British boxer Harlem Eubank has revealed ambitious plans for his professional boxing career, with a potential showdown against Adam Azim in 2025 as a highlight. Speaking in a recent interview with Sky Sports, Eubank emphasized his readiness to take on the biggest names in the sport while making a strong debut in the welterweight division this Friday, November 22.
Eubank’s return to the ring will see him face Nurali Erdogan at the Walker Activity Dome in Newcastle, United Kingdom. This marks a significant step in his career as he transitions into the highly competitive 147-pound division.
Eubank vs. Azim: A Delayed Rivalry
Eubank and Azim were initially set to face off earlier this year, but the bout was postponed due to an ankle injury sustained by Azim. The delay forced Eubank to explore other opportunities, but he remains optimistic about a future matchup.
“If the public wants to see them, I’m open to make the big fights,” Eubank stated during his Sky Sports interview, underscoring his commitment to delivering exciting clashes for boxing fans.
Ambitions Beyond Azim
While the potential fight with Azim is a focal point, Eubank has broader aspirations. He has expressed interest in facing international stars like Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, and Teófimo López, aiming to compete against the elite in boxing’s hottest weight classes.
“There’s guys like Teofimo [Lopez], [Devin] Haney, the guys with the world titles over in America, the elite. They’re the guys we want to mix it with. If Adam’s up there as well, obviously we still want that fight,” Eubank affirmed.
Refocused and Resilient
Eubank’s return to the ring comes after a year-long hiatus, which he credits with transforming his mindset and sharpening his skills. The forced break, though challenging, has reignited his hunger for success.
“The 140 to 147-pound divisions are the hottest out there,” Eubank said, highlighting the competitive landscape he is eager to navigate.
His fight against Erdogan represents not just a comeback but a statement of intent as he positions himself for major opportunities in 2025.
Friday’s Fight: A Stepping Stone to Bigger Battles
Eubank’s clash with Erdogan will be a crucial test of his readiness for the welterweight division. A convincing victory could open doors to high-profile matchups, including the much-anticipated showdown with Azim.
As Eubank continues to refine his craft, his focus remains on climbing the ranks and earning a shot at a world title. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this talented fighter fares in his latest chapter.
