Harlem Eubank is still willing to fight Adam Azim, even though their mooted contest fell through earlier this year.
The British rivals faced off in March and signed to fight, but Azim rolled his ankle, an injury which led to a series of postponements and eventually saw Eubank move on to other fights.
Eubank will now box Nurali Erdogan on Friday in Newcastle, but he remains open to boxing Azim next year.
“If the public wants to see them, I’m open to make the big fights whether it’s over here or the States. Between 140 and 147lbs they’re the hottest divisions out there,” Eubank told Sky Sports.
“There’s guys like Teofimo [Lopez], [Devin] Haney, the guys with the world titles over in America, the elite. They’re the guys we want to mix it with. If Adam’s up there as well, obviously we still want that fight.
“I’ve trained three times over for it already. That’s definitely an option but I’m going to be focused on Harlem Eubank marching towards world title opportunities at 147lbs and whoever’s in my way is going to be getting it.
“These are the type of fights that I want. The guys that are well respected and have shown what they can do.
“I’m ready to target the best guys in the division. Whatever fights can take me there, they’re the fights that I want.”
Eubank is highly motivated, to impress against Erdogan and position himself for big fights next year. It has been more than a year since he last boxed and the enforced hiatus from the ring has shifted his mindset too.
Azim and Barry McGuigan discuss domestic rival Dalton Smith and insist there is definitely no fear about a future British showdown
“It’s put a different hunger in me, when you’re in the gym, grinding in the trenches and you don’t get a chance to put on a show, to put on a statement you’ve been preparing for, it gives you a different type of hunger,” he said.
“It’s a dream I started out with. I came into the sport and I had world title ambition. That’s what’s given me the drive to live the life for the last 11, 12 years. So now it’s getting close. Now I’ve refined my skillset, I’ve learned the craft to the point where I’m ready for those opportunities.
“I believe those dreams aren’t too far away now and I have a different level of hunger and desire to go and achieve those dreams.”

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has called “outstanding person” Rodrigo Bentancur an “unbelievable team-mate” and supported Spurs’ decision to appeal the length of his seven-match suspension for a racist remark about captain Heung-Min Son.
Bentancur has been sanctioned over comments he made in an interview aired on Uruguayan TV in June.
The 27-year-old was also fined £100,000 by the Football Association as part of the punishment.
Spurs said in a statement that they “accept the guilty finding” against Bentancur, but “believe the subsequent sanction is severe”.
Sky Sports’ reporter Paul Gilmour explains why the Football Association gave Bentancur a seven-game ban and £100,000 fine
When asked how big a blow Bentancur’s absence would be, Postecoglou said during an exclusive interview with Sky Sports: “It’s disappointing because he’s been great for us this year.
“He’s one of the ones whose football has gone up a level. But we understood this was kind of coming and there was an acceptance from everyone that whatever the sort of penalties were… I fully support the club’s decision to appeal the severity of the ban, but ultimately we know it’s going to be for X number of games.
“We will work with Rodrigo through that and make sure within that time he has all our support in all the right ways so when he is available again he’s ready to go.
“I haven’t spoken to him since it came out. He’s been away with Uruguay and he’s not quite back yet. I’d spoken to him in the lead-up to it. As I said at the time, he understands he has made a mistake, he’s prepared to accept whatever penalty comes his way and we as a club are going to support him.
Darren Lewis, assistant editor of The Mirror, suggests Heung-Min Son’s support of Bentancur does not change the fact he used a racial slur and football needs to show zero tolerance and uphold the seven-game ban
“The one thing that’s undeniable to me, because I know him, is he’s an outstanding person. He’s an unbelievable team-mate. He’s a person of the upmost character that has made a mistake. I think when that happens our role is to support him in any way we can.”
The former Juventus midfielder was asked to show the shirt of a Spurs player and replied: “Sonny’s? It could be Sonny’s cousin too as they all look the same.”
While an apology from Bentancur was swiftly forthcoming, due to this being an “aggravated breach”, an independent regulatory commission panel were required to either uphold the FA charge or dismiss the case.
Son said he and Bentancur remained “brothers” and “nothing had changed” after the Uruguayan immediately apologised to him, admitting he had “made a mistake”.

