Jack Catterall vs Arnold Barboza is the feature bout on the Matchroom & Golden Boy Promotions staged card at Co-op Live in Manchester on Saturday, February 15. The winning fighter will take home the WBO interim world super lightweight belt. However, it’s what could occur after clinching that belt that’s most important, as the victor looks set to be handed a world title shot against the current WBO king, Teofimo Lopez, later in the year.
Jack Catterall has bounced back well from his contentious world title loss (the only loss of his career to date) to Josh Taylor in 2022. 'El Gato' is currently on a 4-fight winning streak since then, which includes a revenge victory over Taylor in May last year that preceded his comprehensive points success against Regis Prograis in October.
All four of Catterall's latest wins have come by decision, and he's not stopped an opponent since KO'ing Oscar Amador in the 3rd round of their 2019 encounter. Catterall may have had a positive and memorable 2024, but he must remain patient and focused as he awaits his next crack at a world crown. He returns to Coop Live for a second successive ring encounter. It’s the 11th fight in total in the city of Manchester for ‘El Gato,’ which has proved to be a happy hunting ground for the local Chorley boxer.
Like Catterall, Arnold Barboza is used to getting the job done the hard way, with 7 of his last 8 bouts going the distance. Unlike Cattrall though, the American remains unbeaten from his 31 starts to date. However, Barboza has yet to fight for a full world crown despite being 31-0 and having been involved in several WBO inter-continental title fights. He hadn’t fought out of the States prior to April last year, but he remains on the road for this clash following his victory over Jose Carlos Ramirez by unanimous decision in Riyadh last November.
Elsewhere on the Manchester card, relatives of two former famous British fighters are in action. Michael Gomez Jnr (son of Michael Gomez) goes gunning for Reece Bellotti’s British & Commonwealth super featherweight titles, and William Crolla (brother of Anthony Crolla) aims to extend his winning streak to 7-0 against Ayoub Zakari from Spain after his pro debut in 2023. Another fighter looking to go 7-0 is the 2020 Olympic silver-medallist, Pat McCormack, who takes on the former British, European, and Commonwealth super lightweight champ, Robbie Davies Jr.
