Boxing Fight Tonight: Josh Taylor vs. Jack Catterall Date, Time, Venue, PPV Price, Livestream, and Undercard Details

Two years after that controversial night in Glasgow, Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall would meet again. At the First Direct Arena in Leeds, the two light welterweights will circle back to close the argument, left pending following Taylor’s questionable split decision victory while defending the undisputed title. Much slammed, the match has since entered the pages of notoriety. For, in the eyes of those who saw the fight as well as the experts, Catterall had done enough to score a clear victory. He had knocked down Taylor in the eighth round. But, to all appearances, he completely outboxed the Scotsman. So, “the biggest robbery in British boxing history,” as former cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson reportedly termed the fight, definitely needed closure.

The match has already met with a few cancelations and subsequent postponements. First, it was fixed for February 2023. However, Josh Taylor’s injury resulted in the fight being called off. So April 27 was set as the next date. But like the previous instance, this time too, the fight had to be canceled. The Scottish boxer needed medical intervention for his eyes. Finally, it was decided that they would meet on May 25. Jack Catterall will enter the ring to avenge an unfair loss. It denied him the undisputed title. Let’s check out a few other details of the event unfolding in Leeds.

Josh Taylor vs. Jack Catterall: Undercard Details

Last year, in June, Josh Taylor decided to defend his WBO and the Ring belts from Teofimo Lopez. Unfortunately, the adventure backfired, as ‘The Takeover’ inflicted the first professional loss on the Commonwealth gold medalist. Jack Catterall, on the other hand, fought Darragh Foley for a regional title in May 2023. Four months later, he secured another victory, defeating Jorge Linares in a non-title fight. Per the available reports, odds favor the Lancastrian slightly over the Scotsman as they enter the fight.

The event will feature a fight for the vacant British cruiserweight title between Cheavon ‘C4’ Clarke (8-0-0) and Ellis Zorro (17-1-0). Montego Bay, Jamaica-born ‘C4 comes off a spectacular victory over Tommy McCarthy on January 27 this year. It fetched him the WBA inter-continental cruiserweight title. On the other hand, London-born Zorro may want to set his record straight following his first career loss to Jai Opetaia last year during the ‘Day of Reckoning’.

In the welterweight category, unbeaten Irishman Paddy “Real Deal’ Donovan (13-0-0) may try to continue his winning streak against Newcastle-born Lewis ‘Sandman’ Ritson (23-3-0). The latter returns to the ring after a year-long break following his defeat to Ohara Davies in March last year. Their ten-round bout will be for the WBA continental welterweight title (147 lbs.).

Another Irishman, Gary ‘The Diva’ Cully (17-1-0), will face Belgian Francesco Patera (29-4-0) for the WBA continental lightweight title (135 lbs.). The Irish southpaw remains a heavy favorite to win against his 31-year-old opponent, who suffered his third career loss at the hands of Keyshawn Davis last year.

The preliminary fights include a six-round super featherweight (130 lbs) duel between Giorgio Visioili from Surrey, United Kingdom (2-0-0) and Vienna-born Sergio ‘Xerxes’ Odabai (6-3-1). Then undefeated Englishman George Liddard (6-0-0) would be testing his skills against the 37-year-old Irish southpaw Graham ‘G-Train’ McCormack (9-3-1) for a 6-round middleweight fight (160 lbs.). Finally, from London, Emmanuel Buttigieg (3-0-0), who commenced his career last December, will meet Anas Isarti (4-2-0) from Belgium.
