Harlem Eubank looks to edge closer to a world title shot when he faces David Papot for the vacant IBF International welterweight title in London on Saturday.
Eubank (22-1, 9 KOs) takes on Papot (30-1-1, 5 KOs) at the Copper Box Arena, live on DAZN.
The Brighton man suffered a first professional defat last July, losing on a technical decision to Jack Catterall following an accidental head clash.
The 32-year-old got back to winning ways in November, dominating Josh Wagner by decision and is ranked at 14 by the IBF.
Papot knocked out Wagner in 2024 and pushed newly-crowned IBF welterweight titlist, Liam Paro close in a points loss last September.
The French southpaw hasn’t fought since defeat to Paro, but is a slight favourite with the bookmakers to defeat the Brit.
Prediction: Eubank should prove slightly too fresh for Papot and can take a tight points win.
Molloy meets Noakes
Kieran Molloy makes a first defence of his IBF European welterweight title against fellow unbeaten contender, Sean Noakes.
Molloy (14-0, 7 KOs) captured the vacant crown with a unanimous decision win over Xavier Kohlen in March.

Noakes (12-0, 5 KOs), the older brother of former world title challenger, Sam, relinquished his English welterweight title after two defences and is undefeated in 12 professional bouts.
Prediction: Molloy can snap Noakes’ undefeated record on points.
Remaining Undercard
Aaron Prospere (15-2, 4 KOs) can capture the vacant English super lightweight title with a decision win over Mikey Sakyi (14-5, 5 KOs).
In the remaining title fight, Finley James (9-0) can become the new Southern Area welterweight champion on points against Jake Henty (9-0, 2 KOs).
Middleweight Joel Bartell (10-1, 5 KOs) should outpoint Kyran Jones (14-0, 1 KO) and Codie Smith (9-0-1, 1 KO) can do the same against Ryan Griffiths (8-2-3) at super featherweight.
