Preview and back story to the upcoming press tour of the rematch between Josh Taylor and Jack Caterall which takes place on April 27 in Leeds, UK

After more than two years of waiting, bitter rivals Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall will finally meet in a hugely anticipated rematch at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on Saturday April 27, shown live on DAZN in the UK and around the world and exclusively on ESPN+ in the U.S.

BoxingScene.com has learned that a date and venue have finally been agreed for Josh Taylor (19-1, 13 KO’s) and Jack Catterall (28-1, 13 KO’s) to reignite their rivalry.

It seemed like the talking was almost over. It is almost two years since Josh Taylor retained his undisputed super lightweight title with a controversial split decision victory over Jack Catterall.

Josh Taylor realizes his last two performances were the worst of his eight-year professional career. The former undisputed 140-pound champion can’t believe, though, that some detractors don’t even consider him an elite-level fighter anymore. The 33-year-old Taylor emphasized during a recent interview with IFL TV that he remains one

Josh Taylor remains hopeful that his next fight will still be a rematch with Jack Catterall. The former undisputed 140-pound hopes, too, that Catterall’s handlers realize that their initial financial offer wasn’t close to what it’ll take to secure a deal for their second fight. Taylor disputed during an interview with IFL TV that Catterall’s
