Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall LIVE: Fight stream, latest updates and result tonight
Follow round-by-round updates from the main event and undercard, plus all fight results
Josh Taylor is set to be cheered on by a passionate crowd at the OVO Hydro arena this evening, as the Scot defends his super-lightweight titles against England’s Jack Catterall.
Taylor, the first ever Briton to achieve undisputed champion status in the weight class, will also put his undefeated record on the line here, though Catterall is also unbeaten – with more bouts to his name than his opponent. Taylor (18-0, 13 knockouts) last fought in May when he achieved a unanimous-decision win against Jose Carlos Ramirez to become undisputed title holder. Meanwhile, Catterall (26-0, 13 KOs) has been holding out for this clash with Taylor, biding his time since a points victory over Abderrazak Houya in November 2020. Catterall was patient in the hope that Taylor would be holding all the belts by the time he was finally paired against the Scot.
It proved a wise decision by the Lancashire fighter, who is the underdog here but added some intrigue to this evening’s headline bout by putting his hand around Taylor’s neck at yesterday’s weigh-in, eliciting a furious response from the 31-year-old. Follow live updates and results from Taylor vs Catterall and all of tonight’s fights, below.

Donovan presses forward and lands a right hook to the body before finding a home for a right hand up top.
Another good combination from the Irishman, but Ramirez fires back! The Cuban doesn’t land as many shots but has more power on them...

Ramirez vs Donovan – Round 2
Donovan flicks out straight punches but they land harmlessly on Ramirez’s guard.
The Irishman connects with a well-placed one-two to the body, however, before sliding a left straight through Ramirez’s gloves!
Nice right hook to the body by Donovan, though he’s already bloody around the face and eats a jab.
Nice movement from Donovan to find an opening up top again, however. The crowd is liking this. He lands another right hook to the body in between jabs from Ramirez, who has his opponent retreating with a left hook to the ribs.
A much better round from Donovan, but you get the feeling it will be hard for him to sustain that level for another eight rounds...

Ramirez vs Donovan – Round 1
A bit of a feeling-out process to start this one.
Donovan with a one-two to the body as the first meaningful punches of the fight land.
He lands a left hook to the body but is dropped with a left hook!
He seems cognisant and is back to his feet quickly, before throwing a right hook and a jab.
Fellow southpaw Ramirez is applying pressure now, though, and Donovan winces as he feels a left hook drill into his liver.
