More news from Finland: Kevin Mitchell (39-4) told Sky Sports he was to fight EBU lightweight champ Edis Tatli (26-1) March 12 in Helsinki. This is not confirmed anywhere and there are some questionmarks around it. Mitchell have lost twice back to back and would normally need a win in his last fight in order to be eligible to fight for the EBU title – but then again, no rule without exceptions.
