Harlem shake
Harlem Eubank is looking to shake the room once again and dismantle his French opponent Nurali Erdogan.

Pattinson’s huge return
Elsewhere later on tonight to look forward to… Newcastle welterweight Cyrus Pattinson ends a 15-month layoff, one he thought a serious eye injury could spell retirement, against Estonian-born Russian hopeful Andrei Antonov.
In an exclusive interview he did on the eve of this return, Pattinson put things into perspective with Sky’s John Dennen
Pattinson said:” Boxing, training and exercise has been a massive thing for me all my life. When that’s taken away… It’s like a car without wheels. A massive part of my identity, this [recovery] has been the hardest fight of my life, it feels like my debut all over again.”
Pattinson alternated wins and losses last year against Chris Jenkins and an inspired Conah Walker showing so while this is a relatively light touch on his return, a statement showing could move the needle.
Ingram’s interesting story
I’ve seen a lot of love for US hopeful J’Hon Ingram in videos and general media this week, an unknown quantity on these shores considering he hasn’t really kicked on since his pro debut in February 2022.
That’s in part due to an inactive spell under the Floyd Mayweather Promotions banner that has reached its conclusion as well as a co-promotional deal with Misfits granting him permission to box tonight. Given they’re different disciplines in the same field, surely it’d make sense to stick to one?
24 and the latest making their maiden appearance across the pond, he went the six-round distance (60-54) against Jonatas Rodrigo Gomes de Oliveira, another former Barney-Smith opponent. One to monitor, even if the jury’s still out…
