Light-welterweight boxing champion Jack ‘El Gato’ Catterall aims to thrust himself back into title contention when he faces former three-weight world champion Jorge Linares at Liverpool’s Echo Arena on Saturday night.
Speaking ahead of the fight he said ‘he is coming to win’. But who is the man behind the boxing gloves? Who is Jack Catterall? He is a 30-year-old English professional boxer. He challenged for the undisputed light-welterweight title in 2022. At regional level, he has held multiple light-welterweight championships, including the British title from 2017 to 2018. Where is he from? He was born on 1 July, 1993, in Chorley.
How many has he lost? The Chorley fighter is looking to navigate his way back towards a world-title shot after the contentious loss to Scotsman Josh Taylor in February 2022. He lost on a split decision when he challenged for Taylor's WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF light-welterweight titles. It caused a stir in the boxing world, with fans, fighters and pundits feeling Catterall was the clear winner and should have become the first Englishman to become undisputed champion in the four-belt era.
