Harlem Eubank
Eubank, fighting in his hometown of Brighton, looks to build on his December victory in Newcastle and prove he’s ready for championship-level competition. Known for his sharp boxing skills and poise under pressure, Eubank is eager to make a statement at 147 pounds.
Eubank: “Back home in Brighton, I’ll show everyone why I belong at the top of the welterweight division. McKenna is a tough test, but this is my moment to shine.”
Tyrone McKenna
The Belfast brawler enters with momentum after his two-round war, dubbed the “Irish Hagler-Hearns.” McKenna is renowned for his fearless approach, iron chin, and willingness to trade punches with anyone.
McKenna: “I’m coming to Brighton to bring the fight to Eubank. He’s never faced someone like me, and on March 7, he’ll find out there’s no easy way out.”

While I appreciate Eubank’s unbeaten record, it’s crucial to remember that he hasn’t faced a fighter with McKenna’s experience. This could be a significant factor in the outcome. Eubank needs to be cautious and not underestimate his opponent.
I disagree with the notion that Eubank will easily win this fight. McKenna has proven himself in tough battles and possesses the heart to take on anyone. The odds may favor Eubank, but underestimating McKenna could lead to an upset.
