Taylor and Catterall ahead of their fight earlier this year
Taylor was, controversially, declared the winner
That would take place almost a year on from their highly controversial bout.
Taylor and Catterall met in Glasgow back on February 26th for the undisputed light welterweight championship.
Defending champion Taylor was declared the winner via split decision – a verdict that caused widespread fury.
Many commentators, experts and viewers felt that Englishman Catterall, the WBO’s mandatory challenger, was the clear winner of the fight.
But instead, the judges awarded the victory to Taylor.
It was a result that handed Catterall the first loss of his career.
Despite the controversial reaction, Taylor insisted he had won the fight, saying “I don’t think there is any need for a rematch.”
However, The Tartan Tornado looks set to go head to head with Catterall once again.
He’s since vacated three of the titles he held at the time of the fight, but remains the WBO light welterweight champion.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Taylor revealed he’s vacated the titles in order to make the Catterall rematch happen.
He said: “At the end of the day, I’m the champion, I still did have all the belts. I’ve let go of three of them to make this fight happen.
“I think it will most likely be back in Scotland, we’re not really sure on the timeline but it’s looking like it’s going to be next.
“I’ve got absolutely no doubt that I can stop him and I’ve got absolutely no doubt that I’m going to beat him, and beat him really well this time.
