Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall both made weight for their anticipated rematch at the weigh-in on Friday. Taylor weight-in at 139.6 pounds, while Catterall came in at 139.8 pounds for the junior welterweight clash in Leeds, England.

Both fighters had to be separated as they got into a war of words during their face off. “That’s all the talking done now. Fully focused on Saturday night, tune in it’s going to be one hell of a fight,” Catterall said. “Its been a long camp, I’ve done everything possible asked of me, everything’s ready now to turn up tomorrow, re-write it.”

Taylor played it cool with the media in his remarks after the stare down. “It’s just another fight week, just another fight tomorrow night, all the training is done, can’t wait for tomorrow now,” Taylor said. “I will look good tomorrow and I’ll look good winning; I’ll look good doing the job.”

What’s on the line?

Their first fight ended in controversy as Taylor was awarded the decision even though Catterall floored in him the 8th round and was the better boxer in that fight. Nevertheless whoever comes out on top in this fight will be in light for bigger fights at the stacked super lightweight division but Saturday will provide an explosive fight. But who will come out on top this time?
