HARLEM EUBANK will be hoping to make his boxing family proud when he squares up against Josh Wagner in a huge homecoming bout this month.
The nephew of legend Chris Eubank Sr lost his unbeaten record last time out at the hands of fellow Brit Jack Catterall.
An accidental horror clash of heads caused a big cut above Eubank’s eye which forced the fight to be decided after seven rounds.
And as a result, the judges gave the technical victory to Catterall, putting a huge dent in world title hopes after moving up to 147lbs.
But Eubank is back with a chip on his shoulder determined to return to winning ways – just six days after his cousin Chris Eubank Jr’s blockbuster rematch against Conor Benn.
However, opponent Wagner boasts an impressive record of 19-1 and believes Harlem made a mistake to pick him for a comeback battle.
