The co-main event is a compelling domestic duel between Jack Catterall and Ekow Essuman, with the winner positioning themselves for major future opportunities. Another highlight sees top British prospect Adam Azim risking his undefeated record against the late-replacement challenger, Kurt Scoby.
Ahead of the grudge match, both main event fighters shared their mindsets. Chris Eubank Jr emphasised his activity, stating, "Consistency, staying active, that's always been a big part of how I've always been able to have longevity... I think next year we're going to have even bigger [fights]."
Conversely, Conor Benn spoke of a changed emotional approach, remarking, "I still don't like him, but I feel very differently now... to me he looks worried because he's clutching at straws to try and get me going, but I don't feel like that's me anymore." The stage is set for a dramatic conclusion to a stellar night of boxing in North London.
