Josh Taylor edges out Jack Catterall in Glasgow to defend undisputed super-lightweight title

Josh Taylor is STILL the undisputed super-lightweight champion after edging past Jack Catterall on his own home turf on Saturday night at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.

The Englishman was the underdog going into the fight, but those thoughts quickly dissipated as the bout got underway.

Both fighters ended up being deducted points, with the referee dishing out verbal warnings like there was no tomorrow.

Catterall caught Taylor with a short right which forced him to take the eight count in the eighth round.

However, Taylor won the fight via split decision, with two of the judges scoring it in favour of the Scotsman.

Reacting to the verdict, Spencer Oliver exclusively told GIVEMESPORT: “That was the worst decision I’ve ever seen in my life.

“That has left a poor taste in my mouth. It’s a disgrace. It is a f****** disgrace.

“I had Catterall up by five rounds.”
