Former undisputed super lightweight champion (up to 63.5 kg) Scot Josh Taylor (19-0, 13 KOs) will get the opportunity to prove superiority over Englishman Jack Catterall (25-1, 13 KOs) in a rematch.
As became known
boxing sceneTaylor’s promoter Bob Arum has scheduled a rematch between the boxers on November 26 in Glasgow, Scotland.
Recall that at the end of February of this year, Taylor, at that time the owner of all four prestigious division titles, entered the ring against the WBO mandatory challenger Catterall and with great difficulty won a controversial victory on points by a split decision of the judges. That fight also took place on Josh’s territory in Glasgow.
The Scot has since lost his WBA and WBC titles, which required him to fight his mandatory challengers.
At the same time, at first, Taylor was generally inclined to move to the welterweight category (up to 66.7 kg), but subsequently decided to remain at his current weight for the time being.
