Taylor-Catterall II will stream live on DAZN and exclusively on ESPN+ in the U.S.
So, after a whole saga that’s been dragging for over two years, Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall are finally gonna throw down again. Yeah, you heard it right. They’re setting up the circus tent at the First Direct Arena in Leeds come April 27, and guess what? You can catch this live-action drama in the UK on DAZN and stateside on ESPN+, no less.
These two have been at each other’s throats since that chaotic night back in February 2022 at The OVO Hydro Arena in Glasgow. That’s when Taylor somehow walked away with his junior welterweight crown still on his head after a fight that had everyone yelling at their screens.
Taylor got his face rearranged a bit, getting slashed near his eye not once but twice, and even hit the deck in round 8. Meanwhile, Catterall got his wrist slapped for a bit of hugging action in round 10. Despite looking like he had the upper hand for most of the fight, Catterall ended up on the wrong side of the decision, and the fans went nuts.
After that circus, Taylor dropped his belts like hot potatoes, and Catterall vanished into the shadows, only to come back swinging against some heavy hitters and putting one of them into retirement.
Now, they’re gearing up for a rematch that’s got everyone on the edge of their seats. It’s not just about the belts this time; it’s personal, and both fighters are itching to settle the score.
Taylor’s out here claiming he’s never ducked a fight, especially not Catterall, accusing Jack of riding his coattails. He’s promising a beating come April 27. Meanwhile, Catterall’s been counting down the days, ready to put Taylor in his place once and for all.
Eddie Hearn’s pumped about getting this fight on the calendar, calling it the answer to British boxing fans’ prayers. And Bob Arum’s throwing his two cents in, hyping up the grudge match as the showdown to end all showdowns.
Keep your eyes peeled for ticket info; this is one fight night you won’t want to miss.
