Jack Catterall secures strange win over Harlem Eubank after suffering gruesome cut
Jack Catterall was awarded a technical decision victory over Harlem Eubank on Saturday, as he led on the scorecards when a nasty cut forced the end of the fight – his own cut, no less. Catterall, fighting Eubank at Manchester's AO Arena, led 69-65, 69-66, 69-66 when the bout was halted due to a severe cut over the Chorley boxer's right eye. The action was halted in round seven, much to the chagrin of Eubank – the nephew of British boxing icon Chris Eubank – who made clear his frustration after the bout. 'His corner was told he couldn't continue,' Eubank, 31, told reporters after the bout, which marked Catterall's welterweight debut. 'It was nothing to do with me, and that was a fake narrative live on the commentary. 'There were so-called independent commentators in his dressing room before the fight and coaching him ringside,' Eubank alleged. 'I've not experienced something like that.' When asked to put a name to the accusation, Eubank said: '[Former champion] Carl Frampton. You know, I was a fan of this guy. I feel like I've been done dirty this evening. 'I was carrying out the gameplan to a T, and that is to make him miss and to make him pay late. And if you watch my championship fights, when I take out my opponents, that is exactly how I execute a gameplan. 'And the referee took that away from me tonight in not letting Jack Catterall continue.' Saturday's result marked a first professional defeat for Eubank, while 32-year-old Catterall bounced back from his narrow loss to Arnold Barboza Jr from February.

Catterall predicts bad ending for Eubank
Jack Catterall and Harlem Eubank in their final press conference, as Eddie Hearn looks on, ahead tonight's fight JACK Catterall has warned Harlem Eubank that it is going to 'end badly for him' as he looks to make a winning return to the ring. The pair meet in a welterweight clash at Manchester's AO Arena this evening with the Chorley fighter saying he has 'doubled down' on training since his defeat to Arnold Barboza Jr in February. Advertisement That defeat cost Catterall a shot at the light welterweight world title but, having stepped up a weight, the 32-year-old is now excited to step in against the unbeaten Eubank. 'We could have come back and chosen a different route, but these are the fights that excite me, the domestic clashes, and this is what I am here for,' he said. 'Harlem is undefeated, talented, and he's going to come with everything. 'A few years ago, I was in his position, waiting for that opportunity and chomping at the bit, so this is his opportunity, but I am here to prove I've still got it.' Catterall, who has 30 wins and two defeats to his name - he went on to avenge the controversial defeat to Josh Taylor - believes he will be too good for the Brighton fighter. Advertisement 'I've worked so hard up to this point, we had a stinker in the last fight, but I've doubled down, been training hard and I believe I am levels above him,' he added. 'I'm very confident, if he thinks he can come and knock me out he's got a big problem in front of him and it's going to end badly for him.' Eubank is ready to face the 'best version' of Catterall but he insists he is ready to prove that he can compete at world level. 'I'm more than ready,' he said. ' I've been training behind the scenes for 11 years, working on the art form and I believe I'm ready to go in there and show the world what I am capable of up at World level. Advertisement 'This is the level I've built myself to and the level I was destined for when I entered the sport. I laced up the gloves because I wanted to become a World champion, I've spent my time in the sport grafting away to get to this point and now is the chance to get in there and prove that a World championship is not too far away. 'I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes with. He's got the bit between his teeth, he's been away to America, so we're going to get the best version of Jack Catterall and that's exactly what I have been training for.' Promoter Eddie Hearn says it is a 'must win' fight for Catterall and he is looking forward to the domestic blockbuster. 'Two guys in very different positions in their careers, and that's why I love this fight,' he said. ' Jack Catterall, we know the story, he should have been the undisputed champion, we expected him to be fighting Teofimo Lopez just a few months ago until he lost to Barboza. Advertisement 'Now, up steps Harlem Eubank, 21-0, and a guy doing fantastically well on Channel 5 drawing big audiences, and he rolls the dice at World level. 'It's a must-win fight for Jack and a big opportunity for Harlem to gatecrash the World scene at 147lbs.'

