Harlem Eubank moves up to welterweight this Friday when he takes on Nurali Erdogan at the Walker Activity Dome in Newcastle.
Kalle Sauerland's Aquarius Promote boxing while Channel 5 Stream Eubank vs Erdogan live in the UK.
Eubank (19-0, 8 KOs) has made gradual progress since 2022, where he fought four times, including an impressive second-round knockout of Sean “Masher” Dodd.
There have been three fights in 2023 for the Brightonian and after a high points win over Miguel Cesario Antin, he stopped Ishmael Ellis in seven in July.
Eubank then rounded off the year with the best performance of his career in his first scheduled twelve-round tournament, outclassing Timo Shwarzkopf and dropping the German twice en route to one penultimate lap break This earned him the vacant WBO super lightweight world title.
Making his debut at 147 pounds is a safe bet as Erdogan (16-3, 1 KO) is not a known puncher and only has one early win on his record. The Frenchman has lost three of his last seven matches, most recently in a split decision loss to unbeaten Faizan Anwar in Abu Dhabi in May.
Prediction: Eubank should adapt more easily to the new weighting and I expect him to win in a landslide according to the scorecards.
