In February 2022, Jack Catterall attempted to dethrone Josh Taylor and become the new undisputed super lightweight world title. Despite being a massive underdog, Catterall arguably showcased the best performance of his professional boxing career and wasn't rewarded due to a controversial split decision.
Catterall bounced back with consecutive decision wins against Darragh Foley. In the meantime, Taylor attempted to defend his undisputed throne against Teofimo Lopez, with the latter winning by unanimous decision.
Following two injury postponements, both on the Scottish side, Taylor and Catterall finally went toe-to-toe in a non-title rematch. The 140-pound main event went down inside the First Direct Arena in Leeds, England.
