HARLEM EUBANK is ready to knock off another of Eddie Hearn’s top stars when he takes on Jack Catterall.
Eubank watched in awe as his cousin Chris beat Conor Benn in their second generation grudge match in April.

Now the undefeated welterweight travels to Catterall’s Manchester backyard on Saturday on a show promoted by Hearn.
But Eubank, 31, told SunSport: “These are the type of nights I’ve dreamt about.
“I’ve said I think he’s the best on the Matchroom roster. He’s beaten former world champion after former world champion.
“I believe that he was undisputed not too long ago and that’s where I believe you know I can be, that’s where I want to be and these are the type of fights that I need.
“This is the perfect opportunity to go in there and show my ability in the sport.
“This is what we work day in, day out, in the gym for these opportunities to go into a champions backyard and rip it away from them.
“It’s going to be a beautiful night and I’ve been preparing for this type of fight.
“This is why I got into the game to go up against the best and and take it to them. And we’re not too far away now.”

Catterall was robbed of winning the undisputed super-lightweight titles after losing a controversial split-decision to Josh Taylor in 2022.
He won the rematch – but for no belt – before losing to Arnold Barboza Jr in February.
Now he moves up to 147lb for a no-nonsense affair with 21-0 Eubank, who said: “I’m a real fighter.
“I’m not here to create fake narratives and tell people that I’m gonna knock them out if I don’t believe I’m going to do everything I say.
“And I think Jack’s the same. Jack, he’s a real fighter. He’s been there. He’s done it. He’s proven it at world level.
“I’m not going to do anything fake, you know, if it’s real and there’s back and forth I’m all for it and most of all I’m ready to go in there and perform and put on an emphatic display.”
