Josh Taylor vs. Jack Catterall
Taylor and Catterall are definitely rivals but Taylor says there is no hate between them. “There’s no hate. I don’t hate him, I don’t know him to hate him.” Taylor said to the media, “But he’s said a lot of things through the years, it’s created a little bit of dislike. It’s not a guy I’m going to sit and go for a pint with. He doesn’t like me, I don’t like him, so purely business for me.”
Catterall had similar thoughts. “Hate is a strong word but we’re two different characters, and there’s this whole narrative about England vs Scotland.” Catterall said to the media, “Yeah, it’s a good rivalry and it gets the juices flowing but it’s just me versus Josh and I don’t think he’s a nice guy, he’s not somebody I’d shake hands and go have a pint with. We don’t see eye to eye, we’re not friends and we’re going to fight and that’s what I’m most excited for — to be able to glove up and dust him in.”
