I know this won't be a popular choice among some but by the time this fight comes off Jack will have been the no1 contender for nearly 3 years. I think it will have a pretty good build up and will be a fun, good value albeit ultimately one sided fight. This one is for the fans that love their boxing, love their mrs and love a couple of pints..simple as.
Josh deserves this homecoming after what he has achieved in 18 fights. Whilst I'm sure Catterall will give 110% to upset the party, unless TTT gets' complacent it should be a clear win for Taylor - i'd guess a stoppage around 8/9.
It's not just a mando, Catterall was paid step-aside money to make the undisputed fight, on the provisio that he got a shot at the winner. So glad to see Josh (and mainly Arum) honoring that.
Please keep this in the Olympic spirit, will you?! It's Josh Taylor (Team GB) vs Jack Catterall (Team GB) in Great Britain, both going for the gold!
26-0 Ramirez 24-0 Prograis 19-0 Baranchyk 29-1 Postol 22-0 Martin 16-0 Khongsong 15-0 Davies 26-0 Catterall And the combined record of Taylor's last seven opponents (including Catterall) is 162-1 and he will still only have had 19 fights