For years, Cuyahoga County has offered little help to people before releasing them from one of the worst jails in Ohio.
That will end next month.
A revamped reentry program to assist people as they leave the jail is being finalized by Cuyahoga County Sheriff Harold Pretel and other top leaders. The program will connect people with basic needs, including housing, employment, health care and other services.
The change comes a year after The Marshall Project – Cleveland detailed how the sheriff’s department offered no reentry assistance to men and women before they left the jail.
“This is a step in the right direction,” said Evan O’Reilly, a spokesperson for the Cuyahoga County Jail Coalition, a group advocating for change in the county justice system.
“Cutting people loose with no assistance is not good.”
The move for enhanced reentry services has spread across the state since Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Sharon L. Kennedy formed the Supreme Court of Ohio Reentry Task Force in April 2023.
In September, the task force released a 140-page report with more than a dozen recommendations, concluding that “reentry programs are essential to help returning citizens become productive members of society.”
Counties like Lorain and Franklin — which includes the state capital of Columbus — have reentry offices designed to connect people to providers for key services that include health care, transportation and housing. The assistance is offered before a person’s release.
County sheriffs across Ohio have offered reentry services for years, and many advocates believe such programs help decrease the likelihood of repeat offenses.
The Cuyahoga County Jail, one of the state’s largest, with about 1,600 individuals housed each day, has been mired for years with numerous deaths and reports of inhumane conditions in the decrepit facility.
News 5 has chronicled the problems of “abuse, suicides, lawsuits, accidental releases, and leadership issues” over the years.
Pretel, who has been sheriff for about 18 months, said the department’s responsibility extends beyond public safety.
“We also must prepare the people in our custody for a successful return to their communities, helping them become better neighbors and family members,” Pretel said in a statement.
“By working closely with the Office of Reentry, our new (reentry) program will provide people with the tools and resources to rebuild their lives and find stable employment, secure affordable housing and access other essential services.”
After reading The Marshall Project – Cleveland article, Pretel said he and other top deputies toured numerous jails in Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee to learn about how the facilities offer reentry services.
The county plans to build a new jail in Garfield Heights, and Pretel and other top officials said reentry services will be incorporated into the facility’s design to ensure the program’s permanency.
Cuyahoga County doesn’t have reentry workers in the jail, but it does operate an Office of Reentry located on Fulton Parkway — about six miles from the county jail in downtown Cleveland.
The office doesn’t conduct outreach or meet directly with people leaving jail. It functions as a funding source for community groups, which offer help to people leaving the jail.
Two of the office’s eight staffers are being trained by the state to work as “reentry resource navigators” by the end of December, said Simeon Best, director of the Office of Reentry.
Initially, the reentry services in the jail will focus on two groups: people nearing the end of their sentence and those who frequently cycle through the jail doors, Best said. They will also focus on getting military veterans connected to services.
The tours at other jails helped inform Cuyahoga County on how it approaches reentry services, Best said. Officials learned that every person has a different reentry need, he said.
“Some people are not going to even want help,” Best said. “This isn’t simple like 1, 2, 3. It’s going to take a lot of time and effort.”
Laurel Diaz, the county’s justice and health equity officer, said the jail houses hundreds of repeat offenders.
About 300 people have been booked into the jail at least eight times each in the past three years, she said. These individuals have a higher percentage of substance abuse and mental health disorders, Diaz said.
“Together, our goal is to break the cycle of recidivism, create pathways to success and address the root issues that often lead to re-incarceration,” Pretel’s statement said.
With an absence of reentry services, Cuyahoga County’s Office of Public Defender has worked to fill the void by collecting donations to provide basic needs such as hygiene products and clothing.
The office has also printed fliers with information about housing, mental health, substance abuse and other resources for anyone passing through the release desk at the jail. Two other groups are now passing out bus passes and Narcan kits to help prevent overdose deaths.
Ashley Stebbins, the county’s deputy chief public defender, said a gap has long existed in providing reentry services for those struggling with basic needs.
“We hope that we can work with them as they get into place over the next few weeks and months,” Stebbins said.
