Jack Catterall and Josh Taylor do not like one another one bit. Both will look to settle their differences when they face off in an anticipated non-title rematch.
Catterall lost to Taylor in 2022 for undisputed lightweight gold despite the latter going down in the eighth and both getting deducted a point. It was considered a controversial scoring decision that has had Catterall seething since. “El Gato” has called for a rematch, while fights with Taylor never materialized due to unfortunate injuries.

The Lancashire-born Catterall has since won two straight, with his last fight being a decision win against Jorge Linares. Injuries affected Taylor's career, and he got stripped of several belts before losing the rest of his gold against Teofimo Lopez. Initially meant for April, the fight got moved one month.
The co-feature will see Cheavon Clarke vs. Ellis Zorro for the vacant British cruiserweight title. The Jamaican-born Clarke has won six fights via knockout and looks to go 2-0 in 2024. Zorro has seven wins via the power punch. The 31-year-old is coming off a loss against Jai Opetaia for The Ring cruiserweight belt in December that snapped his unbeaten streak.
