Edis Tatli, 35-Years-Old, Decides To Retire From Boxing

One of Finland's best fighters in the modern era, lightweight Edis Tatli, has announced his retirement. The 35-year old Tatli last fought in 2019 and then suffered a long series of shoulder- and hand injuries. That along with Covid-19 kept him out of the ring and now he's decided to retire.

Tatli, who leaves the ring with a 32-3 record, turned pro in 2007 and won the EBU lightweight title twice and challenged then WBA champion Richar Abril in 2014 but lost on points.

In the biggest fight of his career, he fought Teofimo Lopez at the Madison Square Garden in New York City but was knocked out by a body shot in the fifth round.

Edis Tatli was throughout his career trained by Pekka Maeki.

He along with Helenius are the two modern Finnish greats.

It's a shame how his career basically ended in 2019, with covid and the injuries and the lack of interest for boxing in Finland. He should've won the European belt once more. Helenius is more or less the only pro boxer in Finland now. Would be really something if he beats Wilder.

Eva Wahlström or Helenius. Tatli and Asikainen were good too but not as succesful as those two.

Gunnar Bärlund! He fought in The Garden once.
