Josh Taylor’s rematch with Jack Catterall is reportedly set to be announced soon.
Taylor held on to his undisputed super lightweight crown after he was handed a controversial decision at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro in front of a partisan home crowd. But he has since vacated his WBC, WBA and IBF belts in order to secure another bout with Catterall and now only holds the WBO belt.
The Tartan Tornado won by split decision last February. But the judges’ decision was met with a furious backlash after Chorley’s Catterall appeared to outbox Taylor to most onlookers, and even having him on the canvas wasn't enough to secure a win for the Englishman. Now he’s set to get another crack at the Prestonpans favourite. The Daily Mail reports that they’ll get it on again in early 2023 after agreeing terms on another fight. Promoter Ben Shalom is hopeful of making a public announcement at some point this week.
