three more title defence and no-one takes him lightly anymore.
The EBU have set December 20 as deadline for agreements or contracts and there are ongoing negotiations.
