UNDEFEATED welterweight Harlem Eubank's next fight is the biggest test of his flawless career so far.
He's taking on "The Mighty Celt" Tyrone McKenna at the Brighton Centre on Friday, March 7, 2025.
Harlem Eubank was born in Brighton on February 23, 1993.
He competes in the welterweight 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.
In 2017, he told the Brighton Argus: "Having the name has always put more pressure on from the beginning.
"Everyone wants to fight the hardest against you and everyone wants to beat you which just makes every fight tougher.
"That is a good thing, though, because you get the best of every opponent so it is improving your game."
Harlem and Chris Eubank Jr are cousins.
Chris Eubank Jr is the son of former two-time world champion Chris Eubank Sr.
Harlem is the son of former boxer Simon Eubank — the brother of Eubank Sr.
Harlem has an unbeaten pro record of 20-0-0.
This means he has won all 20 of his fights so far, drawing and losing none.
He has recorded eight knock-out wins from those fights, giving him a KO ratio of 40%.
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."
