Taylor-Catterall Rematch: Simmering Tension Explodes in ‘Hate Runs Deep

After two years of simmering tension, the face-off between Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall ended predictably in separation. Catterall feeling robbed of the chance to be undisputed light-welterweight champion in 2022 faces Taylor again in a highly anticipated rematch.

Despite the controversial split-decision victory, Taylor has dealt with fierce criticism since the first bout. The rematch titled ‘Hate Runs Deep,’ is described by promoter Eddie Hearn as a career defining fight with both fighters risking their careers.

Taylor downplays any hatred but acknowledges a lack of camaraderie with Catterall. Catterall despite his understated demeanor aims to avenge his only career loss. The fight carries intense significance and both boxers are eager to put the rivalry to rest.
