Joe Cordina and Skye Nicolson added to Catterall-Eubank card

Jack Catterall vs Harlem Eubank undercard will have two former world champions and Olympians on the bill at Manchester’s AO Arena on Saturday July 5, live on DAZN .

Former IBF world super-featherweight champion and Rio 2016 Olympian Joe Cordina, and ex-WBC featherweight titlist and Tokyo 2020 Olympics quarter-finalist Skye Nicolson are both back in action.

33-year-old Welshman Joe Cordina (17-1, 9 KOs) is fighting for the first time since his loss to Irishman Anthony Cacace in May 2024.

The Cardiff man challenges for the WBO Global lightweight belt against hard-hitting Mexican Jaret Gonzalez Quiroz (17-1, 13 KOs) in the Brit's first foray up at 135.

The two-time world champion will begin his campaign to become a two-weight world champion, where the WBO world lightweight title is currently vacant.

Aussie star Syke Nicolson (12-1, 1 KOs) also attempts to bounce back from defeat, but the 29-year-old southpaw will continue to campaign at featherweight, where she ruled as the WBC champion for almost a full year between April 2024 to March 2025.

The Queensland combatant was upset in her homecoming earlier this year, losing a very narrow split decision to unbeaten American, Tiara Brown.

World title challenger Jack Catterall will look to return to winning ways when he takes on undefeated domestic welterweight rival Harlem Eubank in the Manchester main event.

Chorley’s Catterall (30-2, 13 KOs) makes the move up to 147lbs following his split decision defeat to the USA’s Arnold Barboza Jr in their interim WBO super-lightweight world title clash in February.

Brighton’s Eubank (21-0, 9 KOs) is yet to taste defeat since joining the pro ranks back in 2017, and last time out, the 31-year-old stopped Belfast’s Tyron McKenna in nine rounds to pick up the IBF Intercontinental title in March.

Top-rated cruiserweight Pat Brown (1-0, 1 KO) is back in the ring three months on from his highly-anticipated pro bow in March, which ended in a fourth-round KO for the Paris 2024 Olympian.

Also on the card, Oldham's Aqib Fiaz (13-1, 2 KOs) takes on the experienced Mancunian Michael Gomez Jr (21-2, 6 KOs) over 10-rounds at super-featherweight. Both boxers share a stoppage loss to reigning British and Commonwealth champion Reece Bellotti.

Rising super-welterweight star William Crolla (8-0, 6 KOs) takes on his toughest opponent yet in two-weight Scottish Area champion Fraser Wilkinson (11-2, 2 KOs).

Leo Atang makes his pro debut, and 21-year-old Alfie Middlemiss (3-0) returns to his home city for a third time in a row against an opponent yet to be confirmed.
