Taylor: I've rewatched Catterall fight and still believe I won

Josh Taylor says he has rewatched his fight with Jack Catterall and still believes he was the winner despite widespread criticism of the split decision.

Taylor remain undisputed super-lightweight champion via a split decision in his Scotland homecoming on Saturday, despite being knocked down, cut and out-boxed for long periods.

The decision was a major shock to the large majority of ringside analysts, with the entire Sky Sports team in agreement Catterall had done enough to become world champion.

The British Boxing Board of Control is now investigating the scoring. Howard Foster scored the bout 113-112 to Catterall, but Victor Loughlin gave it to Taylor by the same scoreline reversed, and Ian John-Lewis scored it 114-111 in the Scot's favour.

But Taylor released a statement on social media on Monday reiterating his belief that he won the fight and confirming he will be stepping up to welterweight.

He wrote on Instagram: "I have taken a few days for some well-earnt time with my family after not seeing them for a few months. I've had a chance to watch the fight back. First and foremost, I want to congratulate Jack Catterall on a great fight. He rose to the occasion and fought a valiant fight. However, I believe I won a very close fight."Many fans believe Jack deserved the decision, and that's fine. We both went in there and fought our guts out for 12 rounds… but the personal attacks on myself and especially my family are disgusting and uncalled for.

"My days at 140 are numbered. My future is at welterweight. Jack Catterall deserves another title shot, and as soon as possible. I've never ducked a challenge in my career, and I'd be happy to fight Jack again, but it would have to be at welterweight. Jack is a great
