Lele Sadjo relinquishes EBU title, in order to go ahead with Mbilli fight

Kevin Lele Sadjo (24-0, 21 KOs) has decided to relinquish EBU European title in super-middleweight in order to go ahead with IBF eliminator fight against Christian Mbilli (28-0, 23 KOs).

Lele Sadjo was supposed to fight Italian, Ivan Zucco (21-0, 18 KOs) in a mandatory defense, but he decided to relinquish title.
