Former undisputed super lightweight champion Josh Taylor and archrival Jack Catterall had to be separated during their face-off at the launch press conference ahead of their grudge rematch on April 27 at the First Direct Arena in Leeds, England.
The sworn enemies have been embroiled in a heated war of words since February 2022 when Taylor won a hugely controversial split decision to retain his then-undisputed 140lb crown. The decision caused outrage among some boxing fans and the two have been at loggerheads ever since.
The absurd veredict in the first fight ruined Catteral boxin career, because it could have been for him somenthing similar to what happened to George Kambosos, now not a chance to have that whatsoever.
Many fighters have ‘recovered’ from bad decsions. At least he has an opportunity to avenge the ‘loss’.
Taylor didn’t appear at all good for some reason at this press conference. Looked like someone who has been drinking far too much. Suspect Catteral may beat him this time
This is one of those better-late-than-never fights and should be Catterall’s to lose because his preparation and motivation must exceed that of his opponent. Some boxers never get a chance at revenge and this will be his moment.
This one is getting ‘spicy’ and I’m looking forward to it. Genuine animosity.
Did anyone actually see this fight well I did and it sucked the Cantrell guy did nothing but hold they should have taken at lease 3 points from him somebody watch and comment on it…. Iam a boxing fan but alot people probably not interested see them anyway.
