When the final bell rung at the end of Jack Catterall’s fight with Josh Taylor back in February, it should have been the best day of ‘El Gato’s’ life with endless opportunities ahead of him.Ian John Lewis scored the fight 114-111 in favour of Taylor and was subsequently downgraded by the British Boxing Board of Control
“I’ve never ducked a challenge in my career, and I’d be happy to fight Jack again, but it would have to be at welterweight. Jack is a great sportsman, a helluva fighter, and deserves every bit of the admiration he’s been receiving.”Taylor will be staying at 140 lbsIt’s safe to say Catterall did not take the news well, as he told talkSPORT, “I think Top Rank will have their narrative, for people who don’t know Top Rank have got both Zepeda and Josh and they’ll want to keep that fight in house.
“He said we would have a rematch at welterweight or a catchweight, but now he’s decided to stay at 140 lbs. The fans are calling for it, I’m calling for it, it’s an easy fight to be made, let’s get it on.” “I won the WBO European title back in 2014,” Catterall said, “In between that I’ve won the British title, but I’ve defended the WBO inter-continental title, which is linked to below the world title, I’ve defended that ten times.
