Taylor vs. Catterall

Taylor vs. Catterall II will stream live on DAZN and exclusively LIVE on ESPN+ in the U.S.

Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall are gearing up to throw hands again in a rematch that’s been simmering for over two years, exploding into the First Direct Arena in Leeds on a Saturday night, May 25. This brawl is going to light up the screens live on DAZN in the UK and globally, with an exclusive showdown live on ESPN+ stateside.

These two have been at each other’s throats since their last clash in February 2022 in Glasgow, where Taylor barely hung onto his Undisputed Super-Lightweight title with a win that had everyone talking. The fight was a rollercoaster, with Taylor getting nicked up and knocked down, but also dishing out some late hits, while Catterall got his wrist slapped for hanging on too tight.

Despite seemingly outmaneuvering Taylor for a good chunk of the fight, Catterall got a bitter taste of defeat, sparking a wildfire of debate among fans. Since then, Taylor’s had a bit of a tumble, dropping all his belts and losing his crown to Teofimo Lopez. Catterall, on the other hand, came back swinging, dusting off Darragh Foley and sending Jorge Linares packing.

Now, with the stage set for one of the most heated rematches in British boxing, the tension is through the roof. Taylor’s itching to shut Catterall up, boasting he’s never dodged a fight in his life and warning Catterall he’s in for a thrashing. Catterall’s burning for a chance at redemption, sick of the constant reminders and eager to settle the score once and for all.

Eddie Hearn and the boxing bigwigs are all buzzing about this grudge match, promising an electric build-up and a night of non-stop action. They’re throwing this fight out there without the pay-per-view strings, aiming to deliver a knockout event.

Bob Arum’s counting on a wild crowd in Leeds, betting on Taylor’s never-back-down attitude to bring the heat. DAZN’s Alfie Sharman is painting this as the ultimate showdown, part of a blockbuster run of top-tier fights.

Stay tuned for the ticket scramble and the press conference fireworks, because this fight is set to be a barn burner.
