Jack Catterall & Jorge Linares both made weight on Friday, coming in at 140 lbs each for their headline attraction on DAZN this Saturday night.
Catterall (27-1, 13 KOs) is the favorite to win this headliner against the old warrior Linares (47-8, 29 KOs), but you can’t rule out an upset when they meet for their twelve-rounder at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool.
Linares, 38, desperately needs a win at this stage of his 21-year professional career to remain a viable opponent for the bigger names.
At this point, it’s unlikely the former three-division world champion Linares will ever win another world title, but if he defeats Catterall, he least has a chance to fight for a belt against the winner of the Regis Prograis vs.
Devin Haney bout.
