In his first fight since his controversial loss to Josh Taylor 15 months ago, super lightweight Jack Catterall (27-1, 13 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over Darragh Foley (22-5-1, 10 KOs) on Saturday night in the Lara-Wood co-feature at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. Catterall dropped Foley in round seven, then was deducted a point after Foley immediately popped right back up and Catterall hit him again. Catterall dropped Foley again in round nine. Scores were 99-88, 98-89, 97-90.
WBA female super welterweight champion Terri Harper (14-1-1, 6 KOs) outpointed Ivana Habazin (21-4, 7 KOs) over ten rounds by scores of 97-93, 98-92, 97-93.

Catterall is pure class
in the first few rounds it was a beauty to watch Catterrall, then he started throwing low blows, clinching, wrestling, what was that about? he was levels above Foley, he didn’t need to do all that crap
It’s funny you mention this Skunk, because after the Taylor wrestling match I was a little surprised to see that Catterall could actually box. However, he showed a little of his dirty nature later in the fight.
No matter whether we appreciate the style or not, he did show he’s a handful at 140. He deserves another shot.
Jack has a great boxing style he will be a good pugilist to keep watching as he develops more and more, In my opinion the best pure boxer out of the UK
