Former British super-lightweight champion and world title contender Jack Catterall is regarded as one of the most talented 140lbs campaigners on the planet.
Cruelly denied unification glory against Josh Taylor in 2022, the Chorley star subsequently beat the former undisputed super-lightweight king to cement himself as a bona-fide world level operator.
The 31-year-old now campaigns at welterweight, and possesses an impressive CV, which includes victories over the likes of Taylor, Regis Prograis and Jorge Linares.
Catterall has won 30 of his 32 professional bouts to date with Arnold Barboza Jr, in addition to Taylor, the only other man to have beaten him as a professional fighter.

Catterall's only two professional losses have both been controversial, with his first, at the hands of Taylor in 2022, being described as one of the biggest robberies in boxing history.
His loss to the Scotsman meant he missed out on the chance to become a unified 140lbs world champion, and whilst he managed to avenge that defeat last year, the rematch had no titles attached to it given Taylor had vacated at that point.
The only other man to have beaten Catterall in the pro ranks is Arnold Barboza Jr, with the American edging a contentious split decision in February this year.
