Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall will look to settle old scores two years on from their first encounter when the pair go head-to-head in an all-British encounter at the First Direct Arena in Leeds, United Kingdom, this coming weekend.
The pair met in Glasgow back in February 2022, when then-undisputed light-welterweight champion Taylor controversially claimed a split-decision victory over his rival at the OVO Hydro in one of the defining bouts of modern British boxing.
The fallout has hung over both fighters since, and after Taylor lost his crown to Teofimo Lopez in New York last June by unanimous decision, the stage has now been set for the two men to put such ghosts to rest once and for all.
Catterall, in particular, will be looking to prove his mettle after the only loss of his professional career. He has recorded back-to-back wins since then in pursuit of this grudge match.
Elsewhere on the bill, Cheavon Clarke and Ellis Zorro meet in a cruiserweight bout, while Paddy Donovan and Lewis Ritson will square off in a welterweight contest, too, so how can you catch it all unfold? Below, GOAL brings you all the details that you will need to know about how to watch Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall fight this weekend.
