Eubank vs. Uruzquieta Fight Card
Confirmed For March 31 At York Hall
Fans can look forward to an unbelievable night of action
when Harlem Eubank (16-0, 6 KOs) returns to London’s iconic
York Hall on Friday March 31 as the Brighton man looks to
continue his climb up the Super Lightweight rankings against
Mexico’s Christian Uruzquieta (21-5, 8 KOs), live and free
on Channel 5 in association with Infinitum Entertainment.
A stacked undercard at the legendary East End venue features
a fifty-fifty English Cruiserweight Title bout, a highlight
reel heavyweight, two huge German names plus a host of local
talent.
Former Southern Area Cruiserweight Champion, ‘Nightmare’
Nick Parpa (10-1, 6 KOs) will take on Middlesbrough’s
undefeated Michael Webster (7-0, 5 KOs) in an eagerly
anticipated English Cruiserweight Championship clash.
Parpa will be looking to pick up where he left off with a
win after ending things in the first round against Nicolas
Holcapfel in May 2023. Webster set up his British Title
opportunity by putting Erdogan Kadrija down twice in the
third round to claim a stoppage win in a one-sided contest
at the Newcastle Arena.
Rising Heavyweight star Matty Harris (4-0, 3 KOs) returns to
face Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Milos Veletic (2-2, 1 KO).
23-year-old Harris will look to build off the back of his
three consecutive first-round finishes in his last three
outings, with his most recent win coming against Jiri Surmaj
on the undercard of Eubank Jr vs. Smith on January 21 in
Manchester.
The IBO Continental Super Welterweight champion Abass Baraou
(12-1, 8 KOs) will hope to make his York Hall debut, and
second fight in Britain, a memorable one as he returns
having been out of the ring since March 2022. A statement
win could see one of Germany’s hottest prospects continue to
close the gap between himself and the top ten Super
Welterweights.
Another exciting German fighter joins the card in the form
of undefeated featherweight Sophie Alisch (8-0, 1 KO), who
will have to look for maturity beyond her 21 years as she
faces the hugely experienced Bec Connolly over six rounds.
Alisch will be eager to stamp her authority against a
fighter like Connolly, who has shared the ring with the
likes of Natasha Jonas and Ebanie Bridges.
Jesse Brandon (1-0) will be hoping to bring a similar
jubilant crowd that supported him at York Hall in his last
Super Lightweight outing in another four- round fight at the
historic venue. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of Brandon
will be Codie Smith, who makes his professional debut at
Featherweight against Italy’s Luca Genovese (4-19-5) in a
four-round contest.
The historic York Hall hosts an unbelievable night of
free-to-air action, headlined by Harlem Eubank as he faces
off against Christian Uruzquieta on Friday March 31 live on
Channel 5, in association with Infinitum Entertainment.
