Jack Catterall fires back at Josh Taylor sickener as Englishman warns 'corrupt' boxing chiefs he may QUIT

Disgusted Jack Catterall admits he is considering giving up boxing as he's lost faith after his Josh Taylor fight.

And the Englishman reckons there is corruption at play - because he can't explain the judges' verdict otherwise.

Catterrall took on Taylor at the Hydro on Saturday and appeared to have got the better of the hometown hero over 12 rounds. But it was the Tartan Tornado's hand raised at the end after a split 2-1 verdict in his favour.

Taylor remains the undisputed light-welterweight champ but the decision was widely criticised but there is an investigation underway as to how the judges reached their verdict in Glasgow.

Robert Smith of the British Boxing Board of Control says it was a closer fight than much of the reaction has suggested, but responding to that live on talkSPORT, a sickened Catterall couldn't believe it.

He said: "It's been an emotional rollercoaster. I was on top of the world on Saturday night and I've hit rock bottom since.

"I'm lucky, I've had support from my family, my friends and the country, so I can take a bit of solace in that.

"It's hard to wrap my head around. After listening to Rob there, it's sickening.

"I've had a lot of respect for him and the BBBofC but I'm losing confidence in them now.

"To say the fight was close, there's not one other person that thinks that. I don't know what he was watching. It's sickening.

In an emotional interview, Catterall also revealed he is giving thought to packing it in altogether after his big opportunity went up in smoke.

He said: "Fighting's all I know, I've done it for 18 years. It's a tough one, even before this fight there were times when I thought I might have to get on the road and start working to provide for my family.
