Harlem Eubank has his sights set on moving up to welterweight following his win over Timo Schwarzkopf on Friday night.
Eubank impressed in his performance at the Brighton Centre knocking down the German in round three before landing a right hook in the eleventh which stopped the fight.
With three back-to-back wins in 2023, Eubank has laid the foundations for what could be an exciting 2024, and speaking to Channel 5 after his win, he teased a move up in weight and a possible meeting with British rival Conor Benn.
"That’s what I want next," Eubank responded when asked about facing Benn.
"I’ve shown what I can do in there against a guy of Timo’s level, he’s never been stopped.
"I’m coming up to 147, Conor Benn, he’s first on my hit list."
Eubank will have to wait however for a shot at Benn with the latter set to face Chris Eubank Jr. in a huge fight early next year.
