Former WBA International Super Lightweight champion Tom Farrell (21-5, 5 KOs) takes on the unbeaten Harlem Eubank at York Hall on November 25^th. With the fight set to be live on Channel 5, Farrell looks to stop Eubank in his tracks and put his name into the public eye.

Back in June, ‘Fazza’ beat Olaide Fijabi in a tough contest, with the Scouse fighter doing enough to convince the judges that he had outpointed his opponent and has been training hard since in preparation for his upcoming bout.

Farrell has been in camp now for eight weeks and said, “we’ve had plenty of time in camp, it’s been a good solid camp. I’ve had plenty of sparring with likes of Sam Maxwell recently so it’s a good level of sparring.”

“I’ve had a look at Harlem of course to see what he does well and things we can work on but I’m not focussing too much on him. I’m focussing on being the best version of myself.”

That win over Fijabi in Liverpool took Farrell to a record of 21 wins and five losses. He feels his experience can get him the win and hand Eubank (15-0) the first loss of his professional career.

“I have plenty of experience. It’s my birthday next week and people think I’m 33 and I’m older but I feel young and fresh and that I can compete at a good level by honing in on my skills” he said.

Eubank has produced some strong performances during his unbeaten run, with a notable knockout in May with a notable knockout against Sean Dodd. He is continuing to show his growth and development of skills but this is going to be his toughest test yet.

Farrell has worked in high-pressure environments before, winning big world title fights against the likes of Ohara Davies has taught him valuable lessons that he will use to his advantage as he looks to end this unbeaten streak of Eubank’s.

“I’ve had more fights than him, done more rounds than him and had more big nights than him.”
When asked what will give him the edge over his opponent, he feels “he’s not fought anyone as tricky as me. I know he’s been the full 10 rounds before but it’s my job to push the pace, make him struggle, I don’t think anyone has done that yet.”

“There’s a lot of pressure heaped on him now. To stay unbeaten and keep his momentum going and it’s my job to keep the pressure on him.”

“I want to make him lose that 0.”

It is a star-studded night of boxing with the like of Liam Williams and former Team GB flyweight star Chloe Watson looking to showcase their skills before the main event.

“It’s a synonymous venue in the UK and even world boxing so it’s great to finally get to box there and even better to be top of the bill. For me it adds the extra incentive, also some pressure, but I have had nights like this before and I relish it and look to lap it all up” Farrell said.

A lot of the pre-fight conversation has been about Eubank, but this fight means a lot to Farrell too. “It is a great experience and great exposure. There have been millions of views on the show and it’s a great chance for me to put myself out there in the spotlight.”

“Beating a Eubank who is highly touted at the historic York Hall will put me right in the mix which I plan on taking with both hands” he said.

The fight may be taking place a long way from Farrell’s home city, but when you tune in you will still see a consortium of Scousers cheering on one of their own.

“I’ve got lots of fans coming down to watch me so it’s going to be a good fight. He’s a good lad but I am going to be victorious on the night and give those fans that are with me there and those back home the chance to celebrate.”

It is going to be a great night of high-level boxing with Farrell looking to take down Eubank and hand him his first loss in the main event. York Hall awaits this highly anticipated bout on Friday 25^th November, and it will be live on Channel 5.

*The York Hall event on November 25 will also provide a break in the boxing action for a live screening of the England vs USA FIFA World Cup game*

Harlem Eubank (15-0, 6 KOs) and Tom Farrell (21-5, 5 KOs) headline at the historic York Hall on a huge night for British boxing, Friday November 25. Liam ‘The Machine’ Williams (24-4-1, 18 KOs) looks to remind everyone of his Middleweight prowess against ‘The Bomber’ Nizar Trimech (9-3-2, 4 KOs) on an unbelievable night of action that also includes Ricky Hatton protégé and former Team GB Flyweight star Chloe Watson (3-0), and Sweden’s Lucy Wildheart (10-1, 4 KOs) as she makes a swift return to the ring at Featherweight at York Hall. Promoted by Wasserman Boxing in association with William Hill and Infinitum Entertainment, all the action will be shown live and free on Channel 5.

