Josh Taylor’s Boxing Odds & Betting Outlook vs Catterall
Taylor is looking to make the inaugural defense of his undisputed distinction and will do so in front of a partisan crowd.
The Scotsman plies his trade on home soil after unifying the division last month and aims to impress his countrymen in a big way.
Something of note here is that this could be Taylor’s last bout at 140 pounds. He has discussed moving up and pursuing opportunities in the welterweight division.
Names like Terence Crawford and Errol Spence have been buzzed about as possible future opponents. But Taylor has a myopic focus on this weekend and understands those big box office welterweight wars fade away if he fails against Catterall.

Jack Catterall’s Boxing Odds and Betting Outlook vs Taylor
Catterall is the mandatory challenger and has been waiting for this crack since the stepped aside for Taylor to face Jose Ramirez for the undisputed title.
Since last competing in November 2020, Catterall has largely had Taylor squarely on his radar. He has been thoroughly game-planning to fight him for the last year-plus.
Catterall’s spotless record is a good look, and he has taken on some relatively stiff competition.
But he has not really fought anyone on that elite world-class level, and the challenger realizes just how much he’s moving up in quality of opposition this weekend.
