Jack Catterall discusses his rematch with Josh Taylor
Betfred’s Lightweight Boxing Show have been speaking to world title contender Jack Catterall (26-1, 13KO) regarding his rematch with Josh Taylor (19-0, 13KO) for the WBO light-welterweight title, in particular sharing his thoughts on 'The Tartan Tornado's' recent link-up with trainer Joe McNally.'El Gato' questioned whether it's a good move, explaining, “In my opinion, you would need a few fights to get settled with new methods. I don’t think Joe can change him overnight. It will be interesting.”
Here's what the Chroley man had to say:
Jack Catterall on Josh Taylor’s switch of trainer:
“I don’t know Joe McNally personally but Josh has been in there a matter of weeks now and the fight is 12-14 weeks away. I don’t know if you can change somebody who’s boxed a certain way, over a long period like Josh has. In my opinion, you would need a few fights to get settled with new methods. When I joined Jamie [Moore], it took me three or four fights before I was able to embed the things I’ve been working on. I don’t think Joe can change him overnight. It will be interesting.”
Jack Catterall on whether he feels more pressure into the rematch:
“Nothing’s really changed apart from more eyes being on the fight. I’m very grateful for that and I’ve had a lot of support since the last fight, but I keep myself grounded as I’ve got a great team, a great family and great friends around me. They will keep me where I need to be. Ultimately, the fight is going to grow in exposure and that’s a good thing for me. Hopefully everybody can see me become world champion.”