Unbeaten Brighton man Harlem Eubank (15-0, 6 KOs)  faces the former WBA International Super Lightweight champion Tom Farrell (21-5, 5 KOs) at London’s famous York Hall on Friday November 25, live on Channel 5. Eubank has produced some stunning performances on route to his clash with Farrell, with a notable knockout coming in London on May 13 where he convincingly dispatched the wily Sean ‘Masher’ Dodd within two rounds. It was another test passed with flying colours for Eubank, who was full of confidence as he kept his ‘0’ intact alongside his lofty ambitions. With each performance, Eubank continues to show his development and ever-growing intentions for bigger fights and bigger honours. The 28-year-old showed another side to both his mindset and skillset in Newcastle on June 30 against Eliot Chavez when his Mexican opponent was rightfully disqualified. After multiple punches once the bell signalled the end of the round, or a break had been called by referee Kenny Pringle, it was clear Eubank’s dominance had forced his opponent into such frustrations.     “Firstly, fighting at York Hall feels like home due to a lot of my early fights learning the craft taking place there and, historically, many great fighters have fought inside them four walls,” said Eubank. “Topping my own show feels like a huge moment for me, the next phase of my career is pushing towards the top of the division and showing the world what I can do. Success is when preparation meets opportunity, and I’m just looking seize every moment inside the ring.” The previous mention of the Sean Dodd knockout was a moment that the boxing scene witnessed a dangerous tool Eubank could call upon; his left hand. Such highlight knockouts can cause mania surrounding a boxer and increase the expectation that they will always be dishing out destructive finishes. Boxing comes first according to the composed Brighton man, who will look to lead with what he does best. “It’s all about going in there with a clear mind and not chasing the knockout but to look to box and create the opportunities. The opportunities present themselves naturally, and that’s where I will get the KO,” he said. “It’s all about fighting my fight, and if I do so I’ll get to show people another glimpse of my ability and the different components of my game. It’s about me focusing on performing to MY best.” “I’m still uncovering and developing a lot of my strengths – but I have good speed, tenacity and good IQ. There’s plenty more to uncover and show. I look at the strengths of my opponent, and how I can neutralise and negate their strongest attributes.” Liverpool’s Tom Farrell will provide plenty of fresh questions for Eubank to answer in a hotly anticipated Super Lightweight showdown, with both fighters brimming with confidence off the back of wins in their last bouts. Farrell defeated a potential Nigerian nightmare in Olaide Fijabi at the M&S Bank Arena Liverpool back on June 30 as he did enough to convince the judges when he outpointed his opponent in a hard fought contest, and is looking to get another win to halt the Eubank rise. “He’s undefeated and he’s promoted by Wasserman, so there’s a lot of pressure on him now. He’s going to be scared to lose his undefeated record, and I’ve got the experience on him with the amount of rounds I’ve banked during my career,” said Farrell. “I can box and I’m a natural fighter. He looks like a sharp boxer, who has started to punch a bit of late, but he does make mistakes. I think his lack of experience in tough fights will prove to be his downfall.” Farrell will be showing up incredibly game, knowing all the notoriety of being a Eubank adds extra hype around the event. It’s an opportunity to walk out with the headlines and take the baton from Eubank on his title pursuit. There have been many famous nights at the prestigious York Hall, and Farrell has every intention of adding this bout to the history books. ‘Fazza’ has already experienced some big fights against the likes of Ohara Davies, and knows the invaluable lessons learnt through high-pressure environments can give him the edge. “His name gives you a bit of a clue about his pedigree, being a Eubank means he comes from good stock where boxing runs through his veins. From what I have seen of him he looks like a good fighter,” said Farrell. “We’re fighting at arguably the most well-known fighting venue in the UK at York Hall, a place where fans know their boxing and my travelling faithful can enjoy another memorable night. I’m technically a veteran now so I’ve got to use that experience to my advantage.” One of Britain’s most respected fighters, Liam Williams (24-4-1, 18 KOs) is gearing up for another shot at the world title and is hoping for a big win London to set that up . Williams, from Wales, recovered from an early knockdown to push Demitrius Andrade all the way in a 2021 WBO world middleweight title fight. True to his nature, the former two-weight British champion returned to action in another huge clash, when he met Chris Eubank Junior in early 2022. Williams, who has a massive following in his homeland, shook off flash knockdowns early on to eat away at Eubank’s lead on the scorecards and fight back during the second half of the fight in Cardiff, before losing on points. Former Team GB talent Chloe Watson also features as she returns to ‘The home of Boxing’ when she enters York Hall. Watson (3-0) returns to the historic venue where she debuted back in November 2021, and will be looking to show how incredibly she’s progressed since then. Win number four in the paid ranks will be the only thing on her mind after winning on home soil in Merseyside in June, in what was her first six rounder against Fara El Bousairi. The Birkenhead boxer, who trains under the former light welterweight and welterweight world champion Ricky Hatton, will be expecting new levels of competition as she continues to rise through the Flyweight ranks. Sweden’s Lucy Wildheart (10-1, 4 KOs) joins a stacked York Hall card, as she looks to build on her five-fight winning streak to continue pushing towards a Featherweight title. Wildheart has not been shy about her goal of winning a championship belt since she turned professional in 2017, having consistently impressed only suffering one loss via a debateable split-decision result going against her. Wildheart continues to prove how hungry of a fighter she is as she eyes up a big win at York Hall having last fought on October 7, where she recorded her tenth professional with a six-round shut-out decision over Claudia Ferenczi in Rotherham. A similar performance could see the Featherweight, fighting out of Essex, step closer to her dream of becoming a world champion. “If you look for historic nights of boxing in this country, York Hall stands head and shoulders above most other places to put on a night of fighting action,” said Wasserman’s Head of Global Boxing, Kalle Sauerland. “You have one fighter who is undefeated in Harlem Eubank. If he can overcome a fighter such as Tom Farrell who has been in that ring with some top talent, then we know the next step for Harlem could be a big one. Whoever comes out of this incredible fight with their hand raised will surely assert themselves as the next Super Lightweight contender!” Wasserman Boxing and Infinitum Entertainment are proud to be partnering Future Dreams Breast Cancer Charity for the upcoming event at York Hall on Friday November 25 – “Nobody should face breast cancer alone.

