The WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO champion is boxing in Scotland for the first time in nearly three years as the first-ever UK fighter to hold all four belts in his weight division when he takes on the English challenger at the sold-out Hydro.

Nine months on from his historic win against Jose Ramirez in Las Vegas, the undefeated Prestonpans puncher returns to the arena where he won Commonwealth Games gold in 2014, which kickstarted his remarkable rise.

His opponent from Chorley is also protecting an unblemished record, with Catterall, three years Taylor's junior at 28, delivering 26 wins including 13 knockouts, compared to Taylor's 18-0, 13 knockout record as a professional.
