JACK CATTERALL wants a world title shot against the United States’ Teofimo Lopez after his thrilling unanimous points win against Josh Taylor in Leeds.

Chorley’s Catterall avenged his contentious split decision defeat to former undisputed super lightweight champion Taylor in Glasgow two years ago at a sold-out Leeds Arena.

All three judges gave the fight to Catterall, two by scores of 117-111 and the other by 116-113, although Taylor will feel aggrieved it was not scored closer.
