For vacant EBU welterweight beltBy Per-Ake Persson 45-year old Italian Gianluca Branco (49-3-1 and inactive since late 2014) have relinquished the EBU title. He was to have defended the title April 22 in Florence against Leonardo Bundu (32-1-2). The rumors have been flying for weeks that Branco would pull out and now it´s a fact.
To save the show for promoter Mario Loreni Finn Jussi Koivula (19-2-1 and # 20 in the EBU ratings) have been elevated from a spot on the undercard to fight Bundu, who fought Keith Thurman in 2014 for the WBA interim title and previously held the EBU title. Per-Åke Persson
