Harlem Eubank will take on Jack Catterall this this Saturday live on DAZN from Manchester. Catterall, best known for his two big fights with Josh Taylor, was last seen losing a 12 round split decision against Arnold Barboza, the February fight contesting the vacant WBO interim belt at welterweight on July 5 in Manchester, at The AO Arena.
Catterall, 30-2(13), will be by far and away the biggest name and the best fighter Eubank has fought to date. Indeed, this fight will represent a big step up for the man who is the cousin of Eubank Jr. But Harlem, who is currently unbeaten at 21-0(9), feels he is more than ready to step up, and he has shown us – in good wins over Timo Schwarzkopf and, last time out, Tyrone McKenna – how much of a talent he is. And Eubank has built up quite a large fanbase thanks to him having boxed on terrestrial TV in the UK; with millions tuning in on Channel 5.
This one has the look of a very intriguing fight, and it is hoped it will be made. And as Eddie Hearn says correctly: the Eubank name is “hot right now.”
