JOSH TAYLOR is finishing up signing some gloves when he jokes about drawing a moustache on opponent Jack Catterall.
“Or maybe some whiskers, because he’s a wee p****,” he adds. Then he bursts out laughing.
If the Scot is feeling the pressure ahead of tonight’s rematch with Catterall then he’s not showing it.
Taylor faces his foe from Chorley at Leeds Arena with serious doubters for the first time in his career.
The Prestonpans puncher could do no wrong in his first 18 fights as he collected all four belts in the light-welterweight division.
But the last 27 months have seen his stock plummet and questions arise.
The controversial win over Catterall brought plenty of negativity as he was fortunate to retain his undisputed crown in February 2022.
