German junior welterweight Timo Schwarzkopf (22-5) is determined to defy the odds and ruin undefeated Harlem Eubank's homecoming in Brighton, England on Friday night, live and free-to-air on Channel 5. Eubank and Schwarzkopf headline a Wasserman Boxing show this week, with world class super middleweight Lerrone Richards back in action, as well as rising heavyweight Roman Fury. Dangerous Kazak Sultan Zaurbek continues to hunt a world title shot, there is the debut of international amateur star Tom Welland, and local hero Tommy Welch, the son of heavyweight favourite Scott, returns to the ring... plus many more fights. Brighton will turn out to support Harlem Eubank (18-0) - the first of his famous family to headline in their hometown since Chris Eubank Sr. in the early 1990s.

 

But Schwarzkopf, who already has a big-name British upset on his record, is ready to spoil the party. And the 6/1 underdog with Ladbrokes, has issued a warning to Eubank ahead of his arrival into Brighton tomorrow. "Eubank doesn't scare me," Schwarzkopf said. "Harlem, I am coming for you." That big name was ex-champ Junior Witter, whom Schwarzkopf beat in 2013.

 

At the final press conference, Schwarzkopf, age 32, is more confident than ever. "I am thankful for this chance to prove myself and to show what I can do. I am better than all of his previous opponents and I have fought better opponents in my career.  My last fight was against Miquel Vasquez, who is very strong.  Harlem's last opponent was not very good."