Callum Smith defended his WBA Super Middleweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision over gritty challenger John Ryder at The Echo Arena in Smith’s hometown of Liverpool. England.

Smith had to dig down as Ryder made it a dog-fight and fought with a cut over his right eye.

Ryder, 167.4 lbs of Liverpool won by scores of 117-111 and 116-112 twice to raise his mark to 27-0. Ryder, 167.4 lbs of London is 28-5.

“I want the best names in the division and I’m not disrespecting John Ryder but there was no fear tonight,” Smith told Sky Sports afterwards.

“I didn’t believe John Ryder was good enough to beat me. There are fighters that I believe are good enough to beat me that don’t perform and that’s going to bring out the best in me. That’s what I want, I want the big names.

“I just want a big name, where if I turn up like tonight I’ll lose. That fear brings out the best performance in me, I feel I need that.”

“I thought that was harsh,” said Ryder. “I thought I forced the fight, he was just nicking rounds, if that. I thought I done enough to win that.

“I’ve lost for the British title three times, I’ve come back and fought for a world title against the world No 1. I think I’ve done more than enough to show I’m credible for this and I will come again.”

Chris Billam-Smith stopped Craig Glover in round five of their scheduled 12-round cruiserweight bout.

In round one, Glover was cut around the right eye. In round four, Billam-Smith dropped Glover with a combination to the head. In round five, it was a left from Billam-Smith that sent Glove down again.

Billam-Smith, 198.7 lbs of Bournemouth is 10-1 with nine knockouts. Glover, 198.3 lbs of Liverpool is 10-3.

Anthony Fowler won a 10-round unanimous decision over Harry Scarff in a super welterweight bout.

In round nine, Fowler landed a right hand that put Scarff down.

Fowler, 153.8 lbs of Liverpool won by scores of 98-91 on all cards, and is now 11-0. Scarff, 152.9 lbs of Derby is 8-1.

