EBU super lightweight champion Franck Petitjean (24-6-3) had a voluntary defense lined up against Harlem Eubank (18-0) a fight that was supposed to go ahead in November in Brighton (UK) but that is now off.

Instead, a defense against mandatory challenger ex-champ Enock Poulsen (13-0) is next up (again). The EBU has set September 4 as the deadline for purse bids.

Poulsen is still set to be one of the headline fighters on promoter Bettina Palle's show in Copenhagen October 7.
