Harlem Eubank Targets 2026 Title Shot as He Faces Josh Wagner in Brighton

The welterweight contender sees the home bout as a springboard toward a world-title bid early next year.

Overview

  • Eubank returns on Friday to face Canadian Josh Wagner at the Brighton Centre in a welterweight contest on home soil.
  • The 21-1 Brit is aiming to position himself for a world championship opportunity in early 2026 if he wins.
  • He frames the matchup as vital to reassert momentum after July’s technical-decision loss to Jack Catterall following an accidental clash of heads.
  • Eubank has voiced interest in a future welterweight fight with Conor Benn, describing it as a chance to claim family revenge.