Tom Farrell insists that there will be no room for niceties when he steps in the ring with promotional stablemate and close friend Sean Dodd in a domestic Super-Lightweight battle at the M&S Bank Arena Liverpool on Saturday November 23, live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in the US.  Farrell (17-2, 5 KOs) is looking to land another title shot after he was outpointed by Philip Bowes in a clash for the Commonwealth crown at the M&S Bank Arena back in March and believes that a win over former Commonwealth Lightweight ruler Dodd will fire him into contention in 2020. “I think Masher was the last person that I had on my mind when I heard that I was going to be earmarked for this show,” said Farrell. “I had my eye on a decent fight to get the ball rolling and get me back in contention for 2020 but Masher didn’t really come into my mind. We’re good mates and there hasn’t been any animosity between us in the build-up but once the bell rings on Saturday our friendship goes out of the window.  “It’s a fight that we both had to take really. I had a disappointing loss last time I fought at the arena and I think this could be Masher’s last chance. You could described it as a must-win fight for the both of us. This is a fight that could steal the show, I’ve said that from the start. He’s always in good fights and so am I. It has all of the ingredients for a cracker.” Turning pro in September 2014, ‘Fazza’s’ sole title win came against Farid Hakimi in 2016 when he outpointed the Belgian over ten rounds to earn to WBA International title. He then lost his next title opportunity against controversial Hackney man Ohara Davies the following year before his loss to Bowes earlier this year.  The popular Liverpudlian hits the big 30 on Saturday and will be hoping to celebrate the milestone in style with a career-best win against Dodd that would set him up for a more fruitful 2020. “We know each other very well. I think I’ll have enough experience and enough quality on the night to come out and springboard myself back into contention and get my career back on a good path. The last 12 months have been a bit difficult for me and my career has stalled a little bit so this is a big chance for me to push on and get a title. “We’ll definitely be putting on a good show for the fans. I think there will be loads of us there. I always have a good crowd behind me and the Birkenhead faithful are always there for Masher. I’m one of the most liked lads in Liverpool fighting against one of the most liked lads in the UK in Masher Dodd. It’s a huge deal up here and I’m confident it won’t disappoint.” Farrell vs. Dodd is part of a huge night of action in Liverpool.  Main event sees Liverpool’s Callum Smith (26-0, 19 KOs) defend his WBA World, WBC Diamond and Ring Magazine Super-Middleweight titles against John Ryder (28-4, 16 KOs), Craig Glover (10-2, 8 KOs) takes on Chris Billam-Smith (9-1, 8 KOs) for the vacant Commonwealth Cruiserweight title, Anthony Fowler (10-1, 8 KOs) meets Harry Scarff (8-0, 1 KO) for the WBA International Super-Welterweight title, James Tennyson (25-3, 21 KOs) and Craig Evans (20-2-2, 3 KOs) square-off in a final eliminator for the British Lightweight title, Liverpool Light-Heavyweight talent Thomas Whittaker-Hart (3-0, 1 KO) aims to end his first year as a pro in style and Liverpool Super-Lightweight Marcus Molloy (1-0) and Skelmersdale Welterweight Tom Aitchson (1-0) both go for their second win in the pro ranks.

Tom Farrell will challenge Philip Bowes for the Commonwealth Super-Lightweight crown at The M&S Bank Arena Liverpool on March 30, live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in the US.

Farrell, 16-1, was last in title action in September 2017 when he lost out to Ohara Davies for the WBA International strap, and the popular Liverpudlian is itching to be involved in big title action again.

Leytonstone’s Bowes stopped Tanzanian Benson Nyilawila in two rounds to win the belt at York Hall over the weekend and the 34-year-old, trained by former British Champion Darren Hamilton and Leon McKenzie, is already targeting more titles at 140lbs.

“We’ve had our eyes on the Commonwealth title for a few weeks now as we knew Philip Bowes was going to be fighting for it,” said Bowes. “When we saw him win it in good fashion at the weekend we thought it’d be the perfect fight for us and I’m buzzing to get in there on March 30.

“Philip is a tricky opponent, he’s got a nice relaxed style and he’s going to be well-prepared on March 30. He’s going to be full of confidence coming off the back of a good win and I think it will be an exciting fight for the fans. I’ll probably be on early so it should be a strong start to the night.

“My loss to Ohara Davies was a bad night at the office for me. People that are close to me know what went wrong on that night and I’ve never made any excuses. I know that I wasn’t myself but I’ve had a good phase of rebuilding over the past year. I’ve got a fight in a couple of weeks just to get my sharpness back, I’m already feeling fit so it’s great that Liverpool show is another eight weeks off. I’m going to be in great shape come fight night.”

Bowes vs. Farrell is part of a huge night of action in Liverpool.
