Harlem Eubank will return on July 18 at the Copper Box Arena in London, where he faces France’s David Papot in a 12-round welterweight bout promoted by Misfits Pro and broadcast on DAZN.
Eubank (22-1, 9 KOs) is coming off a points win over Josh Wagner, a victory that helped him bounce back from his technical decision loss to Jack Catterall. Now ranked No. 15 by the IBF at welterweight, Eubank gets another southpaw test as he continues trying to prove he belongs near that Catterall-level mix.

Papot (30-1-1, 5 KOs) brings experience and awkwardness into the fight. His only defeat came last year against Liam Paro over 12 rounds, and before that he stopped Wagner in seven rounds - the same Wagner who later went the full 10 with Eubank.
That shared opponent gives the matchup a little extra intrigue. Eubank handled Wagner, but Papot finished him, and the Frenchman’s southpaw style could ask different questions of the Brighton fighter.
