One particular judge, Ian John-Lewis, will have to explain how he managed to make Josh Taylor a winner by three points - and that will take some explaining, trust me, and I'm a massive Josh Taylor fan. There's no suggestion in the British Boxing Board of Control's very short press release that there's anything wrong. The decision doesn't sit well with me and I don't think it ever will - they stole a moment in my life I'll never get back."

Taylor thought the Englishman "deserves another title shot" but confirmed that he would be moving up a weight. Taylor has taken to Instagram to say he accepts that "many fans believe Jack deserved the decision" at Glasgow's OVO Hydro but that this did not excuse personal attacks.Īfter watching re-runs, the Scot still believes he "won a very close fight" but congratulated "helluva fighter" Catterall "on a great fight" in which he "rose to the occasion".
