Harlem Eubank will take on David Papot at the Copper Box Arena, London, on July 18 in a welterweight 12-rounder.
Papot, from France, represents a solid test for Eubank, 22-1 (9 KOs). Though the southpaw was outpointed last time out by Liam Paro over 12 rounds last year, he stopped Josh Wagner in seven rounds late in 2024. Wagner, of course, lasted the full 10 with Eubank 12 months later.
That points victory over Wagner saw Brighton, England's Eubank bounce back from a technical decision loss to Jack Catterall who, like Papot, is a southpaw. And it is at Catterall's level where Eubank, ranked 15th by the IBF at 147lbs, has long believed he belongs.
