Hot on the heels of the BOXXER and Sky Sports fighter roster announcement, the fall schedule, including Josh Taylor, is released for UK fans to chew over.

Topping the list is super-lightweight king Josh Taylor putting his four belts on the line against compatriot Jack Catterall.

As the mandatory challenger, Catterall has to be dealt with before Taylor can contemplate meetings with some of the biggest names in the sport.

Confirming details of the upcoming schedule, BOXXER released extensive information to World Boxing News.
