"I’ll Stop Him" – Catterall and Eubank Speak After Fight Announcement

It was officially announced this week that a welterweight bout (limit: 66.7 kg) between Jack Catterall (30-2, 13 KOs) and Harlem Eubank (21-0, 9 KOs) will take place on July 5 in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Both fighters spoke out about their expectations for the showdown. Reflecting on the meaning of this clash, Catterall emphasized that the fight carries personal motivation and high stakes, making it far more than just another outing.

“You know, it wasn’t really about weight — it was about getting back in the ring with Harlem. This is a brilliant domestic matchup, and British fans love these kinds of fights. The name Eubank carries attention, so this made sense.

It’s massively important — I’ve got nowhere to hide. I need to go in there and put on a dominant performance. There are big questions around both of us, and I’m expecting a tough fight, but I believe I’ll get the win,” said Catterall.

Meanwhile, Harlem Eubank expressed confidence and ambition. The younger member of the iconic Eubank boxing family sees this opportunity as his moment to break through on the world stage.

“This is exactly the kind of fight we wanted next — a world-level opponent. This is a guy that most in the boxing world saw as the rightful undisputed champion. People believe he beat Josh Taylor back in February 2022 — and that wasn’t long ago. So he’s still elite.

We believe he’s the best fighter in Britain — and that’s the kind of scalp I want. I plan to make a huge statement, not just in Britain but internationally.

Prediction? I’ll stop him,” Eubank told The Ring.
