Harlem Eubank is coming back with a point to prove when he takes on ‘wild man’ Josh Wagner, live on 5.

Eubank returns to the Brighton Centre, on Friday, November 21 to face the Canadian following his highly contentious loss to Jack Catterall earlier this year.

Harlem plans on shutting up his critics and putting himself firmly back in world title contention with a devastating victory, in front of his home fans.

But Wagner, the former IBF International champion, is straining at the leash for his chance to wreck Eubank’s title plans and heads to Brighton ready to inflict a crushing defeat on his rival.

Wasserman Boxing, in association with Ladbrokes and Infinitum, can also confirm the first two barnstorming undercard fights for the November 21 show, with Niall Brown facing Darren Johnstone for the vacant IBO European Super Middleweight title.

But not before hard-hitting heavyweights Matty Harris and Franklin Ignatius take their bad blood into an eight-round shootout, with the winner moving towards a domestic title shot in the New Year. 

Tickets go on sale on Monday at 10am at www.wassermanboxing.com.

Harlem Eubank said: “The fight with Catterall proved that I belong at world level.

“The critics couldn’t wait to stick the boot in afterwards, but mark my words, I will be world champion and after I handle business on November 21 against Josh Wagner, I’m coming straight for the title.

“Trust me, I’m only just getting started and in front of my home fans, I’ll make the naysayers eat their words as it will be Eubank supremacy once again with a devastating display.

“Everyone has seen what happens when I fight in Brighton, I produce clinical performances and get the job done inside the distance, and this will be exactly the same.”

Josh Wagner said: “I watched Eubank’s last fight, and he clearly didn’t go in there to win.

“He stepped up in class and was exposed.  His career is on the ropes, and he desperately needs a win to get back on track, but he’s picked the wrong opponent for that.

“I’m relentless, I train to knock people out and on November 21 Eubank will fall.”

Kalle Sauerland, Head of Global Boxing at Wasserman, said: “Never, ever, write off a Eubank.

“And Harlem cannot wait to meet Wagner in the middle of the ring and put on a performance that sets the record straight.

“This man proved he belongs at world level in that Catterall fight and victory over the wild man Wagner, puts him right in the picture for a title shot next year.

“It’ll not be a fight for the feint-hearted and tops a brilliant card which also features an IBO title showdown between Niall Brown and Darren Johnstone, as well as Harris vs. Ignatius in a heavyweight humdinger, that has bad intentions written all over it!

“Brighton will rock on November 21, live on 5.”

CARDIFF, WALES (May 3, 2024) – English Champion Mark Jeffers will defend his Commonwealth Silver Super Middleweight Title against Scottish Champion Darren Johnstone on Saturday, May 11th at the Utilita Arena Cardiff, live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, BBC Wales in Wales and Peacock in the USA.

The undefeated super middleweights clash as part of a huge night of boxing in Cardiff topped by Lauren Price MBE challenging Jessica McCaskill for the WBA, IBO and Ring Magazine World Welterweight Titles.

Jeffers (17-0, 4 KOs), who is currently ranked #3 with the EBU, is proving to be a dangerman in the 168lbs division. The 26-year-old from Chorley stepped in at short notice to defeat current British and Commonwealth Champion Zak Chelli to claim the English and Commonwealth Silver Titles in July 2023.

Jeffers followed this up with a convincing points win over Germaine Browne at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool in January to retain his belts.

Johnstone captured the Scottish Super Middleweight Title with a first round stoppage win over Ben McGivern. Johnstone sent his opponent to the canvas inside the first stanza before the fight was stopped at the end of the round due to a cut above McGivern’s left eye.

The newly crowned Scottish champion will now step up to face his English counterpart in a battle of Britain in the Welsh capital.

History maker Price, the first Welsh boxer to win Olympic gold, has the chance to write her name in the record books again by becoming the country’s first female world champion when she attempts to dethrone current welterweight ruler McCaskill and claim the WBA, IBO and Ring Magazine World Titles.

Rhys Edwards faces former British Champion and WBA #1 contender Thomas Patrick Ward for the WBA Intercontinental Featherweight Title, Hughie Fury returns against Germany’s Patrick Korte, Kyran Jones takes on fellow unbeaten Welshman Lewis Howell, Kane Shepherd meets Ishmael Ellis and Swansea heavyweight hope Moses Jolly continues his quest to become Wales’ first heavyweight world champion.

This event is presented in association with official partners bet365, Integritas Property Group and HELL Energy.
