Jack Catterall has hit back at Josh Taylor after the undisputed world champion taunted him about his drop in the WBO rankings following their controversial fight.and the result sent shockwaves around British boxing.Most observers felt the challenger did more than enough to win, and judge Howard Foster scored the contest 113-112 in his favour.
However, judge Victor Loughlin had it 113-112 to Taylor, while Ian John-Lewis scored the bout 114-111 to Taylor.There have been many calls for a rematch in the aftermath, but Taylor is adamant he won and will now be moving up in weight. As a result, he is expected to vacate his world titles and many are hoping to see Catterall get a shot at one of the vacant belts.In the latest twist though, the WBO have now dropped Catterall from his number one mandatory position down to number three in their super-lightweight list.None of the other governing bodies have Catterall in their top two either.
When this news about the WBO broke, Catterall reacted with a series of shrugging emojis on his Instagram story.
