Josh Taylor vs. Jack Catterall
Taylor has said that he has respect for Catterall, but that Catterall just isn’t good enough. "He's a good fighter, I've got a lot of respect for Jack.” Taylor said to the media, "But he will come up short. He will taste his first defeat as a professional. He's a good fighter.
