    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.

    So does this serve as a mandatory defence?

    Yeah I believe it will be.

    WBO ordered it back last year when Ramirez still held it.

    If its a mandatory then fair enough. Otherwise its a poor fight.

    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.

    Taylor could fight three pies in a row and I wouldn't be mad.

    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
