Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall have waited over two years to settle their grudge, and Saturday will finally bring closure – barring any last-minute controversies.
Scotland’s Taylor was fighting on home turf when he won a hotly-contested decision against Catterall in February 2022, with most observers saying the Englishman was hard done by.
A rematch has been delayed multiple times, most recently ahead of a planned April date, when Taylor suffered an injury. But the Scot and Catterall are finally due to clash again on Saturday.
Since their first fight, Taylor has fought and lost once, dropping his final world title to Teofimo Lopez last year – after vacating and being stripped of his other belts. Meanwhile, Catterall has picked up two wins.
