By: Sean Crose The two men had met before. Back in 2022, Jack Catterall and Josh Taylor met in Scotland and fought a close, if not thrilling, twelve round battle for the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO junior welterweight titles. Taylor ended up walking out of the ring that night with the four belts and
TWICE now ringside judges have tarnished Jack Catterall’s night, albeit in two very different ways.
