Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall are set to continue their gripping rivalry by facing each other for a second time this year.  

BoxingScene have reported that the super-lightweight pair have agreed to renew hostilities on November 26 with the contest taking place at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro Arena. 

Back in February, spectators were left stunned when Taylor retained his world titles via a contentious split decision victory.  

Many believed that Catterall had been the better fighter throughout and after he dropped Taylor in round eight, it appeared that was the definitive moment that would see him crowned undisputed champion at 140lbs. 

Instead, the ringside judges scored for Taylor and the result has sparked bitter exchanges from both fighters since with social media the location for their constant verbal insults.  

At one stage, it looked like Taylor would move to welterweight, but with those plans now thwarted for the time being, a second meeting with Catterall looks to be next.
