Both fighters are looking to make their mark in the 140-pound division. Catterall has two losses on his record, both in world title fights. He fell short against Josh Taylor in Tokyo in 2022 and lost to Barboza in February 2025. Eubank, on the other hand, comes in undefeated in 21 fights but hasn't faced an opponent of Catterall's caliber yet.
The undercard features some exciting matchups. Lerrone Richards, a former WBA interim super middleweight champion, will take on Steed Woodall as he tries to get back in the international mix. Unbeaten lightweight Mark Chamberlain is also on the card, showing off his power and discipline. He might be ready for European title fights soon. Leeds prospect Hopey Price, known for his aggressive style and good distance management, will also feature.
Kalle Sauerland, Eubank's promoter, shared his thoughts on the matchup. He said:
"Harlem has a fantastic character and is a fighter, his behavior is very humble. He has progressed little by little, but this is the moment. He has the pressure of the name."
Sauerland also had praise for Catterall, but thinks the pressure is on him:
"Catterall is a great fighter, a gentleman and an image of this sport, I think the pressure is on him, as far as his career is concerned. He almost made it; this is a matter of life and death for him."
The fight will be broadcast on DAZN and TalkSport. With tickets nearly sold out, the AO Arena is expected to be packed for this exciting matchup between two fighters who've never been knocked out.
