Amateur career
Piispanen won a bronze medal in the bantamweight division at the 2002 Finnish national amateur championships.[1] He followed this up with silver at lightweight in 2003[2] and bronze at light-welterweight in 2005.[3]
Professional career
On 30 September 2005, Piispanen made his professional debut by winning a four-round unanimous decision against Arturs Jaskuls, who also debuted. Piispanen fought for his first regional title against European Union super-lightweight champion Giuseppe Lauri on 19 December 2008, but was stopped in six rounds.[4] Two years later, on 18 July 2010, Piispanen fought again for the now-vacant title, stopping Emanuele de Prophetis in four rounds to become champion.
His first defence, on 27 November 2010, against Daniel Rasilla, ended in a split draw.[5] Piispanen was not as fortunate in his second defence, on 3 June 2011, as he lost to Vittorio Oi via seventh-round unanimous technical decision.[6] On 13 October 2012, Piispanen attempted to regain his title, now made vacant, against Lenny Daws. After twelve rounds, Piispanen lost a unanimous decision.[7] A chance to win the full European light-welterweight title came on 21 December 2013, against Michele di Rocco, but Piispanen lost again via unanimous decision.[8]
