The undisputed junior welterweight title is on the line on Saturday in Glasgow
Undisputed junior welterweight champion Josh Taylor is set to lace up the gloves on Saturday to defend his four world championships against mandatory contender Jack Catterall at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow (2 p.m. ET, ESPN+). Taylor, who has been no stranger to dangerous fights in his rise to the top of the 140-pound division, is hoping this defense will help him to set up a move to welterweight and a shot at big names such as Terence Crawford and Errol Spence.

Before moving on to more prestigious fights, Taylor (18-0, 13 KO) has to handle business against WBO mandatory challenger Catterall (26-0, 13 KO).
Catterall had earned his shot at the WBO belt when the sanctioning body ordered a fight with then-WBO and WBC champion Jose Ramirez in 2019. Instead, Ramirez would go on to instead to face his WBC mandatory, Viktor Postol. Still in line for a shot at Ramirez, Catterall took step-aside money to allow Ramirez and Taylor to fight in a four-belt unification, which Taylor won by narrow unanimous decision.