Bloodied Catterall outpoints Eubank after head clash
A bloodied Jack Catterall outpointed Harlem Eubank by technical decision in an all-British welterweight bout that ended prematurely because of a clash of heads at Manchester's AO 31, delivered a typically cautious performance, controlling the bout with a safety-first approach, but neither fighter was willing to take major fighters clashed heads during a tangle in the sixth round. Both sustained cuts, but Catterall's – above the right eye - was visibly being examined by the ringside doctor at the end of the round, the fight looked set to continue. However, at the start of the seventh, referee Bob Williams halted proceedings, and the bout went to the scorecards. All three judges awarded the fight to Catterall, with scores of 69-65, 69-66, and 69-66."The fight was going how I expected it to go. I was breaking him down," said the Chorley boxer. "It's not the way I wanted to win."Fighting at welterweight for the first time, Catterall expressed relief at returning to winning ways after a loss to Arnold Barboza Jr. in April - a defeat that cost him a shot at the light-welterweight world Eubank, the nephew of British boxing legend Chris Eubank Sr, suffered the first defeat of his pro career in his 22nd bout. The 31-year-old immediately called for a rematch, claiming he was on track for a "spectacular stoppage victory". Mind games & disappointing early ending The mind games began before the opening bell, when Catterall sent Conor Benn - who defeated Harlem's cousin, Chris Eubank Jr, in their April grudge match - to inspect Eubank's hand-wrapping."Didn't want to miss this," Benn quipped during the awkward encounter, before returning to Catterall's dressing room to report, "[Eubank's] head has gone", as the pair the ring, Eubank smiled nervously through a tentative opening as Catterall, as expected, edged the early rounds with his superior skill and ring IQ, though without fully imposing who has gained through his appearances on free-to-air television, began to land single shots, but it was clear he was second best against the more accomplished career wins over Josh Taylor, Jorge Linares, and Regis Prograis, Catterall's class was the pair tumbled to the canvas in the third, and again in a messy sixth. Then came the accidental clash, followed by Eubank striking the back of Catterall's home favourite returned to his corner to have the blood wiped away - an action not allowed wisely given the severity of the cut, referee Williams then halted the bout at one second into the seventh, prompting boos from a 5,000 strong crowd. Afterwards, promoter Eddie Hearn dismissed talk of a rematch and said Catterall would be maneuvered back into world title contention. Cordina's winning comeback as Atang & Brown shine Former super-featherweight champion Joe Cordina returned from a 14-month lay-off with a hard-fought points win over Jaret Gonzalez Quiroz to claim the vacant WBO global lightweight 33-year-old Welshman, who lost his IBF title to Anthony Cacace in May 2024, had to dig deep against the quick-handed and spirited 24-year-old Mexican. Despite some ring rust, Cordina's experience and boxing craft saw him through to a unanimous decision, with scorecards of 100-90, 99-91 and 98-92. Cordina had been set to face Shakur Stevenson for the WBC title last October before the American withdrew through injury. Back on track, Cordina said he was now hoping to fight again as soon as possible. Earlier, Australian former WBC featherweight world champion Skye Nicolson, 29, stopped Carla Camila Campos Gonzales in the second round of their super-bantamweight bout. Manchester cruiserweight Pat Brown extended his perfect professional record with a dominant first-round stoppage of Lewis Oakford. Just two weeks after securing his second win, the 25-year-old made it three from three in emphatic fashion, landing a series of spiteful, unanswered punches that forced the referee to step debutant Leo Atang was equally explosive, securing a first-round stoppage of journeyman Milen Paunov. The 18-year-old from York - standing 6ft 6in tall - dropped Paunov, 41, with a punishing body shot before finishing the bout with a clinical flurry."I believe that is the start of a journey to a world heavyweight championship," said promoter Eddie Hearn, comparing Atang to two-time world champion Anthony Joshua.
