Taylor vs Catterall preview
Josh “The Tartan Tornado” Taylor (18-0) is the undisputed light-welterweight champion of the world and now this Scottish native is ready for his homecoming fight after winning all the belts. Taylor’s road to undisputed began in the World Boxing Super Series in 2018-2019. He won the IBF light-welterweight first by beating Ivan Baranchyk in the 2019 semifinals. Then he fought Regis Prograis in the finals of the Super Series, considered by many to be the fight of the year in 2019. Taylor won a majority decision over Prograis and the WBA & The Ring titles, although many considered it to be a razor thin fight that could have gone either way.
Taylor used win over Prograis as a springboard to even bigger things. In May of last year, he fought a huge unification fight against Jose Ramirez in Las Vegas, with the winner emerging as the undisputed champion. While the judges scoring was close, Taylor looked to be in control most of the fight, including scoring multiple knockdowns of Ramirez. Now he heads home to fight in front of Scotland fight fans, who will celebrate him as only the second undisputed Scottish boxing champion.
Jack “El Gato” Catterall (26-0) is an undefeated light-welterweight boxer from Lancashire, England, and he is the mandatory challenger for Taylor’s titles. Catterall turned pro in 2012 after a long run in the amateur ranks and he quickly picked up attention around England. Within two years he won his first regional titles. Since then he has won a British title and an Inter-Continental title. Catterall has been a mandatory title challenger for over two years, but he’s taken other fights while waiting his turn for a proper shot. During that time, the title changed hands but Catterall stayed focused and now gets a chance to win not just the WBO belt but all four world titles.
Josh Taylor is an overwhelming -1775 favorite to win this fight.
