Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall will lock horns for all the belts Saturday evening at OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, a short drive from Taylor’s hometown of Prestonpans.
On many of our social media posts, people have continuously asked one question during fight week–who is Jack Catterall?
Catterall recently provided some background on himself and the work he’s done as a professional up to this point.
As a +675 moneyline underdog, many people are considering Catterall a live dog.
“It was massive for me when I sparred Mayweather,” Catterall told ESPN.
“I kept being invited back and I soaked up every bit of experience sparring with such a great champion,” said Catterall. “I did about six weeks of sparring, I was one of ten sparring partners there three times a week for the Pacquiao fight. Some of the rounds were seven or eight minutes long and they don’t call it the ‘Dog House’ for nothing!”
Final Press Conference Quotes from Jack Catterall
“I’ve been mandatory for the WBO title. After waiting two years, I’ve got a chance now to capture the undisputed. I’ve not just come up here to make up the numbers. I’ve been waiting two years for this opportunity.”
“I think the respect has been there. Me and Josh know once the bell goes, the respect is out of the window. We can shake hands after. We’re going to punch each other’s heads in and that’s in.”
