Where is Jack Catterall vs. Harlem Eubank?
The fight is taking place at AO Arena in Manchester, England.
Who is Jack Catterall?
Catterall, 30-2 (13 KOs), is a 32-year-old from Chorley, England, about half an hour from Manchester, which means he will be fighting in front of his home crowd for the third straight time.
This time, it will be up at welterweight.
Catterall spent the bulk of his career down at 140lbs. In the eyes of many, he was robbed of becoming the undisputed junior welterweight champion. Instead, two of the three judges sided with defending champ Josh Taylor on that night in February 2022.
Following that split decision defeat, Catterall compiled a four-fight win streak that featured unanimous decisions over Jorge Linares, a since-deposed Taylor in their rematch, and former titleholder Regis Prograis.
That landed Catterall an opportunity to fight Arnold Barboza this past February for the interim WBO belt, and the right to challenge full titleholder Teofimo Lopez Jnr or be upgraded if Lopez vacated. Barboza won a split decision over Catterall but lost to Lopez in May. Catterall, meanwhile, has opted to ply his trade at 147lbs.
Catterall is still relatively young. He’s entering a weight class that continues to be in flux following the departures of Terence Crawford and Errol Spence and the likely exit of unified titleholder Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Among the names currently calling welterweight home are Mario Barrios, who will defend his WBC title against a returning Manny Pacquiao this month; and Brian Norman Jnr, who will defend his WBO belt against Devin Haney this November.
It is not the deepest pool of talent or star power, but we don’t even know yet if Catterall can compete against the next tiers, which include Rolando “Rolly” Romero, former titleholder Eimantas Stanionis, Shakhram Giyasov, Alexis Rocha, and the winner of the Lewis Crocker-Paddy Donovan rematch.
We’re getting ahead of ourselves, though. First Catterall needs to take care of the person directly ahead of him:
Who is Harlem Eubank?
Eubank, 21-0 (9 KOs), is a 31-year-old from Brighton, England. He’s been capitalizing on his famous last name, and now he wants to capitalize on the name of his next opponent.
Eubank’s father was pro boxer Simon Eubank, who died in 2023. The most famous family member is uncle Chris Eubank Snr, followed by cousin Chris Eubank Jnr. After a relatively short amateur career, Harlem turned pro in 2017 and spent the past several years at or slightly above the junior welterweight limit.
He fought just once last year after a planned bout with fellow unbeaten prospect Adam Azim fell through. Eubank moved up to 147lbs for his November match, a unanimous decision over the 16-3 Nurali Erdogan. He made sure the rest of the rust was shaken off with a return this past March, stopping the 24-5-1 Tyrone McKenna in the 10th round.
Eubank is now at the age, and the phase of his career, where it is time to step up. Catterall will present a significant jump in the level of class and experience and skill. Now it’s on Eubank to rise to the occasion.
What other fights are on the undercard of Jack Catterall vs. Harlem Eubank?
This show also features former junior lightweight titleholder Joe Cordina, 17-1 (9 KOs), making his debut at 135lbs after being dethroned by Anthony Cacace 14 months ago. Cordina will face Jaret Gonzalez Quiroz, 17-1 (13 KOs).
Former featherweight titleholder Skye Nicolson, 12-1 (1 KOs), is also stepping back in the ring after her first defeat to Tiara Brown in March. Nicolson has moved down to junior featherweight and will meet Carla Camila Campos Gonzales, 9-3 (8 KOs).
Plus there will be several prospects in separate bouts, including cruiserweight Pat Brown, 2-0 (2 KOs), who competed in the 2024 Olympics; heavyweight Leo Atang, an 18-year-old making his pro debut; featherweight Alfie Middlemiss, 3-0 (0 KOs), an actor who turned to boxing; and junior middleweight William Crolla, 8-0 (6 KOs), younger brother of former lightweight titleholder Anthony Crolla.
