Saturday’s clash in Manchester between Jack Catterall and Harlem Eubank! Two Brits, two careers, one goal: a breakthrough at welterweight.
A thrilling British welterweight clash is set to take place at the AO Arena in Manchester this weekend as Jack Catterall (28-1) takes on the unbeaten Harlem Eubank (21-0). Both fighters faced each other at the official Final Press Conference on Thursday – with clear announcements on both sides.
Jack Catterall, who almost became undisputed world champion in his controversial fight against Josh Taylor, is motivated and eager to fight: “We could have taken an easier route, but these fights are what excite me. I know Harlem will give it their all – but I’m here to show that I’ve still got what it takes.”
Harlem Eubank, nephew of Chris Eubank Sr., wants to make his breakthrough on the world stage on Saturday: “I’ve been working in the background for eleven years. Now is my time. I want to show the world what I’m capable of.” Promoter Eddie Hearn sees the fight as a real highlight: “Two fighters at different points in their careers – that’s why I love this fight. A real British firecracker live on DAZN!”
