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.'

Jack Catterall ‘will need plastic surgery' after ‘one of worst cuts ever' sees Harlem Eubank fight called off
Two former world champions insist even 12 stitches won't help Jack Catterall HORROR INJURY Jack Catterall 'will need plastic surgery' after 'one of worst cuts ever' sees Harlem Eubank fight called off JACK CATTERALL will need plastic surgery after suffering a gruesome injury in his fight against Harlem Eubank, according to two boxing legends. Catterall, 32, handed Eubank, 31, his first ever loss in 22 fights on a disappointing technical decision after an accidental head clash got the fight called off after just six rounds. 4 Jack Catterall will need plastic surgery after his gruesome injury 4 Catterall and his opponent Harlem Eubank suffered deep cuts above their eye Both fighters suffered nasty cuts above their eyes, which led to the bout being waved off and going to the judges amid a cacophony of boos. Catterall, who won via unanimous decision with a score of 69-65, 69-66 and 69-66, suffered a wound that was far worse than Eubank's. That led to former world champions Carl Frampton and Tony Bellew insisting El Gato will "definitely" need plastic surgery. The duo are adamant the cut is so deep that even 12 stitches wouldn't do the trick. In post fight analysis Frampton told DAZN: "That will definitely need plastic surgery. It's so deep. "There's no chance that that can be simply stitched up. Ten to twelve stitches won't do." Bellew agreed: "100 per cent, he'll need a specialist to sort that out." Catterall, though, is just happy to be back to winning ways after only his second boxing loss in 33 fights against Arnold Barboza Jr in February. The Chorley star said: "Respect to Harlem, but I was breaking him down. "It's frustrating I couldn't go through the gears. It's a head clash and I just have to move on. Harlem Eubank has one of boxing's most iconic surnames but he had to make his way in dingy 2,000-seat leisure centres 'The referee made the decision, it's out of my control. He was slippery and tricky but I felt I was catching him with the cleaner shots. 'I am back in the win column now, after back-to-back defeats, so I now can get back in the big fights.' 4 Carl Frampton is adamant Catterall will need a specialist after beating Eubank
