The all British affair for the unified junior Welterweight championship between the Champion, Scotland’s Josh Taylor 18-0 (13 Ko’s) and the challenger Jack Catterall of Lancashire 26-0 (13 Ko’s) originally scheduled for December 18th at the Hydro Arena in Glasgow has postponed due to the champion suffering a knee injury in training.
Catterall won the British super lightweight title in 2017 then propelled himself to a WBO world ranking in 2019 with wins over Tyrone McKenna and Ohara Davies. The Lancashire man last boxed in November winning a 10 round decision over Abderrazak Houya.
Taylor began to accumulate his world championships in 2019 when he collected the IBF title from Ivan Baranchyk, adding the WBA Super belt 5 months later when he decisioned Regis Prograis. Josh would complete the set by adding both the WBC and WBO titles last May, decisioning Jose Ramirez in Las Vegas. Taylor v Catterall has been rescheduled for Saturday February 26th at the same arena in Glasgow.
