Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall LIVE: Fight stream, latest updates and result tonight
Follow round-by-round updates from the main event and undercard, plus all fight results
Josh Taylor is set to be cheered on by a passionate crowd at the OVO Hydro arena this evening, as the Scot defends his super-lightweight titles against England’s Jack Catterall.
Taylor, the first ever Briton to achieve undisputed champion status in the weight class, will also put his undefeated record on the line here, though Catterall is also unbeaten – with more bouts to his name than his opponent. Taylor (18-0, 13 knockouts) last fought in May when he achieved a unanimous-decision win against Jose Carlos Ramirez to become undisputed title holder. Meanwhile, Catterall (26-0, 13 KOs) has been holding out for this clash with Taylor, biding his time since a points victory over Abderrazak Houya in November 2020. Catterall was patient in the hope that Taylor would be holding all the belts by the time he was finally paired against the Scot.
It proved a wise decision by the Lancashire fighter, who is the underdog here but added some intrigue to this evening’s headline bout by putting his hand around Taylor’s neck at yesterday’s weigh-in, eliciting a furious response from the 31-year-old. Follow live updates and results from Taylor vs Catterall and all of tonight’s fights, below.
Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
Speaking about his feelings around fighting in front of a home crowd this evening, Josh Taylor said earlier this week:
“I will be more fired up, more alive and more electric, more butterflies in the stomach, that little bit of nerves that you need to keep you on your toes.
“It hasn’t really been like that in the last couple of years because I haven’t been fighting in front of anybody. I boxed in the York Hall and defended my title, mandatory and it was really hard to get up for it.
“Having this buzz of this arena, it keeps me alive and I can’t wait.”
