Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall are finally set to settle their rivalry tonight, over two years after one of the most controversial fights in recent memory.
Taylor, fighting in his native Scotland, won a split decision against Catterall in February 2022, with most observers saying the Englishman was denied a rightful victory in Glasgow.
The result kept Taylor undefeated and saw him retain the undisputed super-lightweight titles, while Catterall was beaten for the first time as a professional.
Taylor has since lost his zero, suffering a comprehensive defeat by Teofimo Lopez last year – which cost him his final world title, after he vacated and was stripped of his others. Meanwhile, Catterall has scored two wins en route to this rematch, which was set for April but was delayed – not for the first time – when Taylor picked up an injury.
