JOSH TAYLOR has finally granted Jack Catterall his wish – a massive grudge rematch two years after their first fight.
Taylor and Catterall fought for the undisputed super-lightweight in February 2022, with the former retaining his titles.
The decision was a hugely controversial one, however, as pretty much every fan and pundit watching scored the fight for Catterall, who lost out on a split decision.
The Englishman even knocked Taylor down halfway through the fight, and both men had a point deducted.
Catterall stormed out of the ring after the decision, feeling robbed of his dream to win the undisputed titles.
But now he’ll get his chance for revenge, albeit without the belts on the line, with Taylor having relinquished or lost them since the win over Catterall.
