Manchester, UK – July 4, 2025 – Boxing fans are in for a treat as the all British welterweight clash between Jack Catterall and Harlem Eubank takes center stage at the AO Arena this Saturday, July 5. Before the main event, fight enthusiasts can tune into a free Before The Bell livestream of the preliminary bouts on YouTube, starting at 12:00 PM ET/9:00 AM PT, setting the stage for an electrifying night of boxing action. The main card, broadcast live on DAZN from 7:00 PM BST (2:00 PM ET/11:00 AM PT), promises to deliver a thrilling domestic showdown.
Jack “El Gato” Catterall (30-2, 13 KOs), a seasoned southpaw from Chorley, England, steps into the ring looking to rebound from a split decision loss to Arnold Barboza Jr. in February, which cost him a shot at the WBO interim super lightweight title. Now moving up to the 147-pound welterweight division, Catterall aims to leverage his experience against top-tier opponents like Josh Taylor, Regis Prograis, and Jorge Linares to reassert his path toward a world title.
Facing him is the undefeated Harlem Eubank (21-0, 9 KOs) from Brighton, England, nephew of boxing legend Chris Eubank Sr. and cousin to Chris Eubank Jr. The 31-year-old is stepping up to the biggest challenge of his career, coming off a 10th-round TKO victory over Tyrone McKenna in March. Eubank is eager to prove his family name carries weight in the ring, with ambitions of catapulting himself into world title contention.
Both fighters weighed in at 146.5 pounds, with tensions running high during a fiery face-off, hinting at the intensity to come. The bout, contested for the WBA International and IBF Intercontinental welterweight titles, is expected to be a tactical battle, with Catterall favored at -340 and Eubank as the underdog at +240, per FanDuel Sportsbook.
