Overview
- David Papot defeated Harlem Eubank by unanimous decision on Saturday, July 18, 2026, with judges scoring 115-110, 113-111 and 115-109.
- The bout was a 12-round welterweight main event that was billed as valid for the vacant IBF international welterweight title.
- Gladius trialed AI-driven features on the DAZN live feed, providing real-time punch speed and power metrics and 360° AI-enhanced replays during the broadcast.
- Pre-fight markets were tight with bet365 listing Eubank around 11-10 and Papot 4-6 in some markets, a reflection of views that Papot’s 30-1-1 record and his recent outing with IBF champion Liam Paro made him a serious test.
- The loss is a setback for Eubank’s stated plan to move into the IBF top five and chase a world title while the non-pay-per-view DAZN broadcast gave broad exposure to both the result and the Gladius technology trial, which could shape future boxing coverage.
