The Chorley man got his revenge in Leeds.

Revenge was sweet for Jack Catterall on Saturday night when beat Josh Taylor in a rematch of their controversial meeting two years ago. 

Once again, these two domestic rivals produced a thrilling contest which Catterall won on the judges' scorecards (117-111, 117-111 and 116-113) after the fight went the full 12-round distance. 

With Catterall and Taylor having one win apiece when it comes to their head-to-head record, there are calls for a trilogy fight, while Catterall is eager to push on for a world title fight in the not so distant future. 

DAZN takes a look at three possible opponents for his next fight.

With both Jack Catterall and Josh Taylor having one win apiece in their two fights against each other, it seems logical a trilogy fight would be next. 

The two clashes between Catterall and Taylor have been close and have gone the full distance with the victor being declared on the judges' scorecards. 

Once again, the verdicts in Leeds were met with criticism and a deciding fight in this rivalry will settle the score in what has become a heated British boxing rivalry.

Jack Catterall and WBO super lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez now have something in common, they have both beaten Josh Taylor. 

After waiting two years to finally get his chance to face Taylor for a second time, Catterall appears to have his sights set on challenging for a world title and this is something he reiterated in his post fight press conference. 

"To win the world title has always been the dream for me. We didn’t get the undisputed world titles [against Taylor] and that’s fine. That chapter’s been written now," Catterall said. 

"I want that world title fight now. [López] beat Taylor before I did, now I’ve had the win over him and I want to prove I’m better than [López].”

If Catterall is to face Lopez for a world title belt, he will need to hope the American is successful in his defence against Steve Claggett on June 29.

If a fight with Teofimo Lopez cannot be made, then a clash with IBF super lightweight Subriel Matias is another possibility for Catterall when it comes to challenging for a world title. 

A meeting with Matias will be easier to make with the Puerto Rican a Matchroom fighter just like Catterall so there will be no promotional obstacles to overcome. 

Again, just like Lopez, Matias must first make a successful defence of his title against Liam Paro next month live on DAZN before Catterall can put himself forward to face one of the super lightweight division's most exciting names.
