Adamant Josh Taylor insists he won but Jack Catterall's heartbroken trainer fumes over 'disgusting' verdict

Scottish boxing hero Josh Taylor admitted he felt the heat of the Hydro after holding on to his world titles in controversial fashion.

The Tartan Tornado was put down for the first time in his career by Jack Catterall but rallied to scrape out a split decision, with the cards showing 114-111, 113-111 in Taylor's favour and one with 113-112 to the Englishman.
