Josh Taylor has been ordered to defend his super-lightweight world titles against Dominican boxer Alberto Puello amid the controversy surrounding his win against Jack Catterall. Last month, Taylor successfully defended his belts against Catterall but many felt the wrong decision was made by the judges.
It had almost seemed unanimous to everyone who had watched Catterall get the better of Taylor throughout the majority of the fight, that the Chorley boxer would be handed the victory. The challenger landed more significant strikes whilst also having a much better percentage of his jabs landed. He controlled the fight for the majority, and the result seemed to be assured when Taylor was docked a point.
However, Taylor was awarded the victory - leaving boxing fans across the globe in disgust. The result was the subject of an investigation by boxing authorities.
