Harlem Eubank’s rolling back into Brighton like a man who’s been stewing for months. That Catterall loss? Still a raw nerve. Folks called him overrated, soft when the lights got hot. Now he’s got November 21 circled, walking back into the Brighton Centre to handle Canada’s wild man Josh Wagner — live on Channel 5 — and shut a few loud mouths.
Harlem’s not selling hope this time; he’s coming home mad. Brighton crowds know him. They’ve seen him style guys and they’ve seen him bite down when needed. He’s promising violence this go round.
Wagner’s Here To Wreck The Comeback
Josh Wagner ain’t flying across the Atlantic to be polite. Former IBF International champ, built to scrap, smells blood in Harlem’s water. “I watched Eubank’s last fight — he clearly didn’t go in there to win,” Wagner said. “He stepped up in class and was exposed. His career’s on the ropes. He needs a win bad, but he picked the wrong guy. I’m relentless. I train to knock people out. On November 21 Eubank will fall.”
Harlem clapped back fast. “That fight with Catterall proved I belong at world level,” he snapped. “Critics couldn’t wait to kick me while I was down, but I’m going to be world champ. Handle business on November 21, then straight to the title. Trust me, I’m only getting started — and at home, the naysayers are eating their words. Brighton knows what happens when I fight here. I finish.”
Sauerland Says Don’t Bet Against A Eubank
Kalle Sauerland’s banging the drum too. “Never, ever, write off a Eubank,” he warned. “Harlem belongs at world level — that Catterall fight showed it. Beat Wagner and he’s straight in the mix for a title next year. Brighton will rock.”
Undercard’s got its own chaos: Niall Brown vs Darren Johnstone for the vacant IBO European super middleweight strap. Before that, big lads Matty Harris and Franklin Ignatius settle beef in an eight-round heavyweight banger.
Been around long enough to smell what this is — a rehab job that could blow up if Wagner’s as wild as advertised. Harlem’s slick, got pedigree, but he’s had questions about bite when it gets ugly. Wagner will make it ugly.
My call? Harlem rides the storm, boxes cute early, then starts cooking to the body late. Wagner gets brave, leaves openings, and gets ironed out somewhere around eight or nine. Don’t expect clean chess — expect a street fight with gloves.
I seen both these guys fight and I gotta say Wagner hits harder and looks meaner doing it 💪 Harlem slick but slick don’t help when you get cornered.
All this ‘Eubank comeback’ stuff is just hype to sell tickets in Brighton 👎 If this fight was anywhere else nobody would care.
Couldn’t agree more Callum! Local crowd ain’t gonna stop punches from landing – Wagner coming to ruin that party.
‘World level’? Based on what? One loss? That makes zero sense to me honestly 🤷♂️ I think folks just wanna believe in the name and not the actual skill.
Facts Ross! If someone loses bad and still gets title talk, it just shows how fake boxing promotions be nowadays 😒.
Harlem better bring more than anger to the ring or Wagner will eat him alive by round six.
‘Don’t bet against a Eubank’? What kind of logic is that? Name don’t win fights, punches do. Harlem’s been lucky with easy fights till Catterall showed him real levels 🔥.
Everyone keeps hyping this up like Eubank gonna bounce back like some hero movie, but boxing don’t work that way. He couldn’t handle Catterall and now Wagner’s even more dangerous.
Exactly! People acting like just cuz it’s in Brighton it’s a done deal for Eubank. Home crowd don’t win fights – fists do! 💪
Yeah Amanda, and Wagner got nothing to lose here so he gonna come out swinging hard from round one. That pressure could break Harlem again.
Wagner sounds way more hungry than Eubank. Eubank just mad cuz people called him out for being soft, but getting mad ain’t the same as fighting smart. Wagner’s training to knock him out, not talk on TV 😤.
People keep sayin’ Eubank is world class but I don’t see it. He lost when it counted and now he talkin’ like he a champ already. Talk is cheap, let’s see if he can even last ten rounds 🥱.
I don’t think Harlem Eubank got what it takes no more. He already showed he fold under pressure against Catterall. Just because he fightin’ at home don’t mean he magically tougher now. Wagner gonna expose him again 💥.
