Jack Catterall (30-2, 13 KOs) moves up to welterweight on Saturday, July 5, to face unbeaten Harlem Eubank (21-0, 9 KOs) at Manchester’s AO Arena. The fight headlines a DAZN card in association with Wasserman Boxing and Matchroom (10:00 p.m. local / 5:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. PT), and it’s a proper domestic test — one man clinging to world-level relevance, the other chasing it.
Catterall’s still steaming from that robbery against Taylor. Now he’s coming off another close loss — and he’s got zero room to slip again.
Catterall’s crossroads or Eubank’s arrival?
Catterall didn’t just lose to Barboza in February — he lost leverage. His shot at a title got burned, and now he’s testing himself at 147. He’s no longer the “should’ve been undisputed” guy — he’s the guy who can’t afford a third L on the record. That makes him dangerous… but also vulnerable.
Harlem Eubank, meanwhile, hasn’t lost since turning pro in 2017. But let’s be real — he hasn’t exactly swum with sharks. His biggest win? Tyron McKenna, stopped in nine in Brighton. The hype’s heating up, and now he finally gets a live opponent — one who’s boxed at the real top tier.
If Eubank wins, he steals all of Catterall’s credibility in one night. If he gets exposed? He goes back to domestic rebuild mode.
A British rivalry that actually means something
This isn’t fluff matchmaking. This is one of those domestic fights that matters — like Benn vs. McKinson or Taylor vs. Davies. It’s clean, simple, and brutally timed. Catterall needs to win to stay relevant. Eubank needs to win to prove he ever was.
Promoters love to toss around “world-level” for anything with belts and buzzwords. But here? The winner of this is in serious contention for a 147 title shot. The loser’s getting cut out of the conversation entirely.

(comical tone) Can’t wait for DAZN camera man zoom into Eubank’s face when Jack hit em wit da jab 😂💥 they gonna need subtitles for his thoughts ‘what am I doin here bruv’ 😭😭
(informative tone) If u look at rankings and past opponents, U see Eubank has more W’s but against weaker foes📊. Catterall been in with top dogs — Taylor, Barboza — so skill wise he ahead.
(negative tone) Total waste of a main event tbh. Both these guys mid-tier at best n fans hyping it like its Ali-Frazier 🙄 Catterall cried over Taylor loss too long n Harlem ain’t done nun.
‘One man clingin to relevanse’ 😂 wow the shade is real in this post looool but truth hurts innit? Catteral got no more Ls to spend bruv better go in like it’s last supper 🍽️
Eubank’s gona get cooked 😩😂 who he beat?? McKenna? Big deal lol. This ain’t Brighton club show anymore bro. Caterral bout to remind y’all who he iz frfr 🥊
@Colin Wilson hahah fr 😂💀 imagine thinking Eubank ready for prime time after stoppin McKenna looool
I think this article shows how boxing is more than punchs. it’s stratagy, career choice and timing. Catteral iz desperate now, so its all or nothin for him. That makes fight Xciting.
EXACTLY! ppl be like ‘just win’ but its not simple like dat. He’s fightin his own legacy here too not just Eubank 🙄
Jack shoud never left 140, he waz best there!! Go up now & lose again? 🤦♂️ Eubank ain’t even proven yet, just padded record bro. I dnt think this end good for Jack
