Including dates and times of Harlem Eubank's fight against Nurali Erdogan
BOXING lovers are thrilled that Harlem Eubank's next fight is just hours away.
After the fight was delayed, fans are eager for Eubank to take on Nurali Erdogan, which will now take place tonight.
Harlem is related to the former boxer Chris Eubank
Harlem captured public attention during his last win over Timo Schwarzkopf.
The undefeated boxer was originally set to face former French welterweight champion Nurali Erdgoan on Friday, October 25.
But the organisers confirmed rescheduled the event to offer fans a more 'complete' experience.
Harlem Eubank was born in Brighton on February 23, 1993.
He competes in the super lightweight division and comes from a famous boxing family.
Harlem was a Seagulls academy prospect and a karate world champion, who avoided boxing for the first 18 years of his life because of the burden that comes with following in famous footsteps.
But now the deep-thinking fighter - who sadly lost father Simon in September 2023 after a devastating battle with dementia - concedes it was probably a pre-written path for him.
Harlem and Chris Eubank Jr are cousins.
Chris Eubank Jr is the son of former two-time world champion Chris Eubank Sr, and Harlem is the son of former boxer Simon Eubank - the brother of Eubank Sr.
Harlem has a unbeaten pro record of 18-0.
He has recorded six knock-out wins from those fights.
Chris Eubank Jr had said of his cousin: "We are very close and he's a new addition to Team Eubank and I wish him the very best.
He trains hard and I know he will put on a show.
"Harlem is a very slick fighter, good foot movement, good speed, one of those all-round fighters - he's good at everything.
"His only weakness is his inexperience but he will learn and it will get better of course.
"He's very exciting to watch. His first pro fight he got a first-round knockout, so he's a chip off the old block.
"He is definitely someone I would recommend watching."
