      Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall 2: UK start time, live stream, TV channel for huge grudge rematch in Leeds

      by

      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. Josh Taylor beat Jack Catterall in their first fight but was largely outboxed throughoutCredit: Kenny RamsayThe 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. When is Taylor vs Catterall 2?
      Taylor’s massive rematch with Catterall will take place on Saturday, May 25.
      It was originally scheduled for April 27, but an issue with Taylor’s eye pushed the fight back a month.
      The fight will be held at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.
      Expect main event ring-walks to get going at around 10.30pm UK time.
      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?
      Taylor vs Catterall 2 will be shown live on DAZN in the UK as part of your subscription.
