Josh Taylor insists he gave up three of his world title belts to put the record straight against bitter rival Jack Catterall when they face on Saturday, February 4.
The super Scot has sealed the deal to face the Englishman at Glasgow's Hydro following the Tartan Tornado's controversial points win earlier this year. Light welterweight king Taylor has held on to his WBO crown but released his IBF, WBA and WBC straps after opting for another Catterall showdown rather than taking mandatory defences.
The Tartan Tornado took flak after the first fight but is determined to end any debate over his reign with the foes expected to collide in Glasgow early in 2023. Taylor said: “I'm the champion, I still did have all the belts. I've let go of three of them to make this fight happen. I think it will most likely be back in Scotland, we're not really sure on the timeline but it's looking like it's going to be next. I've got absolutely no doubt that I can stop him and I've got absolutely no doubt that I'm going to beat him, and beat him really well this time. I'm going to really, really do a good number on him.
