Super middleweight prospect Niall Brown will take on a late substitute after his original opponent had to pull out of their November 21 fight.
Brown, 16-0 (6 KOs), was supposed to take on Darren Johnstone, 12-1 (3 KOs), in the co-feature bout underneath Harlem Eubank vs. Josh Wagner. But Johnstone has suffered an injury, according to Wasserman Boxing, which is promoting the show airing on Channel 5 in the U.K. from the Brighton Centre in England.
Brown’s new foe is Pierre Rosadini, 8-7-3 (0 KOs), who lacks in power but also has mostly demonstrated a good chin. Rosadini’s first six losses all went the distance; his seventh defeat, against prospect Jimmy Sains in January, came via seventh-round TKO.
Rosadini has won two straight since, taking a majority decision over previously unbeaten Mustapha Zaouche in a January rematch (Zaouche won their first bout in 2024 on points), and winning widely on the scorecards in October against the 10-13-2 Salim Ben Rejeb.
Brown’s wasn’t the only fight on the Eubank-Wagner undercard to be affected by an injury. According to Wasserman, heavyweight Matty Harris, 9-1 (6 KOs), is ill and had to pull out of a clash with Franklin Ignatius, 9-1-1 (1 KO).
