Jack Catterall vs. Harlem Eubank Press Conference Quotes

Jack Catterall

“We could’ve come back, chose a different route, but these are the fights that excite me,” said Catterall. “The domestic clashes. This is what I’m here for. Like we said, Harlem is undefeated, he’s talented, he’s gonna come. I feel like quite a few years back I was in his position waiting for the opportunity, chomping at the bit. So this is his opportunity, but, I’m here Saturday to prove that I’ve still got it.”

“I believe so [that I’m on another level compared to Eubank]. I’ve worked so hard up until this point. We had a stinker in the last fight but I’ve doubled down. I’ve been training hard and I believe I’m levels above him.”

“More than ready,” said Eubank. “Sam [Jones, Catterall’s manager] said what he said, but, he’s got it wrong over and over again and this will be another occasion to add to that list. I’ve been training behind the scenes for 11 years working on the art form and I believe that I’m ready to go in there and show the world what I’m capable of up at world level.”

“I believe that this is the level that I’ve built myself to. This is the level that I was destined for. I came in the sport, I laced up the gloves because I wanted to become a world champion and I’ve spent my time in the sport crafting away to get to this point. Now is the chance for me to go in there and prove that [the] world championship for me is not too far away.”

Fight Prediction

Although Eubank has had stoppage wins in three of his last five bouts, he is not really a power puncher. Catterall is also someone who does not get many knockouts in his fights. When the pair clash on Saturday, they will most definitely go the distance. Expect Catterall to claim a unanimous decision in a fight that is low output. “El Gato” will win by simply being the busier of the two.
