Jack Catterall has always done his talking in the ring. For the boxing purists, that has been enough. Sure, if you’re hungry for a finish, you likely won’t find it in a Catterall fight – it has been five years since his last knockout – but if you’re satiated by in-ring intelligence and crisp technique, you can feast on Saturday.
As Catterall prepares to face Arnold Barboza Jr in an interim world-title fight, the Chorley boxer has been typically light on trash talk. Except, in a strange twist, against himself.
