Josh Taylor has revealed that he will be staying at light-welterweight amidst rumors that he would be moving up in weight classes. He also revealed that the reason he is staying at the same weight class is so that he can rematch Jack Catterall:
"The only reason I'm staying at [light-welterweight] is I want to fight Jack Catterall again. I don't think it was the wrong decision [in February] but I want to shut everyone up. I want to prove that was an off night for me and that I'm one of the best fighters on the planet. Because of all the stick and abuse I've been getting, and the way Jack's been too, mouthing off and moaning, I just want to shut his mouth."

Josh Taylor fought Jack Catterall on February 26th at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow. The bout was supposed to be a routine title defense for the champion.

'The Tartan Tornado' has received a lot of abuse online and has been on the receiving end of endless trolling. He wants to set the record straight by beating Catterall.
