Meanwhile, Catterall has maintained momentum, securing victories over Darragh Foley and Jorge Linares. As the boxing world turns its eyes towards Leeds, both men are presented with the opportunity to write the next chapter in their storied rivalry.

In a sport where the narrative can change with a single punch, Taylor vs. Catterall II is more than just a rematch; it’s a testament to the resilience, determination, and heart that defines boxing at its finest.
