“I’ve got to listen to the medical professionals” – Josh Taylor not taking any chances after Jack Catterall rematch is rearranged

JOSH TAYLOR has defined to Boxing News the causes behind suspending his rematch in opposition to Jack Catterall.

On Thursday (March 14) it was introduced in a press launch that Taylor had suffered an damage in coaching which resulted in the struggle being moved from April 27 at the First Direct Arena in Leeds to May 25 at the identical venue.

Having waited over two years for considered one of the most anticipated all-British rematches this century followers may have to sit tight for one more 4 weeks till they see the two bitter rivals lock horns as soon as once more.

Last evening in Birmingham Taylor advised BN he is not pulling out of the rematch in opposition to Catterall and that this is nothing greater than a small inconvenience.

“It’s only been delayed four weeks it’s not as if it’s been postponed or I’m pulling out or anything like that,” Taylor mentioned.

“I had a slight procedure in my eyes early February. It was a couple of days before the pressers actually which explains why I was looking so puffy. I’d been to a couple of check-ups and my recovery was going well and we’re full steam ahead in training as well,” he added.

Taylor continued, “I went to my remaining verify-up on Monday (March 11) and the physician was like the strain in behind your eyes has went again up once more so I’d advise you to put the struggle again a bit of bit to permit it to come again down.

“It’s nothing serious, it’s no injury, nothing like that. It was a bit of a kick in the balls because I was expecting to get it all signed off, but it wasn’t to be. You’ve got to listen to medical professionals especially when it’s as something as precious as your eyes. I ain’t fucking around with it. That’s where we are. As I said before it’s not as if it’s six months or a year later it’s only four weeks. It’s only an inconvenience and I’d like to apologise to everyone who has booked hotels and tickets and travel. But I’ve got to listen to the medical professionals on this one.”
