Josh Taylor faces injury probe after rematch with Jack Catterall hits delay

Josh Taylor has been ordered by the WBO to prove that he has torn a tendon in his foot after once again postponing his rematch with Jack Catterall.

The super-lightweight world champion won a controversial decision against Catterall in Glasgow last year and the pair were due to return to the same arena for a rematch on March 4. However, he was forced to push the fight back as much as 12 weeks after suffering an injury which will require a lengthy recovery.

Their initial bout took place for the undisputed title at super-lightweight, but after Taylor took his time deliberating on what to do next, the other three governing bodies stripped him of his belts. Now, he could risk losing the fourth one after a letter was written to his promoter imploring him to prove the legitimacy of his injury.
