World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman has confirmed that Jose Zepeda is indeed their mandatory challenger to world champion Josh Taylor of Scotland. Taylor will first stake his WBO, WBC, WBA, IBF titles against Jack Catterall on February 26. Catterall is the mandatory challenger under the World Boxing Organization.

Jose Zepeda is done with taking the kind of fights that normally lead to a title shot. The way he sees it, dues have been paid and it’s time to collect promises that have been made to the former two-time title challenger.
