Harlem Eubank makes his long-awaited return to the ring on Saturday after 12 months of inaction.
The 31-year-old impressively stopped Timo Schwarzkopf at the Brighton Centre in his last appearance. Since then, he has seen several promising domestic match-ups fall through. 'It's certainly not ideal. I was gaining momentum after a statement win, ready to go after titles and test myself again,' Eubank told Sky Sports.
Although his uncle is still involved, he has taken a step back. 'It's a backseat role compared to the last fight. He's always involved in some capacity and is a big supporter of mine. He's always there at the end of a call and will always give me advice,' he said. This fight will mark Eubank's debut at welterweight, but he does not believe that means the Azim fight is off the table.
